Because an infectious disease practice deals with such a wide range of medical conditions, and can be in many different settings from small independent practices to large hospitals, each of which requires different medical coding, it can be difficult to run a practice without professional, specialized infectious disease billing and coding services tailored to various medical specialties.
Ensuring accuracy and compliance in medical billing procedures is crucial. Proper billing practices help avoid illegal practices like upcoding and downcoding, and partnering with third-party billing companies can ensure that medical billing professionals stay informed about regulatory changes.
It may be scary to hand over such a huge responsibility to an outside firm, but many medical practices have found that outsourcing infectious disease medical billing services are exactly what it takes to get a handle on the ever-changing medical codes and to deal effectively with payers so that the practice gets paid appropriately for services rendered.
Outsourcing can also help reduce denied claims, improve revenue cycle management and keep the practice profitable. Accurate and complete documentation in medical records is key to preventing claims denials and getting paid on time.
Medical billing professionals need to stay up to date on changes from regulatory bodies like CMS to stay compliant with changing billing rules and guidelines
The infectious disease billing starts with scheduling when the insurer’s coverage and allowable charges are verified. Including diagnostic test results in the documentation is crucial for compliance with regulatory standards and successful billing. Med Billing RES’s innovative software keeps your office up to date with recent changes to the codes and payers’ individual policies.
The spread of infectious diseases is one of the areas of medicine that gets the most governmental attention, and vaccinations and treatment protocols need to be implemented immediately when an epidemic is identified. Staying informed about regulatory changes in healthcare billing, particularly those issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is crucial.
It’s enough for physicians to keep on top of what they need to be doing to care for patients—so figuring out how to do billing and coding for each new thing that comes along is just too much distraction. That’s why outsourcing to an infectious disease medical billing company that is dedicated only to coding and billing works so well.
Claims may be rejected over small clerical errors but will certainly be denied if the coding is incorrect or doesn’t match the expectations of the payer. Accurate code selection is pivotal for ensuring proper reimbursement and compliance with medical billing standards. Accurate coding associated with specific procedures is essential to avoid claim denials and maintain revenue flow. Over-coding and under-coding occur when office staff is not familiar with all the details of the latest changes, or even the way each payer is bundling charges. Med Billing RES’s certified billing specialists are trained in the latest coding practices and experienced in recognizing common errors so that corrections are made and clean claims are submitted.
