The Good:

1. Efficiency: Billing software can significantly increase efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, such as data entry and invoice generation. This can save time and reduce the risk of human error.
2. Accuracy: Modern billing software is designed to be highly accurate, reducing the likelihood of billing errors that can lead to financial disputes or regulatory issues.
3. Cost Reduction: Using billing software can reduce the need for extensive manual labor, leading to cost savings in terms of employee salaries and operational expenses.
4. Data Security: Good billing software often includes robust security features to protect sensitive financial data from breaches and cyberattacks.
5. Analytics and Reporting: Many billing software solutions come with built-in analytics and reporting tools, allowing companies to gain insights into their financial performance and make data-driven decisions.

The Bad:

1. Cost of Implementation: Implementing billing software can be expensive, including the initial purchase cost, training, and potential customization to fit the company’s specific needs.
2. Learning Curve: Billing software can be complex, and employees may require training to use it effectively. This learning curve can lead to temporary disruptions in operations.
3. Dependency on Technology: Relying heavily on technology can be risky if there are system failures, technical glitches, or if the software becomes outdated.
4. Security Concerns: While billing software can enhance security, it can also be vulnerable to hacking and data breaches if not properly protected and maintained.
5. Lack of Customization: Some billing software may not fully meet a company’s unique requirements, necessitating additional development or workarounds.

Regarding the billing company’s usage of the software, it’s crucial for them to:

• Understand the Software: The billing company should have a thorough understanding of the software’s capabilities and limitations to maximize its benefits.
• Employee Training: Adequate training programs should be in place to ensure that employees are proficient in using the software efficiently and securely.
• Procedures and Compliance: The billing company must establish procedures that align with industry regulations and best practices to ensure compliance when using the software.
• Regular Updates: Keeping the software up to date is crucial for security and taking advantage of new features or improvements.
• Data Backup and Recovery: Robust backup and recovery procedures should be in place to protect against data loss.

In conclusion, while billing software offers numerous advantages, it’s essential for billing companies to carefully consider both the advantages and disadvantages and take steps to mitigate potential pitfalls. Proper education, training, and procedural safeguards are crucial for harnessing the full potential of technology in billing operations while minimizing risks. Fortunately, Merem Healthcare Solutions encompasses ways to mitigate both the bad and good in technology, so you don’t have to worry about anything related to your revenue cycle management operations.

The motto for getting paid is to Ask Early and Ask Often for Payment.

The fact is, the further into the collections process you go, the less likely a patient is to pay in full. If your practice’s patient collection efforts only go as far as issuing statements and generating “bad debt” reports of accounts that are turned over to collections, it’s likely that less than 50% of those collection balances will be recovered.

If this describes your practice, an improved strategy for Patient “Pre-Collections” that is both aggressive and fair should be implemented. Revenue for services rendered is the lifeblood of any facility, and if patients need to foot 40% of the bill, you can’t afford to miss out.

• Discuss payment expectations when you discuss procedure and appointment setting. If unable to pay in full, collecting a nominal portion the day before or the day of may make it worth proceeding.

• Collect a portion of co-pays upfront from patients. This isn’t always possible in the case of many emergency room admissions, but it is for specialty services such as elective surgeries and ancillary procedures.

Point of Service Collections

Point of service collections is just as important as insurance collections. Missed co-pays can quickly add up to a significant revenue loss. In the long run, point of service collections helps to cut down on statement costs and patient AR.

In order to

Patient billing is a significant problem for patients and providers.

ensure patients understand their coverage and are aware of their responsibilities — and that you get paid. Develop a self-pay policy, communicate it clearly to both staff and patients, and self-pay collection will become an integral part of your practice workflow.

People are not aware of their deductibles for specific procedures but when the time comes, it’s often the front office staff that has to educate patients about their insurance and the agreed-upon patient responsibility. Oftentimes, patients who hold high deductible health plans and other aggressive patient cost-sharing models are unpleasantly surprised with they find our they are ultimately responsible for their surgery. Patients who need to pay out of pocket for some or all of their medical care are frustrated by difficulties understanding what’s covered and what they owe, the lack of options for payment plans, and the poor timing of bills and communication around the process.

Front office staff are intimidated to collect payments or have not perfected Point-of-service collections, the art of asking for payment.

collecting some or all of the co-pay upon admission or before services are rendered

For Example:

Don’t Ask: CAN you can pay today?

Ask: How WILL you pay today?

Make it easy for patients to pay. 9 times out of 10, patients say they want to be able to pay their medical bills online. Facilities and healthcare providers can help ease the burden for patients by setting up customized payment plans, using patients’ preferred payment methods — which helps ensure that bills will be paid.

We don’t just set up a payment framework and then walk away; we are committed to giving providers the analytics, technology infrastructure, clinical support, and other resources that increase their likelihood of success. We also try to understand and address their challenges; for example, knowing that cash flow is a big issue, we’ve worked to make billing cycles shorter and more predictable.

By utilizing an experienced team of medical billers and coders who are knowledgeable in various specialty medical codes and trends, you can rest assured that things are being handled properly behind the scenes while you and your medical team can take care of patients upfront.

Chances are what first brought you into the healthcare industry was wanting to help others. You wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and give them more quality years. However, as you started your own private medical practice, you probably saw it was filled practice management tasks leaving you with less time with patients and more time behind a desk dealing with insurance and other revenue cycle demands. 

Be More Proactive in Your Medical Billing and Coding

According to Healthcare Business & Technology, more than 80% of medical bills contain errors. Medical billing errors are the biggest reason for the disruption of cash flow in a physician practice. 

Fortunately, by making sure everyone on your team is on the same page when it comes to documentation (as well as having a strong medical billing and coding team), you can greatly reduce these errors so that cash flow in your medical practice continues to move in the right direction.

No Errors Allowed!

As you well know, most medical billing errors are due to:

• Incorrect patient information, which includes insurance provider information
• Duplicate billing
• Poor documentation
• Unclear claim numbers
• Wrong codes being used

However, by putting the proper training in place and outsourcing your medical billing and coding services, you can ensure that a majority of your claims will not be denied. 

When these medical billing and coding errors take place, claims come back denied. Resubmitting a fixed claim denial with the correct information can take weeks for review and approval on the other end. In addition, this puts a delay in not only payment from insurance but also slows down the payment received from the patient. 

Medical billing errors add up quickly. Before you know it, your medical practice is starting to lose money rather than gain. However, by utilizing an experienced team of specialized medical billers and coders who are knowledgeable in various medical codes and trends, you can rest assured that things are being handled properly behind the scenes while you and your medical team can take care of patients upfront. 

Give Your Patients the Experience They Deserve

Even during a normal health care checkup, a patient’s anxiety can be high. Therefore, having a warm welcome can make all the difference in starting the patient’s experience off on the right foot within your medical practice. 

Allow our team to handle the billing and coding services behind the scenes so that your front office staff, along with other members of your medical team, can focus on the patients walking through your door and providing them with the best experience possible! 

Remember, happy patients will not only return. The chances are high that they will bring friends!

The post Outsource to Avoid Medical Billing and Coding Errors! appeared first on MEREM Health.

Below, the medical billing and coding experts at MEREM Healthcare Solutions have provided five of the most effective responses you should take when handling a claim adjustment.

5 Effective Responses to Common Claim Adjustments

Prove Medical Necessity

Sometimes claims are denied because they have been deemed medically unnecessary. In this case, you may need to submit additional information to prove that the service was medically necessary.

For example, if a person who has lost a lot of weight has surgery to have their excess sagging skin removed, the claim may be denied as cosmetic surgery which isn’t medically necessary. However, if the physician were to provide evidence that the excess skin was causing chaffing and irritation which led to an infection, it then becomes clear that this was a surgery of medical necessity.

What if a Service Isn’t Covered?

If you have a claim denied because the service, such as a weight loss plan, isn’t covered by the payer, don’t adjust the claim. These claims are to be billed to the patient that received the service. If you adjust the claim, then you are providing the service free of charge. The responsible party for a service that isn’t covered is the patient, not the physician.

No Prior Authorization

If you have a claim denied due to not receiving prior authorization, the first thing you need to do is check with the office to make sure they didn’t actually receive prior authorization. If they did, simply add the code and re-file the claim on the CMS 1500 form.

If a prior authorization was not obtained, see if the payer accepts retro-authorizations. They may not, but it never hurts try.

Filing Late

Timely filing denials are a common occurrence when resubmitting a claim that was previously denied. The way to counteract this problem is to be sure that, when you file a corrected claim, you include the payer’s previous claim number that was issued on the denial so that they will see that the original claim was filed in a timely manner and you won’t be denied.

Duplicate Claims

Sometimes when a bilateral procedure is billed on two lines, the payer may incorrectly assume that it is a duplicate. The release of ICD-10, cleared up some of this confusion thanks to the new codes that identify which side of the body a procedure was performed.

Until then, you must resubmit your claim with the correct information and let the payer know that the claim was actually for two separate procedures.

These examples are just a few of the reasons you could receive a claims adjustment. There are many others including bundling and coding errors.

Believe it or not, outsourced medical billing can have an outsized impact that includes costing you less over time than having these capabilities in your practice. Here’s why.

Medical Billing and Coding Services – Cost of In-House Billing

A look at in-house medical billing capabilities starts with the most obvious cost: labor.

Medical billing professionals that work for you as employees cost money. You have their salary (or wages) to begin with, which represents a formidable cost. According to Indeed.com, a medical office biller costs, on average, $34,000. Throw in benefits, like health insurance, and that cost rises even higher.

Multiply this by the number of people you need to do the job (depending on the size of your practice) and your labor cost can easily reach into the six figures.

There’s also the time spent by your managers supervising your billing specialists. That time costs money, too – and per hour, it’s even more expensive. Even if you’re in a small practice, and have one person wearing multiple hats (like billing, answering phones, dealing with patients, etc.) every hour spent billing is an hour that pads your overhead.

That’s just the labor, too. There’s also a very real technological cost that comes with in-house medical billing instead of outsourced medical billing. You’ll have to pay for hardware, equipment, software, technical support, plus peripherals like office supplies, printer ink, etc. The costs add up to quite a bit of money over time.

Bottom Line: Outsourced Medical Billing Saves You Money

Once you add up all of the expenses, you can see how the cost of an outsourced provider is more like an investment that also saves money in the long run.

By outsourcing, you gain access to trained, certified specialists who do the same amount of work but at a lower overall cost. Plus, by hiring the right provider, you can avoid the additional expense of having to not only find and hire a qualified, expert billing specialist but also making sure they stay trained and up-to-date on the latest developments.

Outsourcing your billing is a prudent, fiscally responsible thing to do for virtually any practice. If you have any questions, call us for more information – and learn more about how outsourcing is the right call for your budget.

The post In-House Medical Billing Costs More – Outsource! appeared first on MEREM Health.

For physician specialties, CMS is proposing to revise the current five levels of reporting patient office visits into two levels, one for new patients and one for established patients.  This proposal would also change the documentation required to support the billing of E&M codes. 

This proposal would eliminate separate billing of E&M codes when those visits are furnished in conjunction with other procedures, by applying a multiple procedure payment adjustment in those circumstances.

The proposed add-on code for specialists is temporarily called GCG0X. The code would represent additional costs for resources in specialties that have E&M visits as a big percentage of the allowed charges. These specialties typically report level 4 and 5 visits. They often use E&M codes rather than separate codes for the treatments provided to the patient.

The specialties for the add-on codes include Endocrinology, Rheumatology, Hematology/Oncology, Urology, Neurology, OB/GYN, Allergy/Immunology, Otolaryngology, or Interventional Pain Management-Centered Care. The add-on code would be listed separately in addition to the E&M visit code.

The proposed value of the code was based on 75% of psychiatric evaluation/psychotherapy code +90785.  Medicare has made the decision for the primary RVU to be the same as the specialty, which means the new proposed RVU is 0.25 with a physician time of 8.25 minutes.

Accuracy in medical coding is the life-blood of all medical practice. It takes a knowledgeable and experienced coding staff to maximize your billed charges while maintaining strict compliance with CMS and CCI guidelines. That is why these add-on codes will be something we watch for in 2021 within these specialties. Trust the coding experts at MEREM Healthcare Solutions.

Fee schedules are getting reduced every year. This means if you’re not on top of your patient collections at all times, revenue will be lost.

At MEREM Healthcare Solutions, one thing we know for sure is that poor revenue cycle management can be disastrous for a practice. The codes required for obtaining maximum revenue payout for billing medical claims are constantly changing, which brings numerous challenges for coders in an already busy practice. The coding and reimbursement landscape continues to change.

Impacts of High Deductible Health Plans

Due to patients having more responsibility for their healthcare costs, High-deductible health plans have a significant impact on your bottom line, from patient collections to bad debt.

You must also add in additional labor costs for the time required for your staff to focus on the collections side. Your billing process can no longer be something that gets a couple of hours of attention a day, it will constantly evolve and requires a dedicated staff or team to file and consistently work claims as well as dedicate additional time speaking with patients to discuss coverage and out-of-pocket costs.

Medical Billing and Coding – Let MEREM Health Help

With the increasing prevalence of High Deductible Health Plans and other aggressive patient cost-sharing models, it has never been more important to the financial health of your practice to have an efficient patient pre-collections program in place.

With a typical Medical Billing company, their patient collection efforts only go as far as issuing statements and generating “bad debt” reports of accounts that need to be turned over to collections. However,  we have found that when accounts reach this point, less than 50% of these balances are ever recovered.

At MEREM Healthcare Solutions, we work with our client partners to develop a Patient “Pre-Collections” strategy that is both aggressive and fair. We work with your front office staff and management to develop a Point-of-Service (POS) collections process to effectively collect more money up-front.

Additionally, you will have the added support of a dedicated medical billing team and a patient collections representative. Our patient collections reps work diligently to collect patient balances in full or to make payment arrangements within 90 days and will help you identify and transmit delinquent accounts to a third-party collections agency of your choice.

Contact Us today to learn more about our Patient Pre-Collections Services.

Patient Pre-Collections Solutions

Our Patient Pre-Collections Solutions include:

• 20 hours of consultant time to develop your customized solution

When medical billing errors occur, you are not only causing billing issues with your patients, you are also causing hazards in the cash flow of your medical practice that can get your practice in the weeds. Here’s why you may want to consider outsourcing your medical billing.

The Masters of Outsourcing Your Medical Billing

Did you know that more than 51% of patients owe their physician at least $1000? Could you imagine what your medical practice could provide to your patients if your cash flow remained in the black month after month? New modalities? A better nurse to patient ratio? The benefits would be endless!

This is why it is important to make your medical billing department a priority—even if that means outsourcing your medical billing!

New Medical Codes Are Par For The Course

As a medical coder, there are three sets of medical codes you need to know:

• ICD codes
• CPT codes
• HCPCS codes

Within the aforementioned three sets, there are a number of medical codes, that may be updated and can change quarterly or annually, which can cause confusion if you do not have a knowledgeable and experienced team in place who is constantly staying up-to-date on medical code changes and fully comprehending what each code means.

At MEREM Healthcare Solutions, our medical coders are certified by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). We even have an AAPC-certified instructor on staff to provide on-going training to our knowledgeable and experienced team of medical coders to ensure we are always aware of coding changes in the medical billing industry so that claims go out with errors.

When a medical billing error occurs, it can contribute to a number of issues within your medical practice.

The Hazards Behind Medical Billing Errors

First, it can cause issues with your patient’s insurance. When an incorrect code appears on a patient’s bill, it can over or undercharge them. If the error is found, when re-filing the bill with a new code, it can cause the patient’s insurance company to reject the new bill, which makes it more difficult for you to get the money you are owed.  

Second, it can cause a concern of fraud when incorrect codes are placed on a patient’s chart that shouldn’t be there. As a result, it can put a “red flag” on your medical practice to where you are audited more frequently than usual.

Fortunately, with the right medical billing team behind your medical practice, these two issues never have to come into play. When it comes to outsourcing your medical billing, you can have full confidence that the job is being done right when choosing MEREM Healthcare Solutions for help!

How Do You Determine
The Best Fit For Your Practice?

Have you struggled with choosing an outsourced Medical Billing Company?  Is your medical practice overwhelmed with the paperwork of billing and coding?

If you have outsourced your revenue cycle management process, how did you know that the outsourced medical billing and coding services company you are working with was the right fit for your practice? 

With a reputable billing and coding service, physicians can stop focusing on billing issues and get to what’s important: the patient.

Outsourcing your medical billing and coding to a professional healthcare solution company is advantageous for a number of reasons. Understanding what to look for is essential when choosing a company to outsource your medical coding. 

Check out the list below provided by MEREM Healthcare Solutions for the top the things to consider before choosing the best medical billing and coding company for your practice.

Are you still unsure about outsourcing your medical billing and coding? If so, check out our latest article,

“Should You Outsource Your Medical Coding? Yes!”

How Much Is the Medical Billing and Coding Company Willing to Do for You?

Looking for the best fit?  The best medical billing and coding companies perform above the industry average. The most basic medical billing company will provide:

• claim submission,
• carrier follow up,
• payment posting and processing,
• patient invoicing,
• and collections.

You’ll want to seek out and choose a medical billing and coding company that delivers more than the basics. Ask about their specific performance metrics, including net collection ratio, days outstanding, denial/rejection rate and the average number of days in accounts receivable (AR).

For many practices to even consider outsourcing, patient follow-up is key. If a patient fails to pay, you should expect that the billing company you are outsourcing these matters to will pursue that debt, right? Unfortunately, some will not.

Also, does the billing company provide frequent and detailed analytics and reporting to help your practice recognize what they can do to grow? Or do they just provide a bank statement once a month?

Any company that you are considering to partner with should be transparent about the services that they will deliver in order to help you determine which is the best fit for your practice. Choose a company that goes above and beyond the basic credentials. You also want to find an outsourced solution working within your specialty field of medicine.

Choose Experience And Specialty Expertise

When choosing a medical billing company, experience matters. After all, experience can ensure a smooth, problem-free onboarding process.

The number of years a company has been in business matters, but it’s not the only consideration. You also want to look for a company that has worked for a sizable number of years in your particular specialty. This ensures that they fully understand your field and have more intimate knowledge of the specific requirements for medical coding, documentation, compliance, etc. related to your specialty—whether it’s Advanced Imaging and Radiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, or Gastroenterology.

Perhaps they have only been open for three years, but those three years were spent learning the specific, highly-detailed ins and outs of your specialty. Ask your prospective medical billing companies the following questions before you commit.

• How many years of experience do you have working in your area of expertise and in our area of medicine?
• How many clients in that specialty do you currently have?
• What size practices are you used to managing?

The answers to these questions will help you to weed out the companies who aren’t a good fit and can help ease your mind about partnering with an outsourced healthcare solution that is ready and able to seamlessly take on your practice’s medical billing and coding.

Discuss Technology… The Good and Bad

Technological advances have made for some fancy billing software. Find out what type of software the billing company is using. Does the company understand the full usage of the software? What kind of software education and procedures are in place for their employees?

Your practice wants to ensure there is not a violation of HIPAA privacy rules. A loss of data would most likely shut down your medical practice. Be sure your paperwork is safe and private by asking: 

• How does the medical billing company go about sharing your patient’s data?
• Is there a backup plan in place in case a security breach is made or the system fails? 

At the end of the day, it is essential that you ask all the right questions to ensure that you are getting a full-service medical billing and coding company that can properly handle your practice’s needs.

• When was the last time we reviewed our process or improved our technology?
• How accurate is our documentation?
• Can we improve

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our team at MEREM Healthcare Solutions wants you to know how to be as prepared as possible in case your medical practice finds itself in the middle of a CMS audit this year. One of the best ways to avoid a CMS audit is to be prepared at all times, the best way to do so is by conducting internal audits within your medical practice.

When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Process?

Every medical practice has its own unique operations “process.” Is your process working for your medical practice as it should? Internal audits can be helpful in identifying areas of improvement such as your practice management software/technology and can highlight challenges within each step of your revenue cycle from documentation and coding, to billing and collections.

Technology is always changing to provide improved accuracy, especially when it comes to medical billing. If your medical practice is still using technology from years ago, then you may face a higher chance of errors in addition to your team being limited in their ability to work as effectively and efficiently as possible thorough streamlined pms processes.

Conducting an internal audit can allow you to see if the time has come to update your medical practice’s “process,” also known as “technology.”

An internal audit can also prevent revenue loss from occurring, as it can point to where issues are happening so that you can identify areas to focus on improving. For example, if your practice is facing a signifacant amount of claim denials due to coding mistakes, it might be better to consider outsourcing your medical billing and coding to a team of experts that have the experience,and ongoing training for coding within your specialty —like us!

If it has been a while since your last internal audit, you might want to conduct one sooner rather than later.

How Accurate Is Your Documentation?

When it comes to a patient health record, there is absolutely no room for error. Not only can it cause harm to the patient, it can also cause your medical practice harm and possible fines if caught while undergoing a CMS audit.

There should be no discrepancies whatsoever when comparing medical information, such as health records, which should be filled out properly throughout the entire process. Every detail is key.

MEREM Healthcare Solutions Is Here to Help!

A lot of concerns that we’ve discussed with potential clients particularly come from Pain Management physicians because they are a high risk for audits and they want to make sure everything is being coded and billed correctly and ethically to keep them off the grid from auditors.

As we explained earlier, one of the best ways to avoid a CMS audit is to be prepared at all times, which includes conducting your own audits within your medical practice. If you are noticing your medical practice is losing money or you do not have 100-percent faith in your team’s coding accuracy, it may be time for an internal audit! We can help you.

At MEREM Healthcare Solutions, you can feel confident that our knowledgeable and experienced team provides the coding accuracy your medical practice needs in order to keep insurance claims correct and get your medical practice paid for services provided.
