What Is Medical Billing?
Medical billing is the practice of communicating with the insurance companies and patients to reimburse the healthcare services provided by a physician and/or healthcare facility . Often coupled with medical coding, the medical billing process takes the coded documents and ensures they are accurate and compliant. This requires a thorough understanding of radiology services, documentation practices, and optimal procedure and diagnosis coding.
What Does a Medical Billing Company Do?
Medical billing management services are designed to help lessen the burden of insurance company and patient billing for radiology professional services.
- Creating & submitting claims: Using the information about the patient, their visit, and all medical goods and services, medical billing companies compile the information using special billing software. The correct medical codes are required since medical codes are the language used between healthcare providers and insurance companies, and an incorrect code can result in a denied claim. Claims are then submitted through electronic interfaces directly to insurance companies for their review and reimbursement.
- Resubmitting/appealing claims: In the event of a claim denial, the billing company is responsible for revising and resubmitting the claim and revising and resubmitting it. The billing company will also manage appeals due to a variety of denial reasons.
- Collecting payments: The medical billing company manages collections from the insurance companies and/or the patients who received services.
An effective medical billing company will provide monthly reports delivered through multiple mechanisms including a diverse data set.
