Hire Urgent Care Billing Services
Even though your dedicated urgent care medical billing team is day in and day out managing all the insurance work, looking at patient responsibility, resolving incorrect payments, dealing with claim rejections and outstanding accounts, your billing costs are on the rise without your revenue keeping up with it. Why do you think this is happening even though your dedicated medical billing and coding team is working so hard?
A typical workday of a medical biller begins with coding medical information of patients for reimbursement. They check to see that the insurance companies are being billed in the right way. Coders code relevant information using appropriate software. Look for errors in coding and ensure everything has been submitted timely.
If there are any issues regarding their patients’ insurance, they sort them out. Along with all this they also are the link between the urgent care center and the doctors’ clinics and offices, hospitals, and insurance companies, and keep the communication going.
Not only does your team have to stay up to date on ever-changing procedure codes and insurance ICD-9, it also has to be aware of the yearly changes and claim updates. With things changing so often, the scope of errors creeping in also increases. And, this is when your urgent care billing system begins to falter and slip.
Despite your medical billing team working so hard your revenue stream just does not seem to pick up. The one best way to avoid such a situation is by outsourcing your medical billing work to a company that is expert at handling urgent care medical billing services. Why waste your expensive resources and increase the costs when you can have a team outside your company doing it all for you, and that too at a much less cost.
Benefit of Outsourcing
What if we told you that there is at least one error in almost 80% of all the medical claims and billing documentation submitted? And it is due to these errors that your urgent care center does not receive the payments that it should be receiving. Sometimes you may have to wait months before you receive your payment.
Training and keeping your team updated also is an expensive process. Plus, it is almost impossible to remember 80,000 diagnostic and procedure codes and submit 100% accurate claims the first time itself. Your way out is outsourcing your medical billing work to a company that manages urgent care billing exclusively, leaving your valuable resources to work closely with patients and ensure their safety and satisfaction.
Urgent care medical billing companies have experts who handle your medical billing and coding. They have the skill to submit a clean claim the first time itself. This reduces errors and the issue of late payments too is taken care of. Your patients too are well looked after and their queries are assisted timely.
Since the teams working in urgent care medical billing companies are trained to work exclusively on billing and coding, they are always up-to-date with the ever-changing ICD codes and other procedures. This means very few claims are rejected due to errors or outdated data.
