Capture More Revenue With HRG
Maximizing revenue in a podiatry practice requires more than just basic billing. It demands a thorough understanding of the unique challenges in podiatry billing and a deep knowledge of the latest features in ModMed Podiatry. That’s where Healthcare Revenue Group shines. Our experienced billing team leverages ModMed Podiatry’s robust tools to help you boost revenue, streamline operations, and minimize costly errors. Here’s how we do it:
Accurate Claims Submission
We know every claim matters. HRG uses ensures accurate submissions every time. We recommend using TriZetto because of its advanced capabilities, but we can work with any clearinghouse. By reducing errors and adhering to complex podiatry-specific billing rules, we help your practice get paid faster and avoid unnecessary delays. Our expertise in ModMed Podiatry’s built-in revenue cycle tools further enhances your claims processing efficiency.
Efficient Payment Management
Handling payments correctly can make or break your revenue cycle. HRG simplifies payment posting with our streamlined processes. We track every payment, ensuring no revenue slips through the cracks. Our team manages credit card payments and integrates secure, convenient payment options directly into your practice management system.

Proactive Accounts Receivable Follow-Up
Outstanding balances can drag down your practice’s cash flow. HRG’s aggressive accounts receivable (A/R) follow-up ensures no claim goes ignored. Our team actively pursues unpaid claims, negotiates with payers, and resolves disputes swiftly. By keeping your A/R days low, we help maintain a healthy, predictable cash flow for your practice. Additionally, you’ll get an incremental bonus with large A/Rs over 30 days old; we’ll free up more money faster than you if you hadn’t made a change.

Denials can be a major obstacle in podiatry billing. HRG’s proactive denial management approach identifies the root causes of claim denials and addresses them before they become an issue. We use ModMed Podiatry’s advanced reporting tools to track and analyze denials, enabling us to fine-tune your billing processes for better outcomes. The result? Fewer denials, quicker reimbursements, and a healthier bottom line.

Frequently Asked Questions: TRAKnet, ModMed Podiatry, and Podiatry Billing with HRG
What is TRAKnet and why is it being discontinued?
TRAKnet was a podiatry-specific EHR and practice management platform built by NEMO Health. Modernizing Medicine (ModMed) acquired TRAKnet in 2021 and has since migrated its features and customer base into ModMed Podiatry, its cloud-based specialty platform. TRAKnet reached end of life on December 31, 2025, meaning no further claim submissions or platform access are available through the legacy system. Practices that have not yet completed their transition to ModMed Podiatry need an immediate plan to protect their billing continuity and historical data.
What is ModMed Podiatry and how does it differ from TRAKnet?
ModMed Podiatry is the cloud-based successor to TRAKnet, built on Modernizing Medicine's specialty EHR platform. It combines clinical documentation, scheduling, practice management, and billing in a single integrated system. Compared to TRAKnet, ModMed Podiatry offers more advanced reporting tools, an adaptive learning engine that suggests diagnoses and treatments based on provider patterns, AI-assisted documentation, and a broader suite of patient engagement features. Practices that switched from TRAKnet consistently report faster charting and fewer documentation inefficiencies after the migration.
What happens to billing and accounts receivable data when transitioning from TRAKnet to ModMed Podiatry?
Historical billing data, accounts receivable balances, and patient records need to be migrated or preserved during the TRAKnet to ModMed Podiatry transition. Practices that signed their upgrade agreement by March 31, 2025 qualified for a free data conversion. For practices that missed that deadline or are managing open A/R from the TRAKnet period, a billing partner like Healthcare Revenue Group (HRG) can manage outstanding claims and accounts receivable through the transition so no revenue is lost during the platform switch.
Can a podiatry practice keep its existing billing company when switching to ModMed Podiatry?
Yes. ModMed Podiatry supports third-party billing partners who work directly inside the platform. Healthcare Revenue Group (HRG) works within ModMed Podiatry on behalf of podiatry practices, managing the full revenue cycle without requiring the practice to change systems or workflows. HRG handles billing setup and financial reporting configuration in ModMed Podiatry so practices are revenue-ready from day one of the transition.
What is the ABN and GA modifier in podiatry billing, and when are they used?
An Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) is a document a provider gives to a Medicare patient before delivering a service that Medicare is expected to deny — typically because medical necessity cannot be established. When a properly executed ABN is on file, the GA modifier is added to the claim line, which signals to Medicare that the patient has been notified and is financially responsible for the charge upon denial. Without the GA modifier and a valid ABN on file, the practice absorbs the cost of the denied service rather than collecting from the patient. In podiatry, ABNs are commonly used for routine foot care services where systemic condition documentation falls short of Medicare's coverage threshold.
What is the "same and similar" rule in podiatry DME billing?
Medicare's same and similar rule restricts reimbursement for durable medical equipment when a patient has already received a functionally equivalent item within a defined timeframe — typically five years for most orthotic devices. Before dispensing DME such as custom orthotics, ankle-foot orthoses, or diabetic shoes, podiatry practices must verify with Medicare intermediaries whether the patient has received a similar item previously. Dispensing equipment without this check and billing Medicare for it is a common compliance error that leads to claim denial and potential recoupment. HRG's billing team manages same and similar verification as part of its DME billing workflow for podiatry practices.
What is the referring provider date requirement for diabetic podiatry patients, and why does it matter for billing?
Medicare requires that diabetic patients receiving routine foot care have been seen by the physician managing their systemic condition within the six months prior to the podiatry service. The claim must include both the NPI of that managing physician and the date the patient was last seen. Missing either element triggers an automatic statutory denial — not a medical necessity denial — meaning it cannot be appealed based on clinical documentation. HRG tracks and verifies these referring provider requirements for every diabetic patient encounter to prevent claims from failing at submission.
How does HRG support podiatry practices billing through ModMed Podiatry after the TRAKnet transition?
Healthcare Revenue Group works directly inside ModMed Podiatry on behalf of podiatry practices, managing claims submission, denial management, accounts receivable follow-up, DME billing, and monthly financial reporting. HRG also recommends TriZetto as a clearinghouse for its advanced capabilities but can integrate with any clearinghouse the practice uses. With more than 26 years of podiatry billing experience and expertise across ModMed Podiatry, eClinicalWorks, and NextGen, HRG provides podiatry billing services that maintain full revenue cycle continuity before, during, and after the TRAKnet transition.
