Dermatologists handle a wide range of conditions that may or may not be considered "medically necessary," depending on factors like severity and additional diagnoses. Proper coding is crucial in determining whether a claim is approved or denied, which is why coders need specialized training to accurately identify diagnoses, procedures, and use the right modifiers. Dermatology medical billing is one of our specialties, and our team stays updated on the latest coding changes. Reach out to learn how we can help you maximize reimbursements.

Bundling charges for treatments performed together often simplifies coding, but billers and coders need to understand what’s included in the bundles and avoid billing for anything outside of them, as that would violate over-coding regulations. Our medical billing company has the expertise to file claims accurately and prevent both over-coding and under-coding.

With all the different rules and distinctions between covered and non-covered procedures, dermatology practices face a lot of rejected and denied claims. To resolve these issues, billing staff need to be experts in the field, able to quickly spot errors or conflicts and figure out how to adjust the coding to ensure the claim gets reimbursed.
