Pain Management Medical Billing

Pain management specialists deal with patients who are suffering, and they know how important treatment is—but payers are often extremely critical of billing for pain treatment when the cause isn’t something that shows up on an x-ray or has a disease diagnosis. Recent regulations have increased scrutiny of medications used for pain and the penalties for misuse to the extent that many doctors refuse to practice pain management.

With these inherent hurdles to deal with, it becomes even more important that practitioners aren’t burdened by Pain Management billing issues. Across all fields of medicine, institutions are cutting costs and payers are looking for ways to reduce what they pay, including being very particular about billing and coding errors, which result in claims being rejected or denied.

Rejection or denial of claims for the tiniest errors is common. Every letter must match the patient record exactly, and payers do not even try to determine what was meant if something seems amiss. The pain management billing RCM process relates to every aspect of patient care from patient intake information to payment collection, so there are innumerable errors that can be made in entering just the right information.

Many pain management practices manage claim denials by a very laborious manual process done by in-house staff. This results in slow claim submission and increased labor costs. Outsourcing pain management billing services to a team of specialists can significantly improve claim denial resolutions, case mix performance and the time claims are in accounts receivable.
