RHEUMATOLOGY BILLING SERVICES
Remote Expert Solutions Rheumatology Billing Services
Medical billing is inherently intricate, and rheumatology practices face no less complexity than other medical fields. Opting to outsource revenue cycle management (RCM), encompassing rheumatology medical billing and coding, has demonstrated its efficacy in bolstering both revenue and physician job satisfaction.
Paperwork Takes Up To 25% Of A Doctor’s Time
The extensive paperwork demands in medical practice now consume up to 25% of a doctor’s time, often leading to dissatisfaction and diminishing the desire to continue practicing. However, HIPAA compliance is not a hindrance to outsourcing, as professional rheumatology billing companies like Remote Expert Solutions ensure that all staff are proficient in privacy and security protocols. This guarantees the protection of both your patients and your practice.
Code and Insurer’s Policies Changing All the Time
Given the annual alterations in codes and the constant fluctuations in insurer policies, it’s unrealistic for busy medical staff to keep abreast of all these changes while still prioritizing patient care. Outsourcing rheumatology medical billing to dedicated revenue cycle management (RCM) specialists allows medical professionals to concentrate on medicine, while billing experts manage the financial aspect of the practice.
3 Reasons Rheumatology Practices Need Professional Billing Services
Every branch of medicine reaps advantages from shedding the burdens of medical billing and coding, and rheumatology is certainly no different. Here are several factors within the field that contribute to the complexity of rheumatology billing.
A large Number of Geriatric Patients
Rheumatologists attend to patients across all age groups, yet rheumatism and arthritis predominantly afflict the elderly. Given that most seniors rely on Medicare, known for its meticulous claims processing and negotiations for the lowest rates, it’s paramount to ensure payment for all rendered services. This underscores the necessity for seasoned coders and billers who can accurately submit every claim and promptly address any rejections or denials.
Detailed Coding Requirements
Rheumatologists frequently diagnose and treat conditions that require precise specification regarding the location in the body and which side is affected. Such meticulous detail can lead to numerous claim rejections if coders and billers lack experience in the field. Expertise is essential not only for identifying errors in existing data but also for recognizing missing information that should be included.
Chronic Care
In contrast to injuries or acute diseases with straightforward medicinal remedies, rheumatologists manage numerous chronic conditions. Billing for chronic care entails navigating a complex coding system that not only depends on the specific condition being treated but also on factors such as appointment frequency and the patient’s overall chronic condition count. Billers must possess a comprehensive understanding of these nuances to ensure accurate coding, as errors may lead to claim rejections.
We allow Medical Professionals to be patient-Centric and still get Paid
The financial viability of a medical practice hinges on receiving payment for services rendered. This necessitates the timely and accurate submission of claims, complete with all requisite information. Even minor errors, such as a misspelled name, can lead to claim denials, while any unexplained discrepancies can result in outright rejection. Both under-coding and over coding pose not only financial issues, causing under- or over-payment, but also legal concerns, as they constitute fraud. Instances of such malpractice have led to legal charges against rheumatology billing clinics.
