Even though the competitive bidding under
Medicare and other regulations are making DME sales challenging, the demand for
DME continues to grow every year.DME providers need to understand the industry
really well, particularly around billing and reimbursements. For instance, if
they have submitted the claim and it gets denied, they will lose out on that
revenue because the product has already been given to the customer.
Even though denials can be appealed, the
process will extend the time to get paid and also requires time and money to
accomplish. The DME market in the US is growing and it is expected to reach
$60.2 billion by 2020.
Considering the complexities, many DME providers choose to partner
with a billing company in order to get paid on time. If you also wish to
outsource this task to a third party, then here are seven tips on how to
partner with the right company:
1.
Make sure that the shortlisted billing company
has a strong reputation in the market. Markets flooded with companies run by
deceptive people, so you need to invest time into evaluating the billing
partner by looking for reviews.
2.
Experience matters, so choose a billing
company that has been into this industry for long. Years into business are an
indication that they have been keeping their clients satisfied.
3.
Make sure the company has a team of certified
billers and coders who have excellent knowledge of ICD-10 and who stay updated with the latest industry
changes.
4.
Not to forget, the company needs to have
extensive experience in DME billing. This is important because billing for DME
is quite different from other specialties.
5.
It is
important to ensure that the billing company you are hiring is responsive. Look
for speed and availability and make sure that they respond to concerns
quickly.
6.
Check with them if they offer flexible payment
options. Also, the vendor should apprise you with timely reminders.
7.
Last but not the least, the billing company
needs to be HIPAA compliant. This will give you peace of mind and you will be
assured that the company won’t put your business or its reputation in jeopardy.
Besides these factors, you need to make sure
that the billing company has a strong reputation of meeting deadlines. The team
should be using the latest technology and also be offering effective denial
management services.
