Why Internal Medicine Billing Requires Specialized Expertise?

Internal medicine billing is more than simply sending in claims. Small errors lead to many problems with compliance and slower payment, and claim denials for many providers. That’s why internal medicine practices need to have a billing partner like iFocusRCM. This involves in-depth charting, accurate coding, and adherence to changing payer requirements. A majority of providers have one or more of the following issues:

A large number of patients and a vast range of diseases
Many problems in chronic care management billing
Various tests and procedures
There are many changes to ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes.
Numerous payer-specific rules

Common Internal Medicine Billing Issues

Coding errors

Inaccurate coding, such as using the wrong ICD-10, CPT code or modifier, leads to claim denial, delayed reimbursement, or failure to comply. If a diagnosis is under coded, over coded or if notes are not detailed enough to justify the diagnosis then this will lead to a loss of reimbursement and administration overhead.

Claim denials

When a claim is rejected by an insurer, it is typically due to a claim error or incomplete form, which can cause a disruption in revenues and slow cash flow. This is due to a variety of factors such as no medical necessity, eligibility or coverage issues, prior authorization procedures, and duplicate claims.

AR delays

When the amount of money received from insurers isn't sufficient, within a specified timeframe, this is referred to as AR delays. Aging claims, lack of follow up, and slow claim processing time can impact your revenue cycle. If you don't handle your AR in a proper way, you may end up with unpaid accounts which will impact your cash flow.

Gaps in documentation

Inaccuracies in billing due to missing clinical data, or to a lack of detailed evidence of medical necessity, can affect the accuracy of billing, and can lead to denials. Lack of patient and physician information, or treatment or lack of supporting detail of the need for a medical intervention will likely result in claims being denied.

Compliance problems

Payer requirements, coding rules and federal policies change constantly and this often makes practice problems. We are constantly changing and if not managed properly, this may result in denied claims, reviews and financial penalties.

Complications insurance coverage

Claim rejections and delays can be caused by payment errors because of improper insurance verification. If coverage information is incorrect, if the policy and/or the benefits are not valid, or if billing is not correct, it makes it difficult to get paid. Appropriately confirming eligibility prior to the appointment can help practices avoid these challenges.
