                               Advocating and Practicing Best Practices in Medical Billing

                For years, Medicalbillersandcoders.com has been synonymous with medical billing management –
                helping medical practitioners not only realize their medical reimbursements fully but also optimize
                their clinical and operational efficiency. While the medical billing complexities have consistently
                been escalating – owing to unprecedented increase in insured population and the risk associated
                with managing insurance reimbursements – we have been able to off-set its effect through
                consistently remodeling our medical billing Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) to the benchmarked
                industry standards. As a result, time and again, our ingenious medical billing processes have come to
                fore in mitigating adverse impact on our clients’ medical bill reimbursement, and ensuring optimal
                realization of reimbursements, clinical and operational efficiency.

                Here is a rundown of the “Best Practices in Medical Billing” that we have been advocating and
                practicing in ensuring optimal realization of reimbursements, clinical and operational efficiency, and
                compliant processing of medical claims as per the Federal Healthcare norms:

                     • Eligibility Verification or Pre-Screening is the foremost on list of Best Practices in Medical
                         Billing; the objective is to determine the patients’ eligibility for the insurance coverage for
                         which the medical intervention is sought. Further, it also ensures knowing in advance what is
                         covered or what in not before a patient is registered and admitted for clinical management.
                     •   Understanding Coverage: Understanding how the respective insurance carrier would
                         reimburse the eventual cost of medical services is as important as verifying the patient’s
                         eligibility for the insurance coverage for which the medical intervention is sought. As it is the
                         insurance company that ensures the reimbursement on behalf of the patient, there should be
                         clear communication and clearance from the respective insurance bearer.
                     •   Billing Competence: Often medical coding and claim submission can go wrong owing to
                         inherent errors while preparing medical bills for the medical services concerned. Therefore,
                         due vigil needs to exercised while preparing bills that form the basis for eventual coding and
                         claim submission.
                     •   Coding Compliance and Competence: As much as billing competence, coding too hold its
                         importance in flawless claim submission and realization. As the outcome of a medical bill
                         largely hinges on coding compliance and competence, medical bills should invariably
                         accompany ICD and HIPAA compliant coding procedure for medical procedures.
                     •   Electronic Claim Submission and Follow up: As the system of IT-enabled claim submission and
                         follow up becomes more common, medical claims submission need to be managed through
                         electronic medium for seamless and faster realization.
                     •   Managing the Revenue Cycle: As the incidence of claim submission become too voluminous,
                         your claims may take a little while for realization. But, as the sustenance and growth of your
                         practice largely hinges on your ability to minimize the Accountable Receivable days as less
                         possible, an effective and efficient Revenue Cycle Management becomes inevitable.
                         Medicalbillersandcoders.com’s (www.medicalbillersandcoders.com) ingenious and credible
                         RCM – comprising Adjudication, Follow Up, Re-submittals, Payments, Adjustments, Secondary
                         Claims, Denials and Appeals – invariably proves to be indispensable to successful Revenue
                         Cycle Management.
