Complications With Billing Plague Providers

The first step in medical billing is to get approval from the insurance company. This can be a difficult and time-consuming task, especially if the insurance company does not have all the information. Often, the provider must submit the same information multiple times before the insurance company will approve.

Errors that can prevent approval include:

• Incomplete or incorrect patient information
• Missing diagnosis codes
• Incorrect procedure codes
• Coding errors
• Incorrect provider information

If the insurance company does not approve the claim, they will not pay the provider. The invoice falls to the patient. This problem can cause financial hardship for patients, who may already struggle to pay for their medical care.

Individuals with outstanding balances are more likely to forgo future medical care, leading to severe health problems. Patients end up in the ER more often and rack up larger medical bills by avoiding preventative and maintenance care.

This problem puts providers in a difficult position. They want to provide the best care possible, but they also need to get paid for their services.

Patients Experience Billing Issues, Too

Even if the insurance company approves the claim, provider billing can still be problematic. Incomplete or incorrect invoices can cause payment delays. If the patient receives the bill, they may have difficulty understanding it, leading to confusion and frustration.

Automated systems often send out bills in error. These invoicing mistakes can happen if there are inaccuracies with the patient information. A single wrong code or similar data entry error can cause a denial of services.

Patient advocates can help patients understand and pay their bills. These experts are becoming more common in mid-to-large-sized companies as a benefit for employees. However, this service is not always available, and it's costly for the companies that provide it. Also, it leaves small businesses, which make up much of the healthcare industry, at a disadvantage.

Medical Billing Complexities and Errors Harm Care

Medical billing can be difficult and frustrating for providers and patients alike. Billing mistakes can delay payments, cause financial hardship for patients, and harm the provider-patient relationship.

It's not only a problem in the U.S. billing errors are a global issue. According to the World Health Organization, these errors also lead to a 7 percent waste of total global health expenditures, or nearly $500 billion!

These issues take away from the provider’s time caring for patients and the patient’s time that should focus on wellness.

When medical billing is efficient, it improves care for everyone.

Pharmacy Billing and Payment Problems

Medical billing issues go beyond healthcare providers and follow patients into the pharmacy.

Just as with provider billing, patients can have trouble getting their insurance to approve their claims. This can lead to delays in treatment. When patients experience denials for prescriptions, they either have a significant out-of-pocket expense or don't get the medication they need.

Like providers, pharmacies also have to deal with coding and other errors. These can cause payment delays or even lead to complete denials of claims.
