Medical Billing for Allergy and Immunology
Medical billing is hard in any discipline, but allergy and immunology billing must deal with specific elements that are more intricate than most specialties. As a result, outsourcing billing and coding to revenue cycle management (RCM) specialists has become a popular solution. Many doctors have left private practice because billing paperwork became such a strain that staying in business became impractical. Medical Coder provides the needed assistance while increasing revenue for our clients.
Why Outsource Immunology Billing?
Doctors and medical staff are more successful and happier when they are not required to file claims or deal with denials. It is far preferable to let them focus on patient care while leaving billing and coding to a company like Medical Coder.
Rising Prices and Lower Reimbursement
Payers have reduced reimbursement amounts in immunology and allergy, while physicians face rising costs for supplies and medications. Because of low profit margins, every service must be reimbursed, which requires error-free claims.
Various Insurer Coverage
Each insurer has different policies, and Medicare operates under a different set of rules than private insurers. Reimbursement differs for allergy testing and shots, as well as build-up and maintenance doses, so billers must understand the distinction and code for each correctly.
Treatment and Follow-up Take Time
Immunology and allergy treatments frequently require follow-up visits on the same day, which must be carefully coded with modifiers, or the insurer may treat it as a duplicate bill. Treatments such as rush immunotherapy and drug desensitization may be billed hourly — only expert billers are likely to document this exception correctly.
