Medical Billing Services
Support with preparing, submitting and following up on claims, so your billing routine stays organised.
Specialty
Orthopedics
Administrative support for orthopedic practices, including authorization tracking, documentation and claims follow-up.
Overview
The business side of Orthopedics
Orthopedic practices often manage authorizations, procedure scheduling and supporting documents that must be in order before a claim is submitted. When those items are tracked in separate places, it is easy for one to be missed until a claim is held up.
We support the administrative side by keeping those items in one view. For each scheduled service, your team can see whether coverage has been checked, whether authorization is needed and where the request stands.
Where administrative support applies
- Tracking authorization requests ahead of scheduled procedures
- Checking that supporting documentation is on file before claims are submitted
- Claim submission, follow-up and denial review
- Accounts receivable follow-up on older or larger balances
- Reports on open authorizations and claims for the practice manager
How we work with your team
We begin by learning how procedures are scheduled, who requests authorizations and where supporting documents are kept. From there we agree a shared list of open items and the points at which the schedulers, clinicians and billing staff are each informed.
This is business support for the practice. We do not provide medical care and we do not take part in clinical decisions.
