SELECTING THE RIGHT MEDICAL BILLING SERVICE

Revenue collection is the backbone of every business but it is more so in the case of medical practices as they cannot stop attending patients all of a sudden and the depletion of money is slow and steady. This makes it difficult to detect and gain control over finances. It is thus extremely important to keep a tab and analyze the revenue cycle regularly.

Capability and Point of Contact This is one of the primary things a provider should ask a

billing vendor – their expertise and experience in handling billing for specific specialty. The provider should know whether the billing partner can handle the entire process given the size of his practice and average number of patient visits.If you run a cardiology practice, you may want to ask the company if you will have a designation personnel to review the cardiology billing and ensure accurate reports are sent to you regularly. This person should ideally also be your 24/7 point of contact.

Qualification and Experience of Staff

The most common reason for claim rejections and denials is billing errors. An experienced staff will know the terminologies, latest CPT (current procedural terminologies) and ICD (international classification of diseases) codes. The billing vendor should have CPC certified ICD-10 coders considering the approaching deadline for ICD-10 implementation, October 1, 2015.

Support for Training and Billing

With the constantly evolving healthcare reforms like Meaningful Use (MU), for improving care provision, the usage of electronic health records (EHR) has increased manifold. The billing company should have the infrastructure and experience to handle the transition, and the knowledge of using various practice management or billing software.

Timeline for Reimbursement

A billing company should ideally be able to file your claims within 24 – 48 hours and maintain the lowest possible account receivable (AR) bucket as applicable for specific medical specialties. In case of any delay in reimbursements, one should pre-decide the amount to be deducted or reduced from the fees. It is good to have a process in which the teams can have simultaneous access to the progress status of the filed claims.

AR Recovery Team

If there’s one team that you should pay a little extra for, it is the AR team for the religious follows ups they do. Off late pending ARs are a common thing considering the number of rejections and denials due to compliance issues. This team should be conversant with understanding the explanation of benefits (EOB) well.
