common mistakes physicians commit with
dermatology billing

• 1. Insufficient Claim Information
• A single empty or unchecked box on a claim can
  result in a denial. Even the most essential
  fields, such as gender, date of birth, and time
  of the accident or medical emergency, are
  frequently left blank.
• 2. Insurance Verification Failure
• The most common reason for claim denials is
  insurance issues. An overreliance typically
  causes failure to verify on routine. If a patient
  visits the office frequently, the staff may
  assume that their insurance provider or coverage
  plan hasnt changed and may fail to check
  eligibility.

• 3. Failure to Meet Filing Deadlines
• Some payers provide two-year timely filing
  windows for individual medical claims, while
  others only offer 30 days. Youre out of luck if
  you dont file your claim on time. Denials for
  timely filing are among the most difficult to
  appeal.
• 5. Typing and Miscoding Errors
• Here are a few of the most common ones to stay
  away from if at all possible
• Incorrect insurance, patient, or provider
  information (i.e., name, address, date of birth,
  policy numbers, etc.).

  or small number of digits.
• In a given claim, no codes are entered.
• Incorrect CPT codes were submitted.
