Neurologists and neurosurgeons are some of the most highly trained medical practitioners, so it is a real loss when they leave medicine because they are miserable from overwork and too much stress. It happens all too often, and one of the major causes is the load of paperwork that doctors are now saddled with.
Medcare MSO relieves doctors, including those in pain management, thoracic surgery, radiology, pathology, and other specialties, of a tremendous amount of administrative responsibility by taking over billing and revenue cycle management. We offer customizable services to allow you to decide exactly where you would like help.
It is rare for a patient’s medical journey to begin with neurosurgery. In most cases there will be many practitioners involved in diagnosis and treatment, in addition to the team performing surgery. There may be oncologists, neurologists, infectious disease specialists, etc., depending on the patient’s condition. Medical billers must understand who does what, and how billing is handled for each.
The idea behind global surgery packages is to simplify medical billing by eliminating the need to add a detailed code for each part of a surgery and any related care. However, not every surgery fits the package and billers must recognize anything that is not included and bill for it appropriately. This process usually includes modifiers to demonstrate medical necessity. A single surgery claim can be for a very large amount, so it is important that every single claim is properly reimbursed.
Surgery is complicated and requires the participation of many people who may be employed by different entities. It is easy to overlook the coding for services provided by one or more of them, which can result in large amounts of lost revenue. Over time, the cumulative effect can be significant enough to threaten the solvency of the practice. Our neurology billing and coding services include confirming that all services are correctly billed.
We offer a full suite of neurology practice management and RCM services. Medcare MSO offers a totally customizable suite of services, including payer credentialing, annual payer adjustments and pay back, compliance reviews, AR management (including old AR recovery) and much more. All our employees are trained in HIPAA best practices, so you never have to worry about patient privacy, and we have coders and billers who are both certified and experienced in neurosurgery and neurology billing services.
Additionally, thorough patient eligibility verification ensures accurate billing, minimizes claim denials and payment delays, and provides detailed coverage insights for patients.
