With 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Irrespective 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.
