How can a Billing Partner help solve your
Billing challenges?
If your practice is facing medical billing challenges, your chances of getting paid
will reduce considerably. Healthcare reforms have increased workload for
physicians and it has become difficult to get paid on time as billing and coding
requirements keep changing
In case a lot of time is being spent on handling billing challenges, your staff will
have less time to prepare and adapt to new changes in medical insurance billing.

Industry Facts :
 Medical practices fail to collect approximately 10-15% of their revenue
 Practices with a strong billing team are reported to be in less debt (at least
$6,900 to $14,000) compared to other practices
 According to the AMA, resubmitted, denied, underpaid claims can cost a
medical practice as much as $100,000 per month
Common medical billing challenges faced by practices:
Not collecting full co-pays : This is the most common challenge because if
physicians fail to get the full amount upfront, it will become difficult to get rest of
the patient's portion of the bill

Failing to auto-check insurance coverage: Many practices don't perform an auto-
check of insurance coverage electronically. Since patients are not always aware
about their insurance coverage, failing to auto check leads to billing issues and
revenue losses
Not updating to billing and coding reforms: This is the third and most common
challenge that causes billing issues. Codes keep getting updated or rewritten-
offering higher payment at times. However, if your billing department is not
updated with the latest changes, it will become difficult to perform error-free
billing
