One of the toughest decisions for physicians to make nowadays is whether to perform medical billing activities with in-house technicians or outsource to third party medical billing companies. In-house billing is said to affect them in more ways than one. It would often lead to trouble as the staffs need to be trained on the regular updates in U.S. healthcare regulations and this increases the overall expenditures and leads to a reduction in profit. On the contrary, outsourcing is filled with advantages that would help to grow their business.
The major benefits due to medical billing outsourcing would be increased revenue and more time for patient care. Physicians wouldn’t have to break their heads regarding claim submissions and reimbursements. Outsourcing companies have a dedicated team of specialists who work with the medical practitioners to handle their complete revenue cycle management. They work to make sure that claims are reimbursed with short turnaround times. All coding procedures would be done based on latest medical updates. These firms would keep their staffs constantly updated with every change.
Incorrect Patient Health Information (PHI) has been proved to be the top cause for claim rejects. To avoid such rejections, few companies even provide training to the in-house staffs on proper collection of patient data.
