Error-free medical billing is vital for the
existence and financial health of medical
practices. It can be considered the backbone of
healthcare facilities and therefore, it is
necessary to ensure that there are no issues when
billing for rendered services. Since there
various stakeholders involved, the medical
billing process can pose various difficulties for
the providers. There is a strong need for them to
communicate across payers and departments to
ensure that relevant information is being
properly captured. They need to have a
streamlined medical billing process in order to
optimise revenue and reduce days in accounts
receivable.

  • If you are running an independent practice and
    you wish to overcome revenue-related challenges,
    then here are some of the billing issues that you
    need to be aware of
  • If your practice is failing to capture crucial
    patient information, then it will result in claim
    reimbursement delays. The process of medical
    billing starts as soon as the patient interacts
    with your front-office staff. At this point, it
    becomes necessary for the staff to collect and
    document the patient information accurately. This
    is the information your billers use for filing
    claims and for billing patients for balances.
  • Not informing patients about their financial
    responsibilities is another billing issue that
    needs to be handled. Your practice might face
    collection issues if your staff or billing
    company is not informing your patients about
    their financial responsibilities. Patients need
    to be told that will likely be responsible for
    their healthcare expenses. Some of the balance
    should be collected during the patient visit.
  • If you want to reduce the administrative burden
    on your practice and also bring down the AR days,
    then it is necessary that you get rid of manual
    claims management procedures. Make sure that your
    practice is using robust tools for data
    collection. There needs to be good communication
    between the office staff and the clinical staff.
    The denial management procedure of your practice
    should also be streamlined for better results.

Inaccuracy in coding is also a common billing
issues due to which practices fail to get paid.
It is necessary that you hire trained coders who
are aware of the coding changes and updates.
Using incorrect codes results in denials,
impacting the revenue cycle of practices. For
error-free coding, it is necessary that the
front-desk staff communicates with you in case of
any documentation issues.
