Podiatry billing shouldn't be this hard.

Designed for the intricacies of podiatry, Athelas RCM leverages clinically advanced AI to automate billing, coding, and follow-up, helping your team focus on patient care while revenue flows predictably into your practice.

Skip the scrubbing and chasing claims across portals. Get cleaner billing and faster reimbursement.

The Problem

Podiatry billing is complex and high volume.

Between routine care, procedures, and nuanced payer rules across Medicare and commercial plans, your team is constantly managing:

  • Modifier-heavy coding requirements, including Q modifiers and routine foot care distinctions

  • Frequent denials and rework

  • Manual claim tracking across portals

  • Delayed reimbursements and cash flow gaps

The Solution

Athelas RCM automates your entire revenue cycle so you can focus on patient care.

Purpose-built for podiatry, Athelas uses clinically advanced AI to handle billing, coding, and follow-up in one seamless system.

No manual scrubbing or chasing claims required. Just cleaner submissions and faster reimbursement.

How it works

Step 1

Claims Flow Automatically

Clinical data syncs directly from your EHR into Athelas with no double entry.

Step 2

AI Optimizes Every Claim

Claims are scrubbed, coded, and submitted the same day using payer-specific rules, so you stop leaving money on the table.

Step 1

Denials are handled instantly

AI flags issues, prioritizes high-value claims, and drafts appeals automatically, so nothing sits unanswered.

Step 1

Performance is fully visible

Dashboards show A/R, claim status, and trends by provider and payer, so you always know where your money is.

01

Handles routine care, procedures, and surgical billing across visit types

02

Applies correct modifiers and payer-specific rules automatically

03

Reduces manual work across billing and follow-up

04

Fits directly into your existing clinical workflow
