Medical billing is complex in general, and rheumatology practices don’t have it any easier than other fields. Outsourcing revenue cycle management (RCM), including rheumatology medical billing and coding has proven to be beneficial for increasing both income and physician job satisfaction.

The amount of paperwork required in medical practice now takes up to 25% of a doctor’s time, and for most of them, it is an unpleasant task and causes many to lose their desire to continue practicing. HIPAA is not a barrier to outsourcing because now there are professional rheumatology billing companies like The sure ways solutions who ensure that all employees are trained in privacy and security protocols to assure your patients, and your practice, are protected.

3 Reasons Rheumatology Practices Need Professional Billing Services

All fields of medicine benefit from being relieved of the work involved in medical billing and coding and rheumatology is no exception. Here are a few aspects of the field that make billing for rheumatology complicated.

A large Number Of Geriatric Patients

Rheumatologists may have patients of any age, but rheumatism and arthritis become much more common in old age. Since most seniors have Medicare, which is extremely picky about how claims are filed, and the government program negotiates the lowest possible rates, it is especially important to receive payment for every service that is delivered. That means coders and billers must be experienced and efficiently get every claim correctly submitted and quickly deal with any rejections and denials.

Detailed Coding Requirements

Many conditions diagnosed and treated by rheumatologists must be specified by the location in the body and which side of the body is involved. This level of detail can result in a lot of claims being rejected if coders and billers aren’t experienced in the field. It takes expertise to not only be able to note an error in what is present but also to recognize what isn’t present that should be.
