Outsourcing medical billing services for medical practices or groups can help maximize claims payments and keep your practice compliant. This is accomplished through aggressive collection practices, efficient and accurate execution of billing tasks, and current knowledge of documentation regulations.
In this blog, we discuss important tips to consider when searching for the right medical billing company to handle your practice’s accounts receivable.
Focus on Your Specialty?
Each medical discipline requires distinct policies, regulations, and guidelines when it comes to billing. Look for a medical billing company that has existing medical practices or groups as clients and that also has experience in your specific subspecialty. Make sure the company has certified, professional, and experienced medical coders and billers that will keep your practice compliant with HIPAA and OIG, maximize payments, and drive up revenue.
Important Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Medical Billing Service
When comparing surgical medical billing services, it’s very important to prepare a list of questions that will provide you the information you need to make the most informed decision.
Some questions you may want to ask when researching medical billing companies include:
- What fees do you charge?
- What systems do you have in place to protect personal health information?
- How many clients are you currently working with within my specialty?
Do They Work With Your Current EHR Software?
Medical billing services should streamline your practice’s operations. A medical billing company dedicated to making your revenue cycle more efficient, and as a result, your practice’s operations more efficient, should be able to work with your current EMR software.
Working with a medical billing company that can manage your revenue cycle using your EHR is key to achieving long-term profitability and productivity. Additionally, contracting medical billing professionals that can work with your EHR ensures that your office staff does not need to be re-trained on a new software, meaning they can keep doing business as usual.
How is Their Customer Service?
When choosing a medical billing service, one of the most important things to consider is customer service. It’s important to know that you will be able to access support when needed and that your phone calls and emails will be answered promptly the same day. Ideally, the medical billing company you choose will assign at least one individual that will be dedicated to your account.
