Common Medical Billing Issues

Collecting Accounts Receivable

• Often, one of the most prominent issues with medical billing is attempting to collect accounts receivables. A dedicated, well-organized staff and physician often aren’t enough to follow through on all medical insurance billing, especially if there are a significant number of patients being treated on a regular basis.

Not Enough Time In The Day

• While office managers are highly effective at helping patients, organizing paperwork and addressing immediate billing inquiries, they often aren’t able to manage all of these tasks while also handling other medical billing issues. This often means that medical billing services such as posting credits and adjustments to patient ledgers, appealing denied claims and managing all accounts receivable impede on an individual’s ability to properly take care of patients when they are physically in the office.

Billing Is Often Left To One Individual

• When any office task is solely delegated to one individual, the potential for further medical billing issues is practically unavoidable. When an office manager is absent from the office, medical insurance billing comes to a halt, further compromising a practice’s ability to collect the money that they are owed for services rendered.
