ObGyn Billing Services in Texas: In-house or Outsourcing?
The debate on whether to choose in-house billing or outsourcing ObGyn RCM depends on a multitude of factors such as practice, time the business has been around, market size, and finances. As ObGyn billing and coding is the most crucial and complex constituent of a medical practice, factors need to weigh appropriately before an action is taken on choosing the service. Again, due to newer and constant innovation of technologies, drugs and codes, and government regulations, practitioners need to often choose which service will work best for them.

Pros and cons (in-house billing): • Accessibility: As soon as a patient visits the facility, insurance verification is possible spot on, and charges can be entered in the system leading to faster claims and payments by the staff. • Competency: Once the physician/healthcare center has recruited a billing team, education and trainings continue along with the possibility of accurate and timely billing services.

• Proximity: In-house billing gets easier if documentation or codes need to be re-checked by a physician, which can be then done instantaneously. • Few staff: However, is the billing team is small and someone is absent (vacation/illness/quits), the operations can get disrupted and the revenues can decline if another competent personnel is immediately unavailable and/or is not being recruited at the earliest, and the work load increases.

• Expensive: In-house billing can be expensive as physicians have to pay for employees' salaries, allowances and medical insurance along with other billing setup costs (technology, coding, execution). Pros and cons (outsourcing): • 1. Costs: Costs related to office space, investments in software and hardware, billing personnel and their salaries, health insurances, seating and storage space, training costs etc. are avoidable.

• Staffing: There are no worries about staffing as replacements are available at all times. And as the billing is being taken care of by competent and certified billers, it leads to lesser denials on claims, along with the outsourcing company having the ability to figure out and fix the reasons for denials. • Regularity: The ObGyn outsourcing company is more consistent in terms of accuracy, timing and regularity in sending claims and their follow-up. They are also able to identify denials and other reimbursement trends.
