An In-Depth Overview Of ASC Billing Services 

• ASC billing is not the same as traditional
  physician billing or facility billing. In
  contrast to physician medical billing, which
  needs to adhere to a few highly specialized rules
  to be reimbursed, ASC coding and billing are not
  focused on a specific medical specialty. As ASCs
  combine every medical specialty in one location,
  the coding system does not revolve around certain
  types of treatments, procedures, or diagnoses.
• This does not imply that being an ASC biller
  necessitates knowing a totally new set of codes
  or billing procedures. ASC billing follows all of
  the same codes, billing process, and billing and
  coding criteria as the rest of the medical
  sector. Lets have a look at some of the rules
  of ASC billing and coding services

• Guidelines for ASC Charges Billing Coding
• An Ambulatory Surgery Centre uses a combination
  of physician and clinical or hospital billing by
  utilizing the CPT and HCPCS level codes (as do
  most physicians). In fact, some insurance
  companies allow an ASC to bill using ICD-10
  procedure codes, just like any hospital.
  Currently, Medicare requires all ASC charges to
  be submitted electronically via the CMS-1500
  form, while most other insurers use the UB92
  form.
• Points to Remember
• The ASC pays for device-intensive processes, such
  as pacemaker insertion, but not as a separate
  line item.
• The cost of the device would be included in the
  procedure code and submitted as a single line
  item by the centre.
• Most ASCs are not allowed to base their prices on
  the allowed code on the Medicare Physician Fee
  Schedule.

• Determination of Covered Procedures CMSs
  Regulations
• When dealing with Medicare, centers must remember
  that not all processes permitted in a hospital
  setting are allowed in an ASC setting. To be
  approved by Medicare, a procedure must
  demonstrate that it does not represent a
  significant safety risk or need an overnight stay
  following the surgery. If you are unsure, call
  Medicare.
• Common ASC Coding Errors
• First, ensure that the ASCs charges correspond
  to what was really performed in the form of
  services.
• One of the most prevalent coding errors is coding
  based on the headings of the procedure rather
  than the actual surgical report. Many ambulatory
  surgical centers and other freestanding
  outpatient clinics wisely wait for the whole
  surgeons report before billing for previously
  planned services, as the final report may contain
  fewer (or different) operations.

Benefits of Outsourcing ASC Billing Coding

• Though many freestanding surgery centres and
  similar facilities have their own in-house
  billing departments, more complex billing and
  reimbursement issues frequently necessitate the
  attention of skilled ASC billing specialists. In
  fact, understanding significant legislation
  changes to ASC billing standards can take time
  for your in-house billing team to comprehend and
  apply efficiently!
• Outsourcing and partnering with a reliable ASC
  billing and coding company is one of the quickest
  and easiest ways to automatically adopt new
  billing and coding guidelines. Such outsourcing
  will give your office personnel more time to
  focus on providing the best service and care
  possible. Instead of spending hours on the phone
  trying to collect unpaid bills, an outsourcing
  ASC billing company may focus on growing the
  practices patient base and improving its
  healthcare experience to keep the patients it
  already has.
