Error-free medical billing is vital for the
existence and financial health of medical
practices. It can be considered the backbone of
healthcare facilities and therefore, it is
necessary to ensure that there are no issues when
billing for rendered services. Since there
various stakeholders involved, the medical
billing process can pose various difficulties for
the providers. There is a strong need for them to
communicate across payers and departments to
ensure that relevant information is being
properly captured. They need to have a
streamlined medical billing process in order to
optimise revenue and reduce days in accounts
receivable.

• If you are running an independent practice and
  you wish to overcome revenue-related challenges,
  then here are some of the billing issues that you
  need to be aware of
• If your practice is failing to capture crucial
  patient information, then it will result in claim
  reimbursement delays. The process of medical
  billing starts as soon as the patient interacts
  with your front-office staff. At this point, it
  becomes necessary for the staff to collect and
  document the patient information accurately. This
  is the information your billers use for filing
  claims and for billing patients for balances.
• Not informing patients about their financial
  responsibilities is another billing issue that
  needs to be handled. Your practice might face
  collection issues if your staff or billing
  company is not informing your patients about
  their financial responsibilities. Patients need
  to be told that will likely be responsible for
  their healthcare expenses. Some of the balance
  should be collected during the patient visit.
• If you want to reduce the administrative burden
  on your practice and also bring down the AR days,
  then it is necessary that you get rid of manual
  claims management procedures. Make sure that your
  practice is using robust tools for data
  collection. There needs to be good communication
  between the office staff and the clinical staff.
  The denial management procedure of your practice
  should also be streamlined for better results.

Inaccuracy in coding is also a common billing
issues due to which practices fail to get paid.
It is necessary that you hire trained coders who
are aware of the coding changes and updates.
Using incorrect codes results in denials,
impacting the revenue cycle of practices. For
error-free coding, it is necessary that the
front-desk staff communicates with you in case of
any documentation issues.
