Frequently Asked Questions
Outsourcing your medical billing to a third party who specializes in billing is beneficial for a number of reasons beyond saving you time and money. Having a team of professionals at your disposal ensuring that the entire process from start to finish is done correctly is the most important thing you can do to protect your revenue cycle. Professionals like us, stay on top of the current complexities surrounding medical billing leaving you more time to operate your business.
Streamlined Process
Having an uninterrupted flow of professional billing services is an extremely important piece to the overall efficiency of your business. When poor billing practices start to define your business it will likely lead to the loss of patients/ clients as well as not allow your business to plan accordingly for your recurring overhead. Both of which can be catastrophic for a healthcare provider of any kind. The focus of a business owner in the healthcare industry should always be providing top notch patient care rather than worrying about when claims are being submitted and when you need to begin following up.
Revenue Enhancement
While you might initially think it is more cost effective to handle all of your billing in house, this very rarely ends up being the case. The main reason for this is that typically when billing is handled by anyone other than professionals mistakes are bound to regularly occur. A simple typo or wrong code can throw off your entire revenue cycle. In addition, timely submission of claims and utilizing the best practices will always lead to higher reimbursement rates.
Credentialing Process
The Affordable Care Act has substantially increased physician credentialing requirements for Medicare and Medicaid enrollment to reduce fraud and abuse. Now physician credentialing is required by the federal government, each state government, and each accreditation agency. Taking care of the hard work of insurance credentialing can be a laborious and lengthy process. If your staff isn’t up to the challenge or has limited experience, why not take advantage of a third-party medical billing firm, and outsource this work? AMS-Solutions is capable of providing what kind of details your staff will need to provide for verification as it negotiates this complicated task.
