Internal Medicine Billing Services & Revenue Cycle Management

An internal medicine billing practice often includes general and family medicine patients, so it can have one of the highest numbers of different patients coming through its doors in any given week. This means there may be any number of reasons patients come in, resulting in billing and coding issues arising constantly. While there may be few complicated procedures performed in the office, there will certainly be minor procedures and prescriptions in addition to the wide array of diagnoses that must be coded.
