How AI and HI Work Together in Medical Billing?

Medical billing is increasingly becoming a technology-enhanced field where AI (Artificial Intelligence) and HI (Human Intelligence) complement each other. MBC leverages both to optimize performance and decision-making across the billing cycle.

How We Use AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

  • AI-Powered Claim Scrubbing: Our system scans claims before submission for coding errors, missing data, and documentation issues.
  • Predictive Denial Analysis: AI analyzes historical trends to flag high-risk claims and recommend pre-emptive corrections.
  • Automated Payment Posting: RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tools automatically post payments from ERAs, reducing manual workload.
  • Real-Time Reporting Dashboards: AI-backed dashboards help providers dynamically track performance and financial metrics.

The Role of HI (Human Intelligence):

  • Clinical Judgment Coding: Certified coders apply Proper codes with contextual knowledge to complicated documentation.
  • Appeal and Denial Resolution: Experienced billing specialists create effective appeals and communicate with payers.
  • Audit and Compliance Oversight: Human review ensures ethical programming, CMS compliance, and HIPAA safeguarding of information.
  • Client Relationship Management: Experienced account managers know provider goals and adapt methodologies accordingly.

Why the Combination Works?

AI provides speed and automation, while HI guarantees precision, judgment, and compassion—particularly where critical thinking and payer-specific expertise are required. For MBC, this AI-HI combination enables us to enhance efficiency without sacrificing the integrity and personal touch that healthcare billing requires.

Specialties We Serve:

Billing must be tailored to every specialty's codes, payer regulations, and clinical workflows. At MBC, we pair billing professionals trained in your specialty, allowing for more precise claims and increased approval rates.

We Offer Specialty Billing for:

  1. Family Practice

Family medicine encompasses a broad range of care—preventive visits, chronic disease management, acute illness treatment, immunizations, and telehealth. With high volumes of patients and constant service variation, billing needs to be stable and flexible

  1. Dermatology

Dermatology billing has a combination of medical and cosmetic procedures. Every procedure—such as excisions, cryosurgery, or phototherapy—needs proper coding with modifiers to differentiate between diagnostic and elective care

  1. OB/GYN

Obstetrics and gynecology encompass extensive services like prenatal care, childbirth, treatment of infertility, and gynecologic surgeries. OB billing tends to need bundling numerous visits into a global package and reporting services for months.

  1. Optometry

Optometry billing demands attention to detail in separating routine vision care (usually billed to vision plans) from medical eye conditions (billed to health insurance). Coding must clearly state the purpose of the visit.

  1. Orthopaedics

Orthopedic billing includes fracture treatment, surgery, durable medical equipment such as braces and splints, and follow-up visits. Bundled payments and global periods create issues that must be managed to avoid lost revenue.

  1. Wound Care

Wound care clinicians treat chronic ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, and pressure injuries. Billing needs to account for wound size, depth, and treatment technique (e.g., debridement type or grafts), necessitating thorough documentation

  1. General Surgery

General surgeons perform a wide array of operations that may involve coordination with anesthesia and post-op management. Surgery packages must be coded to include pre-op and post-op services.

  1. Cardiology

Cardiology billing is complicated due to the many different diagnostic tests and interventional procedures. All services need documentation that supports their level of complexity and medical necessity.

  1. Radiology

Radiology billing covers both the technical component (imaging) and the professional component (interpretation). Both services have to be coded accurately depending on modality, the use of contrast, and whether they're an add-on in a bigger bundle of services.

  1. Mental Health & Psychiatry

Mental health practitioners must adhere to rigorous time-based billing, telehealth compliance, and behavioral health codes. Such services also tend to have various payer rules for therapy, medication management, and groups.

  1. Home Health

Home health agencies have particular requirements regarding documentation and billing, particularly when treating Medicare patients. Correct OASIS integration and adherence to CMS visit billing guidelines must be followed.

Compliance and Data Security

Each step in the billing process at MBC is regulated through strict compliance processes to protect patient data privacy and expose it to minimal audit risk.

Key Compliance Features:

  1. HIPAA-Compliant Operations

We train all our staff in HIPAA and perform regular updates. We audit work processes to ensure data privacy policy compliance in all departments.

  1. End-to-End Encryption

We protect data by storing it using AES-256 encryption and encrypting it when it is sent via SSL/TLS encryption.

  1. Role-Based Access Controls

Access to PHI is restricted by job function, and all is tracked and monitored for compliance.

  1. Regular Audits and Quality Assurance

Our QA staff conducts ongoing internal audits for billing accuracy, coding compliance, and documentation criteria.

  1. Audit Support

We support RAC audits, payer audits, and Medicare probes by preparing reports and handling responses effectively.
