Inhouse Medical Billing Vs Outsourcing

Inhouse Medical Billing Vs Outsourcing
Isn’t Medical billing one of the most time and effort consuming task, exhausting your resources, compelling you into performing frustrating tasks and diverting your attention from your main purpose i.e., patient’s wellbeing. More so because you need to focus on your practice, for smooth operations you need:
- An accountant taking care of your financials,
- A lawyer or team of lawyers keeping you up with the legal implications of the healthcare industry laws,
- An industrial expert keeping you up to date with all the ever-changing medical billing procedures,
- An IT technician keeping your infrastructure in topnotch working condition (laptops etc)
- An assistant entering all the patient’s data/demographics as well as updating and completing required incomplete insurance information, required to submit patients billables/claims,
- An expert who can communicate with the insurance and help you fix the denials and reduce AR days – on the same page with you regarding their requirements.
You get the idea? Think about the expenses this will incur on your practice. More so ever wondered why your denial rate doesn’t decrease or why a huge chunk of your revenue gets stuck and lost in the whole reimbursement process?

Fast Revenue Recovery:
On average, a dedicated billing company will send claims more thoroughly, reliably, and quickly than an in-house billing team. This means a higher percentage will be paid at a higher amount.
Easy and Efficient Recordkeeping:
Another significant and concrete benefit to outsourcing is the ease of record keeping and filing. Many practices experience difficulties when it comes to organizing all of their files, whether it is financial records or requisition forms. Throw more complex things like file digitization in, and you can start to have more serious problems.
Reduced Office Operational and Management Costs:
Another general benefit that can expect you when you outsource is that your office management becomes much easier. With outsourced medical billing, you reap the following benefits:
- Fewer people need to be accounted for
- Less payroll data has to be process
- Less space and technology has to be taken care of
- Few individual personalities need to be accounted for during interdepartmental proceedings
