Medcare MSO’s Prostheses Billing Services
Medcare MSO’s certified billing staff includes team members experienced in the intricacies of prosthetic medical billing
Prostheses Care is Complex For Several Reasons
The complexities of medical billing don’t stop at services. Prostheses, orthotics, and durable medical equipment (DME) all have to be coded and submitted in a claim before insurers or government payers will cover any of the costs. Every payer has different prostheses billing guidelines & rules about what is covered and under what circumstances, making it very difficult for medical office staff to keep up with all the details.
Outsourcing Medical Billing And Coding
Outsourcing medical billing and coding to a professional revenue cycle management (RCM) company like Medcare MSO has proven to be a stress-free solution that increases our clients’ income. Our billers are certified and experienced in dealing with prostheses, and all our staff are also trained in HIPPA compliance, so you don’t have to worry about patient data being secure.
Why Prostheses Medical Billing Should Be Outsourced
Even a practice that performs routine exams and treatments benefits from having their billing managed by dedicated professionals, but for something as involved as prostheses, which may even be customized for each patient, medical billing requires experience and expertise to get it right. And because each item can be a high-dollar claim, it is important that coding be right, or significant amounts of revenue can be lost. These are a few additional aspects of prosthetics that make coding and billing complex:
Fitting And Adjustment Appointments
The coding for fitting and adjusting prostheses includes the office visit, so billers must be aware that they may not also use the code for a visit in the claim.
Overlapping Codes
There is some overlap between the codes for providing and adjusting prostheses and time spent by a skilled clinician training the user. Anyone billing for prosthetics must know how to properly identify and code for each instance and know how to use modifiers to indicate reduced services so that there is no duplicate payment. Failure to do so can result in over-coding, and ultimately in fraud charges against the physician.
Uncoded Products
Not all prosthetic devices have been submitted for product review, so they do not have their own codes. Medical coders and billers must know how to find the correct codes to use in these cases. Tracking down information can be time consuming, leading labor costs to exceed the value of the claim.
