Medical Billing in North Carolina: In-House Vs. Outsourced Services
As a physician in North Carolina, chances are you know how difficult it is to code patient visits for Blue Cross Blue Shield reimbursements. The difficulty primarily lies in the fact that there are simply too many codes. And as if the overwhelming quantity is not enough, these were created in such a way that getting a single digit in a code incorrect may mean the difference between collecting reimbursement and not getting anything in return for the services you provided.
Having said that, one of the best things you can do for your practice is to hire people who actually studied medical coding and billing, and have been certified by the proper agencies to perform these tasks for you. But before you do, you need to first determine if you are going to hire in-house professionals or outsource these services to a medical coding and billing company. To help you make an informed decision, consider the pros and cons of each option in relation to the factors that need to be considered when hiring coding and billing experts.
Communication – Fast and efficient communication between health care providers such as yourself and medical coders is the key to achieving accurate forms that guarantee reimbursements from insurers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield. That said, in-house coders are a better option if you want efficiency in terms of correcting inaccuracies and going over claims details.
Cost – Taking advantage of the services of a medical coding and billing company is more expensive compared to hiring in-house medical coders in so far as the amount you need to shell out upfront is concerned. This is because when you outsource these services, you are paying outright for labor, training, and part of the company’s operational costs.
Training – Regardless of which option you choose, make sure that the medical coders you hire at the onset are qualified professionals who have undergone sufficient training. The difference between in-house and outsourced coders is that if you choose the former, you have to have a budget for continuing education and training, and you have to arrange these seminars yourself. With the latter, you only need to pay the company you hired – no need to worry about the training of the coders handling your business.
Confidentiality and Transparency – When it comes to this factor, in-house hiring of medical coders for Blue Cross Blue Shield is better because you do not have to worry about information leakage. However, if you choose to outsource, there is one thing you need to remember. Before you enter into a contract with a medical coding and billing services provider, make sure that there is a clause that guarantees the confidentiality of the information you pass on to them, and another that allows you to pull out and see documents related to your business.
