Fee-for-Value or Pay-for-performance billing models are making waves in healthcare industry and care providers are finding it increasingly difficult to adapt to the changes brought on by them. Most importantly, this change in billing model is accentuating pressure on current workforce and healthcare attrition has seen an all-time high over the past few years. Why fee-for-value model could be encouraging medical staff to leave jobs can be understood with following factors –
2013 brought new changes to orthopaedic billing and coding, making timely reimbursements even more daunting for physicians. At a time when reduction in fee schedules and Medicare cuts have affected the financial health of orthopaedic practices, preparation for ICD-10, compliance to new technology and dealing with varied payer mix has increased billing challenges for them
From a long period of time, the healthcare industry has followed the traditional model of payment for claims settlement – fee-for-service model – where specified amount has to be paid for the healthcare service. Recently, the health insurance companies are adopting to new payment models, and they have actively begun considering and testing the new payment options.
The document discusses recent changes to orthopedic billing codes that have increased the complexity of orthopedic billing and coding. Over 500 Category I CPT codes were changed, added, or deleted for 2013, impacting orthopedic reimbursement. Additional changes like ICD-10 conversion will present initial challenges for small orthopedic practices. As a result, many orthopedic physicians are outsourcing their billing and coding to specialized medical billing companies that can efficiently manage the billing process and ensure practices are paid accurately and on time.
Tackling Reimbursement Challenges posed by Inpatient Coding with Professional...Medical Billers and Coders
Inpatient medical coding is more complicated than outpatient coding as it requires accounting for all aspects of a patient's hospital stay. Coders must review records, assign codes, and determine diagnoses for multiple overlapping medical situations during a patient's long hospital stay. This makes it challenging to identify accurate codes, leading to rejected claims. Additionally, inpatient treatment is often covered under bundled payment systems that further complicate the coding process. As a result, healthcare providers increasingly outsource inpatient billing and coding to experienced teams that can navigate these complex challenges through medical and coding knowledge, robust data management, and compliant software.
Delays in Filing & Un-Timely Follow-Ups can makes Cardiologists Life Miserable!Medical Billers and Coders
Cardiology has advanced so quickly that besides the E&M factor; it now also includes endovascular surgery, diagnostic testing, electrophysiology & interventional radiology making cardiology billing extremely complex.
Contrary to the notion that government’s move to digitize healthcare information would enable healthcare providers, doctors, and insurance companies comply more aptly with HIPAA’s guidelines for patients’ privacy and security, there has been an upsurge in HIPAA breaches with providers being reported for breaches of some kind or the other.
How ‘Malpractice Insurance’ Can Save You from Drowning Financially During Mal...Medical Billers and Coders
Malpractice insurance is important for physicians to protect themselves financially from lawsuits resulting from clinical errors. There are two main types of malpractice insurance: claims-made policies, which only cover incidents reported during the active policy period, and occurrence policies, which provide lifetime coverage but are more expensive. Physicians need to carefully choose the type of policy that best fits their practice setting and specialty based on cost, coverage duration, and state requirements to ensure adequate financial protection from potential malpractice claims.
Are Orthopedics Justified in Embracing HIPAA Compliant Orthopedic Billing to ...Medical Billers and Coders
Reimbursements have generally been tight recently for orthopedics – Medicare cuts, shrinking fee schedules, increased technology intervention in medical billing, and a multi-payer environment that is more vigilant than ever have really made it tough for orthopedics to realize their reimbursements to the maximum.
What Implication Will Reimbursement Cuts For 2013 Have on Radiology Collectio...Medical Billers and Coders
Radiology collections, which have been far from being impressive in the recent years, may further go down amidst a host of issues likely to surface throughout 2013. Significant of those issues is the reimbursement cuts, which is supposed to lead to a reduction of almost 19% in the collections of radiology practices.
The world’s largest economy has had to weather one of the worst recessions in the recent times. Not too long ago U.S. GDP hit the rock-bottom (at -8.9 in the middle of 2009). While it has slowly been coming out of the depths, the growth is not enough to bring down unemployment rate, which is hovering around 7.9% as of October.

While payers (whether Medicare, Medicaid or private health insurance companies) are justified in denying claims with inherent errors, it is physicians who are responsible for not pursuing with resubmission and intensified efforts. This is where Denial Management becomes significant.
While the recent one year extension (from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014) in deadline by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may somewhat have eased the pressure, yet the anxiety still persists among the majority of medical practices in the US. The “anxiety” is about the impact of ICD-10 transition on their practices’ clinical, operational, and financial efficiency. Nearly 90% of the total practitioners harbor this fear.

Physicians are facing reimbursement cuts and economic uncertainty. Medical billing services can help manage denials and delays, which cause lost revenue. They ensure accurate and timely billing using coding specialists, HIPAA-compliant processes, and AR teams. This reduces costs for physicians by up to 40% while strengthening their financial position. Outsourcing to companies like Medicalbillersandcoders.com gives doctors a safe way to focus on patient care rather than billing issues.

Doctors contemplate opting out due to continued medicare hassles

Doctors contemplate opting out due to continued
Medicare hassles
Physician participating in the Medicare program are scheduled to face a 27.4% cut in their
payments, effective 1st January, 2012, and with providers anyway complaining about current
reimbursement rates, the cut is likely to considerably impact both patients as well as doctors
adversely. As a result of the cut the Medicare physician conversion factor will decrease to
$24.67, approximately $15 less than it was in 2001. In this scenario, the Association of
American Physicians and Surgeons reports that various physicians are declining to take on new
Medicare patients and many are thinking about cancelling enrollment from the program.
Medicare hassles:
Since the past 10 years physicians and Congress have been grappling with similar situations;
however the difference which is pushing doctors to consider opting out is the severity of the cut
and the escalating costs of a permanent solution, and few can continue to operate in an
environment where revenues are cut by 27% while costs continue to rise at a rate of 3% or
higher. An internal medicine physician in New London whose approximately 80% patients are
covered by Medicare, with this cut is likely to lose about one-third of his revenues, possibly
forcing him to restructure his entire practice.
Another issue that has created problems for Medicare beneficiaries and their medical providers
for years is the sluggishness of the claims process and the payment process. Medicare doctors
in three western states – California, Hawaii and Nevada, are in a situation where Medicare’s
payment backlog has created a multimillion dollar problem. Various doctors have not been
paid since February, a backlog of almost 10 months, forcing some doctors to have to drop
some or all of their Medicare patients while others are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy or
have already done so.
Physicians’ current & upcoming scenario:
President of the New London County Medical Society said that the prolonged uncertainty about
Medicare reimbursement rates has motivated some doctors to take an early retirement. A
survey by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) indicates that by 2025 there
will not be enough primary care physicians. Additionally, this cut comes at a time when
physicians face potential penalties associated with HIPAA 5010 , electronic prescribing, ICD-10,
2. PQRS and electronic health records which are difficult to adhere to in a time of dramatically
falling revenue.
However, even though physicians are pushed to consider other options, in the next 20 years
senior citizens requiring Medicare will rise, and doctors who can sustain the current pressures
and adapt to the reforms have a vast potential for growth. The physicians need to face this
challenge of payment cuts by making their system more efficient; reduce their extra
administrative burdens and revamp their revenue cycle giving them a competitive edge.
Medicalbillersandcoders.com can optimize physicians’ billing process and reimbursement cycle,
which will help doctors maintain their revenues as they tackle Medicare issues.
