Is Your Practice Ready to Outsource Plastic Surgery Billing?

Considering the high demands of running a medical practice or clinic, have you considered hiring a third party to handle the billing and collection of patient payments? It may come as a surprise to learn how many businesses, both big and small, are reaping the rewards of outsourcing. Services related to medical billing and coding can consume a sizable portion of one’s time. If you already have employees whose sole responsibility it is to handle billing and coding, they may be better put to use in other areas of the business. But in many places, employees are expected to juggle multiple tasks at once, such as dealing with patients, scheduling appointments, collecting payments, and managing patient charts. Growing practices often struggle to keep up with the demands for claims submissions without neglecting some of their responsibilities, and new practices often cannot afford to hire a dedicated staff. This is how even the best-managed practices face problems with denied payments, rejected claims, reduced compensation, and compliance oversight.

Medical Insurance Verification and More

You may be surprised to learn that the physician or practice manager retains or even increases their level of authority when outsourcing is used in a medical practice. The benefits of outsourcing medical billing services include lowered costs, improved compliance, and higher patient satisfaction. One of the best things about outsourcing is that it can help you save money. When you think about how much it costs to hire, train, and retrain billing staff, establish workspace, purchase computers and peripherals, provide human resources services, payroll taxes, benefits, insurance, and overhead, it can all add up quickly.

With outsourcing, you only pay for the claims that you submit and have processed, so you never have to worry about lost time due to absences, holidays, vacations, or coverage problems. To make certain that all of your claims are processed quickly and accurately, we have assembled a team of highly trained, certified, and experienced coders and claim processors. The costs saved by not having to recruit and train staff alone can be significant. By removing the need for in-house departments like accounting and human resources, as well as workstations, outsourcing can free up valuable square footage that can be put to better use elsewhere, such as in expanding services to patients or securing more supplies. When medical billing and coding services are outsourced, the physician or office manager can focus on running the business.

Help with Processing Insurance Claims

Therefore, outsourcing helps to improve cash flow and increase revenue, guaranteeing payment for your efforts.
