Specialized Asthma Billing Services That Power Your Practice’s Growth
Our specialized asthma billing services handle the complexities of coding, claims, and compliance, ensuring your practice's financial health and allowing you to focus on exceptional patient care.
The Crucial Role of Specialized Billing Services
Asthma management is a critical aspect of healthcare, and accurate, efficient billing is essential for the financial health of practices providing these vital services. Asthma billing can be complex, involving various diagnostic tests, treatment plans, medication management, and follow-up care. To navigate this intricate landscape, many healthcare providers turn to specialized asthma billing services.
What are Asthma Billing Services?
Asthma billing services encompass the entire revenue cycle management (RCM) process specifically tailored for medical practices that diagnose and treat asthma. This includes, but is not limited to:
Ensuring accurate patient information and verifying insurance coverage upfront to prevent future denials.
Translating asthma diagnoses, procedures, and services into standardized medical codes (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) for insurance claims. This requires a deep understanding of asthma-related codes, including those for diagnostic tests like spirometry, FeNO testing, allergy testing, as well as treatment modalities like nebulizer treatments, inhaler training, and biologics administration.
Electronically submitting clean claims to insurance companies promptly and accurately.
Recording payments received from insurance companies and patients.
Investigating denied claims, identifying the root cause, correcting errors, and submitting appeals to recover lost revenue.
Proactively pursuing outstanding payments from insurance companies and patients.
