TAKING EXTERNAL HELP IN MEDICAL BILLING
PHYSICIAN BILLING COMPANY

Being a doctor is a big responsibility. You not only have to treat you patients but also have to look after billing and collections. If you are running a private clinic, that most doctors prefer nowadays, you have to juggle with handling appointments, taking insurance claims and refunds by patients, handle queries and maintain a record for billings and collections besides doing your job as a doctor.

This all can get pretty tricky and exhausting for almost anyone. Instead of spending time among insurance claims and bills, hiring a Physician billing company is the best bet. There are various processes which are involved in medical billing. Those are as follows:

Patient Check-in

This includes the pre-registration and filling on personal details by the patient. Information regarding his name, address, purpose of visit and medical history documents are recorded which are later sent to the physician. All this information is used to set up a file for the patient that also includes his insurance information and policy number if any. 

Financial Responsibility

After completing the necessary procedure of taking patient’s information, it is checked that who will be paying for the medical services provided for the patient. If the patient has health insurance, same is checked from the insurance company.

Patient Check-Out and Billing

Once the patient has received his treatment from their physician, all his services and treatment expenses are recorded in the patient’s medical file and handed over to the clinic’s office so they can make an accurate final bill and handover it to the insurance company or to the patient. But before they hand out the final bill to the patient or to the insurance, the clinic must follow the procedures of Health insurance department and other medical authorities to put coding in every billing to maintain a record. So in this way, clinics or healthcare centers can avail the amount from the insurance agencies and patients can claim the amount by using these coded bills that are also present in the insurance system.

For all this pressure, hiring a Physician Billing Company is the best choice for all your medical solutions. MLBILLING is one such billing company that handles end to end billing, coding, collections and claims services on behalf of the clinic.
