When you hire a Medical Billing Service you are getting multiple billers working on your account

Florida, FL (prHWY.com) December 21, 2012 - Florida, Dec 21, 2012 - When you hire a Medical Billing Service you are getting multiple billers working on your account. There is constant activity with claims submissions, payment posting, follow-up, patient billing and account inquiries. If one of those billers happens to be out, there are multiple billers there to fill in, ensuring that no work is left until that biller is back in the office. This means there is no disruption in the Billing Process and no hiccup in the revenue received.

Entering in the claims, and reviewing each claim before it gets sent to the insurance carrier is time consuming. This is also true with payment posting; it is time consuming to post the money received to each CPT code, yet extremely important. With just those two responsibilities, there is little time left for the claims that require more action.

Health Management Information - When a physician is confident that the financial aspect of their business is in good hands, and is not worried about whether or not claims are being submitted and money is being collected, they can focus on what is the most important aspects of a physician's job - patient care. With a Medical Billing Service if there is a code in question or a diagnosis code that cannot be found, the Medical Billing Service will be able to assist in finding that code. This in turn allows the physician to keep on seeing patients and charting without skipping a beat, instead of sitting and trying to figure out what the code is.

Properly trained office staff will give more of their attention to the patients, which in turn will be appreciated by those patients who are also more likely to recommend the physician to their friends and relatives. Along with increasing the efficiency of the office a Medical Billing Service also eliminates many patient calls regarding their accounts. When a patient has a question regarding a statement, or a bill that they have received either from the office or an insurance carrier, the call is handled by the Medical Billing Service.

Similar to trending, which helps increase profitability, a similar trend happens when the billers are reviewing claims prior to them being submitted to the insurance carrier. The billers will assist the physicians when there is a conflict in the codes being billed or if they see something that is being repeated that will help the physician and save them time when doing their chart notes. Many Medical Billing Services offer the services of a Business Analyst who will work with the physician and their office staff and provide suggestions on how to maximize the usage of tools on hand (i.e. EMR, MAs, office flow, etc). This will increase efficiency and productivity.
