Going by the recent statistical result 208 million visits to family physicians each year the relevance of family medicine to the U.S. health care system had never been more pronounced. Family Physicians delivering a range of acute, chronic and preventive medical care services have a patient base unmatched by any other medical specialty. Family Medicine enormous reach entails judicious billing and coding for optimum reimbursement of medical bills, absence of which will adversely impact physicians revenues and medical efficiency, and the healthcare system at large.
Fortunately, Family Physicians can fall back on qualified and experienced billers and coders – certified by AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders), well versed in ICD-9, CPT and HCPCS coding based on CMS and AMA guidelines, and HIPAA privacy compliance– to mitigate such an adverse scenario. Our billers and coders, who fit the bill, have been favorites of a majority of leading Family Physicians, clinics, diagnostic centers, and hospitals.
Family practice billing is among the most volume-intensive specialties in healthcare — with reimbursement tied directly to visit complexity, chronic care documentation, preventive service coding, and the accurate capture of comorbidities that must be reflected with precision on every encounter. MBC acts as your Revenue Integrity Partner by ensuring that every family practice service is coded to its highest defensible specificity, MIPS and Quality reporting requirements are met, and payer policies around chronic care management, annual wellness visits, and transitional care are applied correctly — so your practice retains every dollar it clinically justifies.
