Pain Management Billing and Coding Issues

Despite the fact that pain management specialists deal with patients who are suffering, and they understand the importance of treating them, payers are typically extremely critical of billing for pain treatment when the underlying cause cannot be verified by x-ray or diagnosed by a disease. Many physicians have refused to practice pain management as a result of recent regulations that have increased scrutiny of medications used for pain and penalties for misuse.

In light of these challenges, it becomes even more imperative that practitioners are not burdened by pain management billing issues. The medical community is experiencing cost reduction and payers are looking for ways to reduce their payments. This includes careful attention to billing and coding errors, which result in claims being rejected.

Claim Rejection and Denial Management

Claims are often rejected or denied due to the tiniest errors. Each letter must match the patient's record exactly. Payers will not even attempt to determine what is meant if there is a discrepancy between the two. In pain management billing and RCM, every aspect of patient care is accounted for, from patient intake information to payment collection. As a result, there is a great deal of room for error in entering the correct information.
