Are your in-house billers struggling with the complexities of rheumatology billing? Are they finding it difficult to stay on top of changing insurance payer guidelines and constantly evolving codebooks? You need experienced, certified billers who specialize in rheumatology to tackle these challenges.

Utopia Medical Billing’s Rheumatology Billing Services

Medical billing is complex in general, and rheumatology practices don’t have it any easier than other fields. Outsourcing revenue cycle management (RCM), including rheumatology medical billing and coding, has proven to be beneficial for increasing both income and physician job satisfaction.

Paperwork Takes Up To 25% Of A Doctor’s Time

The amount of paperwork required in medical practice now takes up to 25% of a doctor’s time, and for most of them, it is an unpleasant task and causes many to lose their desire to continue practicing. HIPAA is not a barrier to outsourcing because now there are professional rheumatology billing companies like Utopia Medical Billing who ensure that all employees are trained in privacy and security protocols to assure your patients, and your practice, are protected.

Code and Insurer’s Policies Changing All The Time

With codes changing annually and insurer’s policies changing all the time, it isn’t feasible for busy medical staff to stay on top of it all and still be able to focus on patient care. Outsourcing rheumatology medical billing to someone who is completely focused on RCM lets medical professionals focus on medicine, while billing professionals take care of the revenue side of the business.

3 Reasons Rheumatology Practices Need Professional Billing Services

All fields of medicine benefit from being relieved of the work involved in medical billing and coding and rheumatology is no exception. Here are a few aspects of the field that make billing for rheumatology complicated.

A large Number Of Geriatric Patients

Rheumatologists may have patients of any age, but rheumatism and arthritis become much more common in old age. Since most seniors have Medicare, which is extremely picky about how claims are filed, and the government program negotiates the lowest possible rates, it is especially important to receive payment for every service that is delivered. That means coders and billers must be experienced and efficiently get every claim correctly submitted and quickly deal with any rejections and denials.

 

Detailed Coding Requirements

Rheumatology often involves diagnosing and treating conditions that require highly detailed coding, specifying the location in the body and which side is involved. This level of specificity can lead to claim rejections if coders and billers lack experience. Expertise is crucial, not just to identify errors in what’s documented, but also to recognize what’s missing that should be included for accurate reimbursement.

Multiple Doctors Billing For One Surgery

When a team from one hospital performs surgery, they bill as a unit, but when doctors who are not part of the same institution come together for a procedure, the billing gets more complicated. Medical billers must know how to carefully code to avoid the appearance of duplicate or redundant billing.
