outsourced optometry billing services!
Every moment when you think that your optometry
billing and coding prerequisites are under
control, new reimbursement and claims submission
guidelines, coding alerts, or dedicated staffing
roadblocks occur. When you as a practitioner are
continuously managing claim denials and
rejections, along with eligibility and benefits
verifications, plus the claims submission and
payment posting, looking into AR cleanup, and
billing issues, it all compounds to the heavy
workload that may impact your patient
interaction. According to the Medical Group
Management Association report the average cost of
reworking on a medical claim is somewhere around
25 to 30 and that 50-65 of rejections or
denials are never re-worked. Here the key
financial metric to focus on is to make sure all
the claims submitted are clean and free from
errors. Do keep in mind that knowing how to
prevent rejections or denials in the first place
is the best Return on Investment (ROI) for your
optometry facility. Here is some vital
evaluation that optometrist needs to consider in
order to keep adequate cash flow and ROI for
their practice.
