The typical trigger

A SNF receives a TPE, RAC, UPIC, or MAC pre-pay request on Part B supply claims, often in categories such as urological or surgical dressing codes. Without a pre-built audit packet, the response burden falls back on the business office under a tight clock.

How Burst supports the response

For claims Burst billed, our team assembles the supporting documentation, Standard Written Order, certification of medical necessity (where applicable), clinical note, and proof of delivery, and prepares the response narrative for the facility to review and submit.

What outcomes look like

Outcomes depend on the underlying clinical documentation, payer rules, and the auditor's determination. Burst does not guarantee audit success. Documentation-focused billing support is included in our service at no additional cost on claims we billed.

Client voice

Operators who switched to Burst — in their own words.

Before using Burst Billing, we partnered with a medical supply company who would bill Part B plans as the provider and keep the revenue for themselves. Burst Billing not only met but exceeded our expectations and truly opened our eyes to the benefits of a revenue share model. From the transparency and confidence of their leadership to the expertise of their billers, working with Burst Billing has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. They've helped us recover revenue we would otherwise have left on the table.

Every testimonial is from a real, verifiable Burst client. In senior care, most operators prefer not to be named publicly — but prospective clients can request a reference call during their assessment.

As a COO, I rely on partners who bring clarity, consistency, and real operational impact. Burst Medical is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in driving results for our centers.
