Industry facts state Nearly 25-30% of all medical practice income is lost as a result of improper billing Approximately 59% of in-house billers do not receive EOBs Around 55% of in-house billers have never appealed a denied claim These days managing practice along with handling medical billing and coding has become very difficult. Medical practices are in the business of providing high quality medical services, and they are not supposed to be in the billing business. However, in current healthcare scenario, it is mandatory for the healthcare professionals to take care of both these aspects. Why small practices suffer while handling medical billing?

For each patients, the physician must ensure that the patient's data is entered correctly, their documentation, file claims, and other details are maintained accurately. Moreover the physician also has to respond to denials, chase down deductibles and overdue payments to reduce denials and increase the overall revenue. Naturally, it becomes quite a lot of work for a physician, and this makes considerable impact in their practice. As a result, the practice gets overwhelmed with the drudgery that keeps physicians away from what they do best, and they also have to suffer from financial losses.

What can practices do to improve medical billing?
All the medical billing services works on a basic principle ? the healthcare provider must get paid
by either the patient or by an insurance carrier. Medical billing and coding consumes a
considerable amount of time and resources which keeps the physicians away from their basic
responsibility ? providing services to their patients.
Of the many business questions small healthcare providers encounter, choosing between
outsourcing their medical billing services to third-party billing companies and maintaining an inhouse billing department is a significant one. Since profitability is something all providers aim
for, outsourcing medical billing services will outweigh in-house billing in most cases if the right
decision has to be made. If the practices start outsourcing their billing function to a specialist, it
could turn out to be much more profitable prospect. Third-party billing companies can take care
of all the medical billing and coding needs bundle everything into one comprehensive package
which would definitely help physicians manage their claims more effectively.
