OPHTHALMOLOGY BILLING SERVICES
MedExpress is committed to enhancing the efficiency of your RCM system like never before.
At MedExpress, our core commitment is to deliver exceptional and reliable medical billing services tailored specifically for ophthalmology. Our billing team consists of experienced ophthalmology professionals dedicated to ensuring prompt and optimal reimbursements for our clients.
Diverse Array of Services
Ophthalmology medical billing, akin to billing in any medical domain, is intricate. The complexity lies not only in the intricate codes, demanding a thorough understanding of the practice alongside coding and billing comprehension, but also in the annual changes to these codes. Moreover, insurers and government payers frequently modify their policies, and coverage regulations may differ based on the state.
Overburdened Medical Team Struggling to Keep Pace
The constant changes make it challenging for the busy medical staff to stay abreast of the latest billing guidelines. Outsourcing to a proficient medical billing company, such as MedExpress, has demonstrated significant success for practices of various sizes. Given that our ophthalmology medical billing services solely concentrate on revenue cycle management (RCM) and are not clinical, we can effectively stay updated on billing and coding changes.
Three Compelling Reasons to Delegate Ophthalmology Billing
MedExpress recognizes the complexity of medical codes, and staying updated on changes is challenging for individual billers. We offer an innovative approach to billing and coding at MedExpress, boasting a certified and experienced staff specializing in ophthalmology insurance billing. In-house billing processes can be disrupted if a staff member falls ill or faces an emergency, but our substantial team ensures seamless continuity, with a backup ready to step in when needed.
Specific Modifiers
Modifiers in ophthalmology billing are essential additions to basic medical billing codes, indicating whether both eyes were impacted or specifying left or right. The inclusion of a modifier is necessary when a minor procedure coincides with an office visit on the same day. Additionally, billers and coders must possess expertise in coding for multiple procedures performed in the same setting, among other considerations.
Grouped Codes
Frequently, charges for services are consolidated into bundles, streamlining coding. However, this necessitates medical billers and coders to have an understanding of the contents of each bundle, as physicians may occasionally deem additional items necessary or substitutions required. Proper documentation of additions and exceptions is crucial for billers, as failure to do so may lead to payers deeming the services as unnecessary, resulting in rejection.
Various Insurers and Payers
Ophthalmology services may be covered by insurance companies, as well as by Medicare/Medicaid; however, billers at MedExpress need to be vigilant about which entities to bill. Prior to submitting a bill to MedExpress, our billers ensure that no other insurance options are overlooked, including a spouse’s employer plan, Railroad Retirement, coverage from certain unions, VA benefits, and even the consideration of injuries covered by no-fault insurance.
