What Does HCHG Offer?
|
HCHG enables college health centers to capture
new revenue.
The core of Highland’s program is a fully supported, comprehensive, turnkey system of billing third parties for clinical services provided in campus health centers.
College health represents a specialty practice, and Highland recognizes the differences between working with (i) students in a college health center versus (ii) patients in a private practice setting. As such, Highland has built its business around the needs of college health centers and the students they serve. Our personnel include specialists serving the following functions:
- Coding
- Compliance
- Managed Care
- Credentialing
|
- Practice Management
- Account Auditing
- Data Disaster Recovery
- Information Technology

Medical Billing Services
|
Very few campus health centers have the resources, operational capacity, and experience to bill insurance plans for the actual professional clinical services they provide - office visits, certain diagnostic procedures and minor surgery, and other professional care.
Conducting billing for most clinical visits is beyond the scope of most college health centers. Performing full-scale insurance billing would divert resources (space, information technology, and personnel) away from other important needs. And paying for those resources would drain funds and shift focus from essential programs that benefit students. |
The Opportunity
|
| But most students have health insurance that would pay for clinical visits, and they - and their parents - are used to presenting their insurance cards when they seek health care. Campus health centers need a way to collect that potential revenue without getting distracted from their primary mission. HCHG makes that possible, and at Highland’s current partner campuses, students and parents appreciate not paying out of pocket expenses for ancillary services their insurance already covers. |
