Whether a gastroenterology practice is in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center, there are many parts that go into even simple procedures. All of those parts must be accounted for in the codes that are submitted for billing, and anything that is missing or inconsistent will cause a claim to be rejected. Med Billing RES’s entire focus is on medical revenue cycle management (RCM), including billing and coding, so our team is trained and experienced in keeping track of all the details that must be included in the coding for gastroenterology claims.
There is a lot of detail involved, contributing to physicians spending more and more time on paperwork and having less time and energy for patient care. The good news is that almost all of the administrative work related to gastroenterology practice billing can be outsourced to professional billing companies like Med Billing RES, who do nothing but manage that aspect of the medical field.
Gastroenterology procedures are performed at varying facilities and with different teams like Internal Medicine, Clinical Lab, Hepatology: gastroenterology billing codes must reflect both who was involved and what kind of facility was used as well as what was done. Each physician and attending medical professional must be indicated, but not necessarily separately, as some procedures are bundled.
Coding for sedation varies, depending on how long the patient was affected as well as whether there was a separate physician present for anesthesiology. This requires coders and billers to be familiar with the procedures and knowledgeable about the various combinations that require modification to the codes.
After a patient has been diagnosed and treated, future screenings are coded as high risk, and coding must also indicate the history, again, requiring experience in the specialization for coders and billers.
