2With medical billing changing so fast, it has
become difficult for an independent practice or
even a single hospital to profitably manage the
task in-house. Since there is an overwhelming
number of tasks that medical practice managers
have to contend with, outsourcing of clinical and
administrative functions seems like an attractive
option to many.

4- Farming out functions like medical billing allows
practice staff and providers to focus on what
they do best while a dedicated team handles
their revenue cycle needs. But there are some
practitioners who dont think that outsourcing
decisions are a net gain for their practice. Here
are some of the misconceptions due to which they
fail to reap the benefits of outsourcing - Providers feel that if they hire a billing
company, they wont remain in control of their
revenue cycle. This misconception is quite common
because practitioners fear being at the mercy of
the billing company for timely payments. However,
this is far from the truth because partnering
with a reliable company puts providers in control
of their revenue cycle. The company works in the
best interest of the practice.
5- Another common misconception is that outsourcing
is expensive. When compared to managing an
in-house team of experienced billers and coders,
hiring a billing company is affordable for many
practices. As a matter of fact, outsourcing has
helped many practice save money. Maintaining
revenue can become a challenge if the in-house
team lacks skilled staff. By letting a reliable
third party handle this task, providers can be
assured of less coding errors and reduced chances
of claims denials, which ultimately leads to more
revenue. - Providers believe that if they hire a medical
billing company, they will have limited or
restricted access to reports and data. But this
is not true because every reputed billing company
shares reports with practices on a routine basis.
Transparency is maintained and providers are
informed everything related to their revenue
cycle through detailed reports and updates on
payment statuses. Since reputed billing companies
share information with practices through a secure
encrypted online system, no HIPAA policies are
violated.
6Irrespective of the option any practice chooses,
it is necessary to understand that revenue cycle
management isnt just the billing companys
responsibility. Providers need to manage
third-party billing service with the same
diligence they would with in-house billing team.
They also need to ensure effective communication
between their front-desk, physicians and the
billing team.
