Pharmacy is an integral part of healthcare, and, just like other disciplines of healthcare, it also poses certain billing challenges that may often be difficult to manage internally. Moreover, because certain drugs are excluded from insurance coverage and only a few injections and adjuvant therapies allowed, it may require experts to judge the efficacy either including or excluding the drugs during billing.
To complicate matters further, pharmacy related reimbursements require multiple levels of data handling and follow-ups as in most cases. Although it is a separate set of medical service and provided from a separate facility, claims are prepared and submitted together by hospitals or nursing homes either because they come later in the care chain or because it forms a small part of the care services hospitals provide. This joint-claim preparation and submission leads to greater potential for inaccurate Data handling and denied claims.
And, even though pharmacy claims are distinct from hospital claims, they are still subject to the same HIPAA rules which may be difficult to cope with during times of resubmission for being non-compliant with privacy or security norms.
These inherent challenges require a series of admin and data related activities, starting from verification, through claim preparation to submission, to be handled with accuracy.
