Have you ever had a patient ask you this question: “What is a CPT code?”

If you have not heard anyone ask you this question yet, chances are you may find yourself hearing it at one point. This question may arise when your patients have an unexpected medical bill. Some of your patients will find out the hard way what a CPT code is. It is important that everyone understands what a CPT code is because this will save money on medical expenses.

Every diagnostic and medical service will have a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code assigned to it, and that code will be a 5-digit code. All of these codes are created and published by the American Medical Association, or the AMA. CPT codes have become part of the standards for physicians, billing coders, insurance companies, and the patients.

Here are a few reasons why using CPT codes are so instrumental in healthcare:

• CPT codes are used by the insurance companies to determine whether or not the service or procedure patients received is illness related.

• You can use the CPT codes to diagnose any billing errors that you may find in the records.

• Insurance companies use the codes to figure out the amount of money physicians will receive.

• Patients can use the CPT codes to see what procedure or service was requested by the physician.

When physicians orders work to be taken care of by someone else, they should consult with the others about what kind of work will need to be given. When there is no miscommunication and other errors, everyone will have a better understanding of the CPT codes and why those codes were used.

eClinicalWorks® support will provide you with assistance if you are having trouble dealing with CPT codes.

Placing your medical billing needs in someone else’s hands can be a great decision. Medical practices typically choose to outsource their billing needs when they do not have the necessary team of people, the required resources, or the proper finances that are needed to keep the medical billing in the practice.

There are many practices that want to either outsource their billing or they want to place their medical billing back in-house. If your practice wants to outsource your billing, eClinicalWorks® medical billing services could be the company you need to work with to help with your medical billing issues.

You do not have to hire a person to work day and night on your billing to ensure your practice will run the way it needs to. You can have a smooth-running practice by looking outside the walls of your practice. If you are not sure your practice needs additional billing help or if it needs to move the billing outside of your walls, here are some signs you may need to make that decision:

You Have Only One Person Working In Billing

If you have put all of your trust in one person, then you could be setting yourself for a major problem. You need to be cautious of this because your practice could be at risk for fraud, embezzlement, and other major issues. A large number of practices find themselves sitting in the center of employee theft and other crimes.

Filing claims are not easy tasks; they are complex and the requirements can be too difficult for one person to handle. Even if that one person is committed, dedicated, and motivated, it could still be too much to handle. If you are relying on person to handle all of those tasks, you could seriously cost your practice money and time.

Who Is Following Up On The Claims?

Sometimes employees in a practice will submit claims and then do nothing more about it. What happens if the claim was lost? What happens if someone needs additional information before they pay? The claims can be overlooked and they can go unpaid. Is there anyone on your staff who has the dedication and time to track all of those claims?

The time and effort it takes to remain current and efficient in billing can now be compared to hiring a professional to take care of your accounting needs. The decision you make for billing is a business decision, and you need to make the decision that will ensure your practice is profitable and stable.

If your practice is struggling to function, you have to consider everything that you could lose. Now may be a good time to think about the ways a trusted billing partner could make your practice better.

Many private medical practices use eClinicalWorks® for Electronic Medical Records (EMR). As an EMR vendor, they provide award-winning products and services. Unfortunately, advances in technology tend to increase the amount of tasks that need to be accomplished in a day. The costs of hiring more staff and purchasing new equipment, to stay current, in the technology-based world we live in, become prohibitive to keeping prices competitive. To keep the average practice running smoothly and expenditures low, most offices will outsource as many services as possible. This tends to lead to a need for eClinicalWorks® billing solutions.

There are a multitude of companies that will maintain your billing services; however, many charge fees that include licensing, hosting, maintenance, and much more. Then, they will charge you extra fees for providing phone service, untangling of backlogged accounts receivable, and control of the flow of faxes through your office. Several of these companies don’t actually have the capacity to offer some of these services to you, regardless of extra fees. As with most technological services available, part of the over all expense is tied to a lengthy contract.

At EMR Billing Solutions, we understand that as a small business your revenue is what keeps everything going. As specialists in eClinicalWorks® medical billing needs, we can solve all of your billing needs, including answering your patient’s billing questions, and clearing all your old accounts receivable, for one low fee and no demanding contract.

With different plans available, EMR Billing Solutions can ensure that your patient’s questions are answered by fully qualified HIPAA certified staff, as well as invoices sent and followed up with on time. Our experts can also organize your faxes so that each is filed and routed to the correct provider for review, immediately reducing clerical hours, and increasing patient care. Your time and resources are precious. Let us help you grow your business with as much care as you provide your patients.
