Pulmonology Billing Services
Stands to Lose Greater Amounts
Pulmonology Billing Services USA are essential for safeguarding revenue in this high-cost medical specialty. Pulmonology is particularly vulnerable to financial loss due to billing and coding errors, as pulmonary billing codes are complex and frequently updated. An experienced pulmonology billing team can minimize mistakes and efficiently manage rejected and denied claims. In contrast, less experienced office staff may spend excessive time trying to resolve issues, often failing to address complex claims in time—resulting in significant revenue losses.
Complications Start With Scheduling
The medical billing process begins during the scheduling phase, where insurance coverage and payer requirements are verified. In pulmonology, appointments are often rescheduled to coordinate with other specialists such as general surgery, oncology, radiology, as well as hospital procedures and annual processes that need to be tracked and managed.
In general medical practice, hundreds of patients may come through the doors each day, leading to a large number of low-dollar claims being filed. However, in pulmonology billing, examinations and treatments are more detailed, in-depth, and time-consuming. A physician might see only 10 to 15 patients on a typical day, so the financial impact of a single unpaid claim can be significant.
Modifiers play a crucial role in coding, as they provide the specific details necessary to ensure proper reimbursement for all services rendered. While inexperienced coders can find the general code for a procedure, they often struggle to determine the required levels and additional numerically-coded details that must be included.
