Documentation and medical billing tasks consume so much of a physician's time that they have become a major source of job dissatisfaction. Medical coding and billing are how the practice gets paid for services delivered, so they must be done as accurately as possible. Medical Coder provides full revenue cycle management — from obtaining payer authorization on the first patient contact to collecting patient balances — with a team of certified billers and coders experienced in renal and nephrology billing, resulting in fewer denials and rejections.
Why Specialists Should Handle Renal Billing
Code Bundles
Payers bundle included items into one billing code for surgery and complex treatments. There are frequently exceptions that must be coded separately and clearly, or the bill will be denied as a duplicate.
Higher-Level Diagnoses and Treatments
By the time a patient sees a nephrologist, they have likely seen a regular doctor and other specialists and may have a history of kidney disease, so examinations and treatments are higher-level and require more detailed coding. Experienced billers and coders are critical to ensure no revenue is lost to overlooked details.
Multiple Doctors Involved
Complex treatments require more than one physician and various support staff, who may be affiliated with different organizations. The coding must specify the facility used and the roles of the various doctors, or none of them will be compensated.
