OB GYN practices are comprised of gynaecologists and obstetricians and this creates room for unusual billing errors.
Underpayments are a major issue for OB GYN practices and the complications sometimes exceed the capacity of the billing software used by a medical practice. If your practice is facing the same issue then it is a critical failing because tackling underpayments can increase the collection of your OB GYN practice by 7-10%.
How can streamlining medical billing services reduce underpayment?
With rising costs and shrinking margins, it has become important for OB GYN practices to collect every dollar owed. Since the number of patients is rising, physicians are left with very less time to concentrate on ways to tackle underpayments. In such cases, hiring a billing partner seems to be a feasible option as they have a proficient team of coders and billers who are familiar with the terminologies and procedures used.
This eliminates the headache to hire or train billers who have the required skills for tackling complexities such as global billing, postpartum care billing, modifier usage, complicated surgeries billing and other new billing technologies. As a well-trained team will be focusing entirely on OB GYN billing, providers won’t have to worry about underpayment issues.
A billing partner will not just guide your practice through the processes of OB GYN medical billing but also handle tasks related to coding, follow-ups with insurance companies, adherence to HIPAA and other compliance.
