Common Challenges in Dermatology Medical Billing
Accurate dermatology billing is important for receiving timely reimbursements. However, many dermatology practices fail to achieve it. Complex dermatology coding requirements due to annual updates and various procedures combined with varying insurance policies and regulations often result in billing errors, leading to payment delays and rejections.
Dermatologists don’t have the time to update their pool of billing knowledge and often rely on support staff for their administrative tasks. However, inexperienced staff can also make common mistakes, such as poor documentation or submitting claims without appropriate modifiers. Want to improve your billing practices? The first step is to understand the common dermatology billing challenges.
Coding Confusion & Frequent Updates
As a specialized field, dermatology covers a wide range of skin treatments, including medical, surgical, and cosmetic procedures. Each of these services has corresponding codes. Additionally, the AMA frequently updates the code sets for this specialty, making the coding process more difficult for dermatologists.
Unbundling the Bundled Services
Several dermatology treatments include multiple procedures during the same visit. Hence, they are often bundled in one claim and are represented by a single code. Many dermatologists are unaware of this and face claim denials for billing these services separately.
Missing Pre-Authorizations
Dermatologists treat several patients each day. Certain treatments, particularly those involving cosmetic procedures and high-cost medications, require prior approval from insurance providers. Failing to obtain these pre-authorizations can result in claim denials.
Frequent Denials & Rejections
Dermatology practices face high numbers of denied and rejected claims due to varying insurance rules and different coverage requirements. Inadequate documentation is another common barrier to claim approvals. Unfortunately, many dermatologists lose significant revenue by not addressing these claim denials.
Outsource Dermatology Billing Services to MediBillMD
Dermatology billing is not as straightforward as other specialties. In addition to seeing and treating multiple patients daily, dermatologists barely have the time to update their billing knowledge. As a result, they encounter a high volume of denied claims and payment disputes due to coding errors, bundling mistakes, missing modifiers, and miscommunication.
