Outsourcing Your Chiropractic Medical Billing

Outsourcing Your Chiropractic Medical Billing

Chiropractic offices are often overlooked in the medical billing community. Your chiropractic practice can benefit just as much from outsourcing your medical billing as any other type of practice.

There are nuances in the chiropractic industry that can make or break your medical billing claims being reimbursed. One of the biggest things that gets your chiropractic medical billing claims denied is lack of good documentation. Make sure you have good back up documentation before you file. Take the extra effort to be certain you have the right paperwork and coding before the claim is filed. Also, make sure the CPT codes haven’t changed otherwise, you run the risk of having your claim denied or rejected.

Sound like a lot to keep up with? This is why outsourcing your chiropractic medical billing is a good idea. If your practice is already busy, you aren’t planning on downsizing anytime soon and therefore, your practice is going to get even busier. Your medical billing partner has the know-how to make sure the proper documentation is with your medical billing, the coding will always be up to date and current, thereby eliminating one huge reason for denied and partially paid medical billing claims.

In addition, where it can take up to 90 days for your medical billing claims to be paid, when you outsource your chiropractice medical billing, your claims will average about 14 days until reimbursement. When you see how much faster your revenue flow is beginning to happen when you outsource, you will truly wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!
