3 Top Reasons Why Geriatrics Practices Should Outsource Medical Billing
MedEx MBS billers are certified and experienced in coding for geriatrics. Medical billing is complicated no matter what field you are in, but geriatrics has a some challenges that make outsourcing especially beneficial. These are a few of them.
Predominance of Medicare patients
Not only is Medicare extremely picky about how claims are filed, the government program negotiates the lowest possible rates, making it even more important that every service that is delivered be compensated.
Variable insurer and payer plans
There are many options within Medicare, which vary from state to state. Patients may have several different programs (with varying benefits) to choose from for Part B, then they choose whether to get prescription drug coverage. Or they may choose a “Part C” plan which is an HMO or PPO. Each of these options will have different rules about what is covered, making the system very confusing for patients as well as medical staff.
Chronic care management
Geriatric patients also tend to have more chronic conditions than younger demographics. Chronic conditions require more care, and because they are ongoing, billing and coding must be carefully done to avoid rejections for what appear to be duplicate bills.
