North Carolina rehabilitation professional billing —
Form 25N to paid invoice.
Form 25N puts you on the case, the NCIC registry under 11 NCAC 23C says you may be there, and you invoice the carrier or the TPA at market hourly rates — North Carolina has no rehabilitation fee schedule to argue with. That freedom is exactly why your itemization has to be unarguable.
The facts, before the pitch.
How billing works in North Carolina
- Who you bill
- The carrier or TPA.
- What you send
- Invoice at market hourly rates — there is no rehabilitation fee schedule.
- The channel
- Direct to the payer; North Carolina mandates medical e-billing.
- Fee basis
- Market hourly rates.
- The clock
- Not a deadline we have verified for North Carolina. Ask the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC), and read the payer’s own contract, before you rely on a date.
The system. Carrier-assigned through Form 25N; the registry covers vocational AND nurse case managers.
Where the rules are written. 11 NCAC 23C.
The paperwork with its own name. Form 25N.
One of three states where nurse case managers register alongside vocational providers.
Electronic billing. Providers must e-bill (medical billing). Direct electronic submission is on our roadmap and is not something we ship today: Med Claims Pro builds the bill, the report packet and the receivable, and files your proof of what left — you send it through the channel the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC) gives you.
Configured for North Carolina during onboarding — see it with your caseload. Your rates, your forms, your payers and your folder names are set up in your first week, included in every plan. What is on this page is what we would configure; we have not claimed a single North Carolina customer anywhere on it.
Your week, in North Carolina’s documents.
A registry that covers vocational professionals and nurse case managers, a carrier assignment on a single form, and a rate you set and then have to defend.
- 8:05 a.m.New Form 25N arrives. Assignment accepted, file opened.Client, claim number, carrier, referral source and rate set once, in one place, at the start.
- 10:20 a.m.Appointment attended, forty minutes, plus wait time.Wait time is its own line because it is its own argument. Both are billable, both are recorded as they happen.
- 1:50 p.m.Vocational assessment write-up and employer contact.The narrative is written once and feeds the monthly report and the invoice.
- 4:15 p.m.Invoice out, at your hourly rate, itemized by date and activity.And a receivable the moment it leaves, so nobody has to remember it.
Every one of those rows is typed once, as it happens. The daily log writes itself as you go, the weekly narrative log builds in your own Word template, a CMS-1500 fills with the right units and the right payer block where a payer wants one — and where your state bills on its own form or an invoice, the dated, timed, priced lines that go on it come off the grid, and the receivable is tracked from the moment the bill leaves. The whole chain →
North Carolina puts nurse case managers on the same list as vocational professionals.
The NCIC registry covers both, which is unusual — only Maryland’s practitioner registration and Georgia’s Rule 200.2 do anything similar. If you carry medical case management and vocational files at the same time, North Carolina treats you as one professional with one standing.
Your software should too. The same activity grid produces a vocational invoice and a case-management invoice; the receivables list ages them together by payer; the aging report names the carrier sitting on your money regardless of which kind of file it came from.
There is no rehabilitation fee schedule in North Carolina, so nothing external justifies your rate. The itemization does: date, activity, minutes, rate, total, with the record behind every line. The nurse case manager page.
Who pays you in North Carolina.
Private carriers and TPAs, assigned by Form 25N. No state fund, no fee schedule, no intermediary — which makes the payer relationship, and the invoice that lands on the adjuster’s desk, the entire game.

One check, many claimants. Whichever of these names is on the envelope, the check covers a dozen files at once. You record it once, tick the bills it pays, and anything short is flagged with the exact gap and the original form attached, ready to rebill. How that screen works.
Billing addresses and submission preferences go stale faster than any page can keep up, so we publish them only where we keep them current — today that is Ohio’s nine MCOs. Your North Carolina payers and their submission preferences get set up during onboarding, from your own files.

States that work like North Carolina
Questions, answered.
There is no fee schedule. What do I bill?
Your market hourly rate, itemized by date and activity. The software does not set your rate; it makes the bill behind it impossible to argue with, and it keeps the same rate consistent across a file so nothing drifts mid-case.
Does it cover nurse case management as well as vocational work?
Yes, and North Carolina is one of the few states where that is a formal fact rather than a convenience — the NCIC registry covers both. Same grid, different invoice. More.
North Carolina requires providers to e-bill. Do you do that?
Not today, and we will not imply otherwise. Med Claims Pro builds the bill, the documentation and the receivable and files proof of what was sent; direct electronic submission for mandate states is on our roadmap. Ask us where it is when you call.
Can it track Form 25N assignments per carrier?
Yes. The assignment, the referral source and the adjuster live on the file, and the reports break billed, paid and owed down by payer, so you can see which carrier assigns most and which one pays slowest.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
The software goes read-only. You keep viewing and exporting everything, in your own formats, indefinitely. How that works.
