Why should Otolaryngology billing be outsourced?
Otolaryngology, being the specialty that is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with multiple locations ear, nose, throat, and head and neck, requires physicians to be thorough in an exhaustive list of investigative and treatment procedures that apply to ear, nose, throat, and head and neck regions.
Adding to this imposing requirement, there are as many CPT codes that physicians should remember and aptly apply while submitting their medical claims with insurance carriers. With the ensuing ICD-10 system and HIPAA 5010 Version, the compliance coding and medical reporting is going to be much more demanding.
Relieving them off cumbersome task of medical billing, our Otolaryngology Billing Services have been crucial to a majority of physicians’ focus on their core-function of medical services, and operating efficiency and revenue maximization through delay-free and denial-free medical bill reimbursement.
Otolaryngology practices lose significant revenue through undercoded surgical procedures, missed bilateral modifier applications, and incorrectly billed in-office ancillary services that payers routinely bundle or deny without pushback.
MBC's Revenue Diagnostic evaluates your otolaryngology billing at the procedure and payer level — identifying where surgical complexity is being downcoded, which sinus, laryngology, and head and neck procedure claims are being denied and why, and how your AR aging compares against specialty benchmarks. The output is a clear, actionable breakdown of the revenue your otolaryngology practice is currently leaving uncollected.
