3common mistakes physicians commit with
dermatology billing
- 1. Insufficient Claim Information
- A single empty or unchecked box on a claim can
result in a denial. Even the most essential
fields, such as gender, date of birth, and time
of the accident or medical emergency, are
frequently left blank. - 2. Insurance Verification Failure
- The most common reason for claim denials is
insurance issues. An overreliance typically
causes failure to verify on routine. If a patient
visits the office frequently, the staff may
assume that their insurance provider or coverage
plan hasnt changed and may fail to check
eligibility.

4- 3. Failure to Meet Filing Deadlines
- Some payers provide two-year timely filing
windows for individual medical claims, while

timely filing are among the most difficult to
appeal. - 5. Typing and Miscoding Errors
- Here are a few of the most common ones to stay
away from if at all possible - Incorrect insurance, patient, or provider
information (i.e., name, address, date of birth,
policy numbers, etc.). - Entering ICD-10-CM codes with an unusually large
or small number of digits. - In a given claim, no codes are entered.
