Why Your Chiropractic Practice Needs Outsource
Billing?

• As a successful chiropractic practitioner, you
  may get exasperated at times with your facilities
  monthly or quarterly bottom line. Monetary
  reimbursement from insurance companies or
  patients may not be coming in as quickly as it
  used to. This means most of the time you and your
  staff time is spent on the task of chiropractic
  billing.
• This is where an outsourced chiropractic medical
  billing and coding company comes in handy. Their
  service takes charge of all your coding and
  specialty billing needs. This would free your
  time up to take care of your patients.
  Outsourcing also presents you more time to draw
  in new patients to your practice. And this is
  just one of the reasons to outsource your billing
  needs.

• Critical reasons you need to outsource
  chiropractic medical billing tasks

• Outsourcing your medical billing needs cuts down

  of claims submissions, right from first entry to
  the reimbursement date, thus an increase in
  profit.

• If the reimbursement claims going out of your
  office are not coded exactly as needed, the
  payment for your services will be delayed. When
  you outsource your chiropractic billing
  requirements, the dedicated medical billers and
  coders will have experts overseeing, if the tasks
  are performed correctly.
• The medical billing companies that
  provide revenue management services have systems
  in place to track the claims to make sure payment
  is made in a timely fashion.
• The various federal and state regulations on what
  is covered by insurance companies are constantly
  changing. This makes it difficult for your office
  staff to keep up with all these changes. An
  independent and dedicated specialty chiropractic
  billing organization typically has staff
  designated to this task.
• Once when you make up your mind to outsource the
  medical billing requirements, the next step is to
  look at the things that make them good at their
  job.
• Keep in mind that not every billing and coding
  company is built alike. Many billing service
  providers still operate on old technologies. Here

Check the credentials   You should expect the
chiropractic medical billing service provider to
employ people with advanced degrees and
experience with millions of claims. They should
be educated in chiropractic coding, or law, with
healthcare compliance experience. Most of the
chiropractic medical billers are unconsciously
incompetent, and if they are competent they
should, at most, play an assistant role in the
billing service company. Is the billing software
compatible with your specialty? Most
chiropractic billing software is built and
designed to satisfy the needs of a single clinic.
A billing organization designs its software to
take advantage of all the operational efficiency
of congregating multiple clinics claim and
processes which drives the cost way down, reduces
errors, and drives the collection rates up. For
example, imagine if you were a farmer who had to
harvest one plant at a time. That would be
ridiculous and highly inefficient! Yet, that is
what a medical facility does when they perform
their own billing in-house.
