Gastroenterology Medical Billing

Generally, gastroenterologists divide their time between the office and the hospital – more than 50 hours per week – and they spend more than 10 hours each day on paperwork.

With our medical billing services, you will always be able to focus on patient-oriented services and maximize revenues. With our gastroenterology billing revenue cycle management, your practice will succeed with scalability and efficiency.

Challenges

Regardless of whether the gastroenterology practice is located in a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center, even simple procedures involve many components. It is imperative that all of these parts are represented in the codes that are submitted for billing, and any part that is missing or inconsistent will result in the claim being rejected.

Coding Issues

It is common for gastroenterologists to perform procedures at different facilities and with different teams. Billing codes for gastroenterology services should reflect both who was involved and what kind of facility was used, as well as what was performed. Physicians and attending medical professionals must be identified, but not necessarily separately, as some procedures are combined.

The issue of staff burnout

There is a great deal of detail involved, which contributes to physicians spending more and more time on paperwork and having less time and energy to provide patient care. As a result, almost all of the administrative work related to gastroenterology practice billing, Revenue Cycle Management services can be outsourced to medical billing companies like Wise Medical Billing, which specializes exclusively in this area.

Denials and Rejections

Even the slightest error or mismatch in information is enough to cause a payer to reject a claim. Moving from one location to another can make it difficult to ensure that the patient's chart is up-to-date, but any mismatch will result in a rejection. Medical professionals can focus on patient care by outsourcing the medical billing process to a dedicated team of certified specialists while the billers ensure the practice is paid for its services.
