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. Even though the
competitive bidding under Medicare and other regulations are making DME sales
challenging, the demand for DME continues to grow every year.
If you also wish to outsource billing task to a third party, then here
are seven tips on how to partner with the right company:
1. 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.
2. Make sure that the shortlisted billing company
has a strong reputation in the market. Market is flooded with companies run by
deceptive people, so you need to invest time into evaluating billing partner by
looking for reviews.
3. Experience matters, so choose a billing
company that has been into this industry for long. Year into business is an
indication that they have been keeping their clients satisfied.
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. Check with them if they offer flexible payment
options. Also, the vendor should apprise you with timely reminders.
6. 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.
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.
