Wide Range Of Services

Medical billing for ophthalmology, like that for any field of medicine, is complex. Not only are the codes complicated, requiring detailed knowledge of the practice in addition to understanding coding and billing, but they are changed every year. Additionally, insurers and government payers change their policies and plan frequently, and coverage rules may even vary according to the state you are in.

Busy Medical Staff To Keep Up

All this change makes it impossible for busy medical staff to keep up with the latest billing guidelines. Outsourcing to a professional medical billing company like The sure ways solutions has proven to be very successful for practices of all sizes. Because our ophthalmology medical billing services are not medical, but only focused on the revenue cycle management (RCM) aspect, we are able to stay up to date on billing and coding changes.

3 Reasons to Outsource Billing for Ophthalmology

Medical codes are complicated, and it is difficult for individual billers to stay abreast of all the changes. The sure ways solutions provides an innovative approach to billing and coding, with a staff that is not only certified but also experienced in ophthalmology insurance billing. Billing done in-house can be thrown completely off if one person becomes ill or is called away on an emergency, but our large staff has someone ready to step in if the regular person doing the billing is not available.

Detailed Modifiers

Ophthalmology billing modifiers must be used with basic medical billing codes to notate whether both eyes were affected, or if it was left or right. If a minor procedure is done on the same day as an office visit, there is a modifier needed. Billers and coders must also know how to code for multiple procedures in the same setting, etc.

Bundled codes

Charges for services are often bundled together, which simplifies coding, but it also requires medical billers and coders to be aware of what is in each bundle because sometimes the physician may determine that something additional is needed or substitution is required. Billers must know how to document additions and exceptions properly, or those services will be considered unnecessary and rejected by payers.
