Apple Health
Administered by Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) through ProviderOne.
Washington Revenue Cycle Management
Medical billing for Washington practices — Apple Health, Medicare, and commercial payers.
Washington's Medicaid billing runs through Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA), and every managed-care plan has its own rules. We bill Apple Health, Medicare, and Washington's commercial payers correctly the first time — and follow every denial through to resolution.
The Washington payer landscape
Managed-care plans
- Apple Health managed-care plans (Amerigroup, Community Health Plan of Washington, Coordinated Care, Molina, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan) [VERIFY]
Dominant commercial payers
- Premera Blue Cross
- Regence BlueShield
- Kaiser Permanente Washington [VERIFY]
Why Washington claims get denied
- Wrong Apple Health managed-care plan on file among the five active MCOs
- ProviderOne claim rejected for an NPI or taxonomy mismatch at time of submission [VERIFY]
- Prior authorization missing for a service a specific Apple Health MCO requires but another doesn't
- Behavioral health integration claims routed to the wrong component of an Apple Health plan
- Eligibility lapsed and wasn't re-verified before a visit in a high-turnover Medicaid population
Washington behavioral health billing
Washington has moved most behavioral health services into fully integrated Apple Health managed-care plans, so we verify the specific plan's integrated behavioral health billing rules before submission rather than assuming a statewide standard applies [VERIFY].
Credentialing comes first
ProviderOne enrollment plus separate credentialing with each Apple Health managed-care plan you'll bill is the standard Washington sequence — see our Washington credentialing page for the full timeline.

Your Washington claims and your bookkeeping are handled by the same team, so collections, denials, and adjustments always tie back to your financials without a reconciliation gap between separate vendors.
