Conversely you will however lose some control over your practice.

FL, FL (prHWY.com) February 26, 2013 - Florida, Feb 26, 2013 - Conversely you will however lose some control over your practice. If the billing service does not collect more money your expenses will increase. It's up to you to determine whether or not the increased expense is offset by decreased aggravation. A billing service should be able to provide you with a substantial reduction in your day-to-day aggravations such as practice management software issues, fewer employees, hassle of hiring competent employees, less health insurance, less training, etc.

Medical Billing Pay - During the registration you must always obtain copies of a photo identification card and the front and back of all insurance cards. If you have a verification system it's always a good idea to verify the information on the spot if not always previously provided by your central scheduling department. Explain all co-payments and deductibles and then ask for them. Your chances of collecting once a patient leaves your facility are reduced dramatically once they walk out the door. You need to review every form that needs a signature and verify that they have one before the patient walks away. It's the same as throwing the money away.

Handing these functions over to an outside medical billing service can free up staff to perform other essential operations that sometimes get pushed aside. If you have a system of controls, keep an open mind about the competence of your office manager, you've got an excellent computer system, proper information systems and your office is doing a superb job at collecting your money, then by all means do not make any changes.

Insurance carriers are constantly changing their rules, making updates, compliance and regulatory agencies do as well. And when the mandated switch to ICD-10 diagnosis coding occurs, there will be more than ever before to keep current with. The focus of a professional biller is on the pulse of healthcare billing.

Plus, the motivation to collect your money for you is often times greater. You pay your staff whether your denials and unpaid claims are 35% or 2% For an outside biller, their pay is tied to your pay. Think a billing company is going to be more motivated? You bet.

Revenue Cycle - If your department is backed up at peak times during the day ask the patient and/or guarantor to have a seat in your waiting area and inform them of how long it will be before their registration will take place. Point them in the direction of the gift shop or cafeteria. They will be happy for the extra revenue in these areas. When the registration begins tell them how long it will take and after the registration is complete volunteer to walk them to their service department, if not at least provide a hospital map for them.
