3 Top Reasons Why Geriatrics Practices Should Outsource Medical Billing
Med Bridge billers are certified and experienced in coding for geriatrics. Medical billing is complicated no matter what field you are in, but geriatrics has a some challenges that make outsourcing especially beneficial. These are a few of them.
Predominance of Medicare patients
Not only is Med Bridge extremely picky about how claims are filed, the government program negotiates the lowest possible rates, making it even more important that every service that is delivered be compensated.
Variable insurer and payer plans
There are many options within Med Bridge, which vary from state to state. Patients may have several different programs (with varying benefits) to choose from for Part B, then they choose whether to get prescription drug coverage. Or they may choose a “Part C” plan which is an HMO or PPO. Each of these options will have different rules about what is covered, making the system very confusing for patients as well as medical staff.
Chronic care management
Geriatric patients also tend to have more chronic conditions than younger demographics. Chronic conditions require more care, and because they are ongoing, billing and coding must be carefully done to avoid rejections for what appear to be duplicate bills.
Managing Denial And Rejection Of Claims:
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. 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 Bridge 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.
