  field. The reason is that the ICD codes are
  complex. Moreover, the payers demands also
  change from time to time. Due to these reasons,
  it becomes inevitable that we have an effective
  Pain management collection system. This blog
  discusses in detail the ways you can improve Pain
  management collection.
• There are many techniques or methods to treat the
  pain of different parts of the body. As medical
  practitioners, doctors and nurses do their best
  to relieve the patient from their pain. This
  effort of pain relief is called Pain Management
  Practice.

  that can help Pain Management Practices to
  collect the money they deserve. This is where
  Pain Management Billing Companies come into play.

  billing. So let us understand how pain management

• Pain Management Coding is the description of pain
  a patient undergoes in the form of codes.

  338.3. There are a number of Pain Management
  Billing Companies in the USA that can help a
  practice to put the right codes. Moreover, these
  companies also lighten the burden of the current
  staff so that the medical practice can focus on
  increasing patient flow and serving the current
  ones.

  reject the claim. Therefore, if a medical
  practitioner wants the right amount for the

Accurate Information at Appointment The medical
staff should update the accurate information
about the patients pain at the time of
appointment and when the service is rendered. If
the documentation is up to the mark at the time
of appointment the dental practice wins half of
the battle in the race to get the right due for
service from the insurance company. Therefore it
becomes unavoidable to provide exact information
from the patients. The medical staff should take
care to document everything clearly and
transparently before they transfer it to the
coding department. Appoint Staff That
Understands Pain Codes The role of a Pain
Management Medical Billing Expert comes into play
in this step. The coder documents the condition
of the pain exactly as the medical team tells
him. This will help the insurance company in
reimbursement. Inaccurate or false coding will
lead to the cancellation of the
claim. Therefore, the medical practitioner
should appoint a staff that understands the codes
well. On the other hand, they can also outsource
the work to Pain Management Medical Billing
Services providers who can help with codes. There
are many pain management codes like 338.11 is the
code for acute pain due to trauma or 338.22 is
the code for chronic post-thoracotomy pain and so
each code will have its own claim money. In such
a situation the right Billing for Pain Management
Services is of paramount importance.

Update the Accurate Information After Service Is
Rendered There are a number of discrepancies in
the information which leads to denial. This in
turn leads to loss to either the practitioner or
out-of-pocket payment to the patient. Both cases
can cause tangible or intangible loss to the
company. An unhappy patient would think twice
before taking the service again. Secondly, it
will also affect the reputation of the practice
