DME
providers have a team of expert billers who have a detailed understanding of
reimbursement guidelines specified by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial plans. It
is very important for DME providers to streamlined coding health Medical billing can be quite
labor-intensive and time consuming.
Here are some of the
challenges that DME providers face:
•
DME is considered therapeutic services.
•
Some DME services are unauthorized by
Medicaid, Medicare and private health insurance plans
•
There is lack of a strong founding in the
HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System), which represents Level II
codes that are assigned for DME supplies and gears
Another
very common challenge with DME services is related to
medical necessity. Doctors can prescribe DMEs as a part of their clinical
treatment process; however, they need to back it with a proposal along with
sufficient verification to prove their medical necessity.
If
there is lack of a strong grounding in the HCPCS, overseeing level II codes for
DME equipment and supplies, then it will lead to the doctors’ less than
impressive acknowledgement of DME bills.
Letting a reliable
billing company handle DME coding has its own benefits. Here are a few:
•
Outsourcing gives the provider access to a
team of highly trained and experienced billers and coders. This team is
well-versed in the latest regulations and requirements due to which DME revenue gets a boost.
•
Since a dedicated team handles
revenue-related tasks, labor costs get reduced to a great extent. There is no
need to hire in-house billers and coders and pay them salaries or employee
benefits. Even the cost incurred on infrastructure and technology gets
eliminated.
•
Outsourcing gives peace of mind and enough
free time to focus on other vital tasks. Providers don’t have to worry about
HIPAA compliance because a reliable company will ensure compliance in their
services. They will keep data confidential and not let any security breach
happen.
•
Providers don’t have to worry about
transparency in the billing procedure because a good billing company will
provide timely reports. The team will be able to explain statements in a better
manner along with handling complaints and addressing issues. This will help in
improving patient satisfaction to a great extent for the provider.
