  • Several different scenarios can require the DME
    billing services to be dealt with by an in house
    team or outsourced to a professional medical
    billing services company, and those reasons vary
    with each having its perks for different reasons.
  • A complicated procedure like DME billing (Durable
    medical equipment) will be very challenging for
    anyone unless they assign professional billers
    and coders to do it for them. There are several
    complications involved in the process of
    obtaining payments, from validation of the
    patients to getting authority beforehand, use
    correct forms to submit the claims, etc.
  • Apart from the other skills, it requires the
    person to have a profound understanding of the
    reimbursement protocols for all the services
    provided.
  • A skilled DME billing service company or in house
    team should be able to double-check on document
    collections, incomplete prescriptions,
    verification of insurance on rental items, handle
    real-time transaction audits, verify primary and
    secondary insurance, HIPAA compliance, etc.

  • Outsourcing or in house team?
  • If you run a small private clinic or are an
    independent physician, then customized
    outsourcing of the billing services is the ideal
    option to get the best possible option for you.
    However, if it's a large clinic or hospital, then
    it's essential to have an in-house team as it is
    crucial to keep it up to date regularly for a big
    institution.
  • By outsourcing the process, you make it easier on
    yourself in the long run as they are
    professionals who have teams with professional
    billers and coders who have detailed insight on
    the documentation requirements for DME.
  • They would also be able to provide consistent
    services in terms of quality regardless of the
    fluctuations happening in the industry regarding
    the changes in reimbursement regulations,
    documents, etc. and would assist with the
    complete reimbursement for the executive
    activities.

  • An in house team can be important for larger
    medical hospitals that have various departments
    of specialties and a substantial amount of
    complications regarding the DME billing processes
    because they don't have to pile up the work to
    get it outsourced and it can be completed then
    and there.
  • With an in house team, you'll be able to file the
    documentation quickly simultaneously without any
    delay or significant mistakes with the
    information as it's obtained directly from the
    source. It's easier to check up on incomplete
    prescriptions and bills if the team is in the
    hospital itself, and this way, it reduces the
    risk of any errors that would lead to denial of
    the claim.
  • However, to get the best possible results, you
    must make sure that you hire competent
    individuals who are experienced and can do the
    job correctly. Regardless of what option you
    choose, both those options should be able to
    track and follow up on the incorrect or partially
    correct payments, provide a highly error-free
    transaction, denial management, customized
    reporting, etc. So, in the end, it all depends on
    what is the most appropriate option for you and
    your practice.
