Streamline Healthcare Tasks with Customized Medical Billing System

Insurance companies have more complex systems and insurance editing processes today. For instance, we have seen some insurance companies split individual codes within a visit into two claims for a provider (two codes were in-network rules while one code was out-of-network rules). These complexities in the edit and rule process by insurance companies need the right level of system design and focus to manage the revenue cycle and achieve results for the Pediatric Practice. Here are some of the must-have features you should consider when evaluating Pediatric specialty billing and practice management companies.

1. Pediatric Specialty Billing: Pediatrics calls for a billing system that is designed per the specific needs of optimal revenue management of a pediatric practice.

The Pediatric Billing company should provide Pediatric Billing Benchmarks of how the practice is performing. An elite Pediatric billing service will provide monthly reports, an account manager and a telephone number for patients to call with questions.
4. Patient management: Patients have questions about their patient statement. An account manager for the practice can answer questions on the invoice, collect credit card payments from the patients and help optimize the total collection rate.
5. Electronic Remittance (ERA): The billing system should also be embedded with Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) which enhances management of insurance payment posting.
