eClinicalWorks® based Billing Solutions Will Make Sure You Do Not Make Some Of The Common Mistakes

The responsibility of the medical biller is to make sure the provider will receive their reimbursements. Sometimes, ensuring this will happen will mean errors will be made. Sometimes the errors are made by the computers and sometimes the errors are made by the employees.

Medical billing is a process that involves a couple of important aspects, and they are finances and health. Since these are two of the most important factors, it is important to make as few mistakes as possible. Unfortunately, it is becoming a common theme to make medical billing errors.

The government is becoming more involved in the health care industry, but there is not a strong connection between some professionals in the medical field and the medical providers. This means there will typically be inadequate communication, and this means more mistakes will be made.

Here are some of the common medical billing mistakes that your medical practice should look out for:

Duplicate Charges

Sometimes patients are charged and billed multiple times for the same service or procedure. Sometimes the medical doctor and the doctor’s nurse can indicate that a particular treatment was given without knowing the other had already indicated this. The first day in the hospital typically costs more than other days in the hospital, and if the first day is billed to a patient more than once, a patient’s medical bill can be extremely high.

Not Enough Information

If the medical provider does not include enough information about a patient’s diagnosis, someone from the medical billing staff could write the wrong medical code in a patient’s file. A medical billing error can cause the patient’s insurance provider to deny their claim because there is not enough medical information. As a result, the patient will be charged directly by their health care provider.
