A Medicare study of a subset of bariatric surgery procedure codes, with payments of $1.3 million dollars, found that 98 percent were improperly paid due to insufficient documentation to support the procedures. As we emphasize in our coding and documentation consulting practices , strict compliance with payor coverage guidelines (both Medicare and private) is critical, particularly in those clinical areas where detailed written coverage policies exist, as they do in bariatric surgery. Pre-authorization of coverage does not negate a payor requesting detailed records and taking back some or all of your reimbursement, even from several years past!

If there’s one lesson to be learned, it’s this: practices need to be more proactive about collecting patient payments. The days of billing insurance payers and patients and expecting payment to come in are over. Medical practices must upgrade their approach to billing if they are to thrive today and in the future. The good news is that this doesn’t mean a lot more work on your end. Simply upgrading your systems to offer the payment solutions patients want will do most of the ...work for you. Payment plans and automated payments in particular are game changers for your practice because they keep a consistent flow of income coming your way and increase the likelihood that patients will pay in full.
