Bringing Dermatology Billing Solutions To You

Medical bills can sometimes be confusing and overwhelming, leaving patients surprised and anxious about unexpected expenses. As a healthcare provider you need to keep your patients well-informed about their insurance coverage and potential costs of the services that are not covered. However, these coverages keep changing. You can’t spend countless hours figuring out reimbursement rules, and keep up with the ever-changing regulatory landscape. That’s where our exceptional dermatology billing services come in. Our coding experts go above and beyond to ensure every claim is meticulously analyzed, accurately coded, and optimally submitted.

Varying Insurance Coverage

More than perhaps any other specialization, dermatology includes numerous different treatments and procedures. Dermatology services are covered differently by each payer depending on what is and is not covered by their policies. This affects the physician’s bottom line as they may not get paid for their rendered services. However, when experienced dermatology medical billing and coding specialists manage the process, they know what to look for to send accurate claims to payers and get you paid on time. Our dermatology medical billing company understands the complexity of the requirements and properly codes each procedure so that the covered procedures are clearly documented.

Challenges in Dermatology Medical Billing and Coding

Medical coding and billing is a challenge for any practice, but it can be even worse for dermatology. The following have been identified as some of the more frequently occurring issues.

Cosmetic vs. Medically Necessary Procedures

Because dermatologists treat so many conditions that may or may not be “medically necessary,” depending on the severity, additional conditions and other factors, the coding details make the difference in whether a claim is accepted or denied. Again, coders need specialized training to be aware of how to correctly identify each diagnosis and procedure and use the appropriate coding modifiers. Medical billing for dermatology is one of our specialties and our team is kept up to date on the latest coding changes. Contact us to find out how we can get you maximum reimbursements.

Procedure Bundling

Bundling charges for treatments that are performed together simplifies coding in many cases, but billers and coders must be familiar with what is included in bundles and be careful not to bill for anything that is not included, which would be a violation of over-coding regulations. Our medical billing company has the experience to get claims filed correctly and avoid over- and under-coding.
