Outsource Ob / Gyn Billing and Increase your Revenue With the transition to ICD-10, medical specialties including Ob / Gyn will need to deal with various changes in the diagnosis codes. The providers will be required to incorporate ICD-10-CM information in their documentation and also avoid compliance challenges.   

Increasing number of physician practices and hospitals are now looking for end-to-end billing solutions for a steady income According to a survey conducted by the Black Book, around 71% of hospitals are expected to outsource their coding and clinical documentation tasks by October 01, 2015 According to the MicroMarket Monitor report, the RCM outsourcing trend will pick up pace in the coming months as financially struggling providers will look for a way to improve their quality of care, reduce costs and stay in business

Are your Billers Aware of the Coding Updates? The American Medical Association (AMA) released 335 changes to its CPT code set in 2014. This included several code additions, for example the Category III code 0336T is a new code for laparoscopy, albaltion of uterine fibroids including intraoperative ultrasound monitoring and guidance, radiofrequency has been added to the ASC Medicare List for 2014 with $4671 as the average Medicare payment. If the in-house billing department is not abreast with the coding updates, it will lead to claim denials and disruptions in cash flow. Ob / Gyn specialists will need to invest sufficient time in documentation because incomplete information will lead to lost revenue. What kind of Billing Team do you Need? Ob / Gyn practices require a medical billing team that works closely with the providers, ensuring error-free claim submissions and timely follow-ups with the insurance companies for reimbursements or accounts receivables. Considering the constant changes in terms of new procedures and technologies, the Ob / Gyn specialists require billers and coders who are familiar with the terminologies and the procedures used. Is your Billing Department Performing? It is necessary that the providers ask for insurance aging reports on a monthly basis from their billing department. These reports will help them understand how long the claims are taking to get paid. Just because a practice is getting paid regularly it doesn’t mean the billing department has managed to collect maximum payments.
