What We Do

End-to-End Revenue Cycle Management

We handle every phase of your DODD waiver billing — from PAWS authorization checks through collections — so your team can focus on the individuals you support.
01 — Core

DODD Waiver Billing

Expert claim submission for all three Ohio DODD waivers: Individual Options (IO), Level 1, and SELF. We stay current with every code change and PAWS authorization requirement.

IO · Level 1 · SELF →
02 — Core

PAWS Authorization Monitoring

We track authorized versus used units for every individual and service, and flag anyone on pace to run out before their authorization span ends — so you can request more in time.

Units · Spans · Alerts →
03 — Core

EVV Compliance

We reconcile every visit against Sandata EVV data before claim submission — preventing the 4-point mismatches that trigger automatic denials in Ohio's enforcement era.

Sandata · Pre-Check →
04 — Recovery

Denial Management

We identify, correct, and resubmit every denied claim. We track denial patterns and address root causes so the same error doesn't cost you twice.

Appeals · Recovery →
05 — Oversight

AR Reporting & Analytics

Transparent, accurate reporting on your accounts receivable, collection rates, denial trends, and cash flow — delivered in plain language every month.

Real-Time Reporting →
06 — Prevention

Pre-Billing Checks

Before every weekly cycle, we confirm active authorizations, certification dates, and unit limits — catching problems before they become rejected claims that cost your agency time and revenue.

Our Advantage

Ohio DODD Billing Is What We Know Best

Most billing companies are generalists who handle dozens of payer types across multiple states. We built Zenith specifically for Ohio I/DD provider agencies — and that focus pays off in fewer denials, faster collections, and billers who truly understand your claims.

We know the difference between an IO Waiver claim and a SELF Waiver claim. We know what triggers EVV mismatches in Sandata. We know how PAWS authorizations, the weekly eMBS cycle, and the Wednesday cutoff affect your cash flow.

01
Personalized for your agency
We learn your agency's workflows, payer mix, and challenges — and tailor our approach to maximize your specific revenue.
02
Transparent reporting every month
Clear AR reports, denial breakdowns, and collection summaries delivered every billing cycle — no surprises.
03
Built for small to mid-size agencies
We focus on the Ohio agencies that national billing companies overlook — giving you enterprise-level billing at an accessible price point.
What Makes Us Unique

Location-Level PAWS Unit
Monitoring & Reporting

Unlike standard billing services, we monitor PAWS unit utilization at the individual level — broken down by service location — so you know exactly where each client stands within their authorized units at any given time.

We deliver structured reports tied to each residential site or service location, enabling house managers and program administrators to act before a client's authorized units are exhausted, rather than discovering a gap only after services have already been interrupted.

📊
Individual-Level Unit Tracking
We track authorized versus consumed units per individual, per service type, and per residential location — across IO, Level 1, and SELF waivers — with precision and consistency.
📩
Site-Specific Reporting
Each report is scoped to a specific service location, so your residential coordinators and house managers receive only the data relevant to their site — clear, actionable, and timely.
📝
Proactive Authorization Guidance
When a client's units are approaching depletion, we quantify the shortfall, project the service impact, and assist in preparing a prior authorization request before any disruption occurs.

About Zenith

A Team Built Around Ohio DODD Billing

Zenith Billing Services was founded with a clear purpose: to give Ohio agencies serving individuals with developmental disabilities access to billing expertise that is deeply specialized, not generalized.

Our team is trained in Ohio DODD billing and service documentation. We understand the nuances of the DODD waiver programs, PAWS authorizations, eMBS claim submission, EVV enforcement, and the compliance requirements Ohio I/DD agencies face every billing cycle.

We work directly with each agency, giving you personalized attention and careful execution — so more of what you earn reaches your agency, and your team has more time to focus on the people you support.

FAQ

Common Questions from Ohio Agencies

Everything Ohio I/DD agencies want to know before working with a billing partner.

Ask Us Anything →
No. We work within your existing system. You simply authorize us as a billing user on your current platform — AxisCare, Axxess, CareSmartz360, or any other. We adapt to your setup, not the other way around.
We offer a percentage-of-collections model — you only pay when we collect for you. We also offer flat monthly rates for agencies that prefer budget predictability. We'll discuss both options during your free consultation and find what fits best.
Yes — DODD waiver billing is our specialty. We handle Individual Options (IO), Level 1, and SELF waivers. We stay current with PAWS authorization requirements, billing code updates, and Ohio DODD policy changes so your claims are always submitted correctly.
Before submitting any claim, we reconcile your visit data against Sandata EVV records to confirm a match on all required data points: date of service, billing provider NPI, service code, and member Medicaid ID. We flag and resolve discrepancies before submission — not after a denial.
Every engagement starts with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as required by HIPAA. We use encrypted email and secure file transfer for all PHI. Access to patient data is strictly role-controlled and audited.
No. We operate month-to-month because we want to earn your business through results — not binding agreements.
Most agencies are fully onboarded within 5–7 business days. Once agreements are signed and system access is granted, we begin reviewing open claims and submitting new claims in the next weekly billing cycle.
