Orthopedics are a large focus within many health care institutions and having reliable orthopedic medical billing procedures is necessary for collecting payment. Having the right systems and working with the right administrators can improve your revenue cycle by ensuring error-free EMRs and faster approvals from insurers.
We understand that orthopedic practitioners – like most health care providers – find medical billing a tedious task that can take valuable time away from helping patients. Consider outsourcing these tasks to a professional billing service provider that stays updated on CPTs and ICD-10, knows insurer preferences, and integrates seamlessly into your system.
Orthopedic Billing & Coding Service
Orthopedics is a naturally broad practice area, which is a complexity that can lead to difficulties in correctly classifying conditions and treatment for medical billing. The practice involves all conditions, orthopedic surgeries, and medical services related to the musculoskeletal system (i.e., bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, etc.). A host of billing issues in orthopedics can lead to claim delays and denials such as:
- Incomplete entry of patient demographics
- Authorization errors
- Confusion with insurance preferences and deadlines
- Other errors that weaken revenue collection and cash flow
