“As much as its popularity amongst larger population of patients, Alternative Therapy may well

judging by its popularity, it may well become an integral part of comprehensive medical services

Many a times, proven medical treatment or intervention may not be able to ensure the requisite
relief to patients. Especially, when it comes to clinical management of chronic ailments, proven
medical procedures or therapies have been found wanting in as far as providing cure or relieving
symptoms associated chronic medical conditions. As medical researchers try to seek answers to
these elusive questions, parallel medicine has slowly been evolving as an alternative option –
acupuncture, guided imagery, chiropractic, yoga, hypnosis, biofeedback, aromatherapy, relaxation,
herbal remedies, massage, and many others forming the composition of Alternative Therapy. More
than a curative option in chronic disease management, Alternative Therapy is increasingly being
used a proactive method for augmenting mental and physical well-being.
But, despite the enormous opportunities, both practice-wise as well as revenue-wise, medical
practitioners and hospitals, in particular, have not been that inclined to adopt alternative therapies
as part of their comprehensive healthcare service offer. While there could many reasons for the
continued apprehension, the likely increase in workload and billing complexities associated with
such appreciation in volume may well have been the prime reasons behind the reluctance. But, as
the health radical healthcare reforms – Medicare cuts, Accountable Care Organization (ACO)
concept, mandatory EHR compliance, and the ensuing ICD-10 and HIPAA 5010 – begin to impact on
hospitals’ revenue generation, they will have to off-set the effect through alternative opportunities,
such as Alternative Therapy.
As much as its popularity amongst larger population of patients, Alternative Therapy may well
become a viable alternative in ensuring hospitals’ uninterrupted sustenance and growth. And,
judging by its popularity, it may well become an integral part of comprehensive medical services
offer by majority of hospital. As far as the complexities of voluminous medical billing, coding, claim
submission, and realization are concerned, hospital can easily look to avail the services of competent
and credible medical billing service providers, who along with the routine billing services, are willing
to offer expertise in EHR implementation, denial management, and Revenue Cycle Management.
Consequent to such combination of integrated medical billing management, hospitals can easily
dispel the apprehensions associated with adopting Alternative Therapy as a viable option along with
the regular medical service offers.
