Rheumatology Billing Services
MedEx MBS Rheumatology Billing Services
Medical billing is complex in general, and rheumatology practices don’t have it any easier than other fields. Outsourcing revenue cycle management (RCM), including rheumatology medical billing and coding has proven to be beneficial for increasing both income and physician job satisfaction.
Paperwork Takes Up To 25% Of A Doctor’s Time
The amount of paperwork required in medical practice now takes up to 25% of a doctor’s time, and for most of them, it is an unpleasant task and causes many to lose their desire to continue practicing. HIPAA is not a barrier to outsourcing because now there are professional rheumatology billing companies like MedEx MBS who ensure that all employees are trained in privacy and security protocols to assure your patients, and your practice, are protected.
Code and Insurer’s Policies Changing All The Time
With codes changing annually and insurer’s policies changing all the time, it isn’t feasible for busy medical staff to stay on top of it all and still be able to focus on patient care. Outsourcing rheumatology medical billing to someone who is completely focused on RCM lets medical professionals focus on medicine, while billing professionals take care of the revenue side of the business.
3 Reasons Rheumatology Practices Need Professional Billing Services
All fields of medicine benefit from being relieved of the work involved in medical billing and coding and rheumatology is no exception. Here are a few aspects of the field that make billing for rheumatology complicated.
A large Number Of Geriatric Patients
Rheumatologists may have patients of any age, but rheumatism and arthritis become much more common in old age. Since most seniors have Medicare, which is extremely picky about how claims are filed, and the government program negotiates the lowest possible rates, it is especially important to receive payment for every service that is delivered. That means coders and billers must be experienced and efficiently get every claim correctly submitted and quickly deal with any rejections and denials.
We allow Medical Professionals to be patient-Centric and still get Paid
Getting paid for services rendered is what makes a medical practice sustainable. That requires submitting claims that are correct and on time, with all the necessary information included. Even something like a misspelled name will cause a denial, and any unexpected and unexplained item will get the whole claim rejected. Under-coding and overcoding are not only issues that result in over and under-payment but are also illegal and have resulted in rheumatology billings clinics being charged with fraud.
