One of the heftier problems we see in our medical auditing practice is the disconnect between what happens at the patient encounter and what is ultimately billed to the insurance company. Overcoding, undercoding, missed billings, incorrect billings, overpayments, audits, make it stop!!!
We have seen it all, from mom and pop size chiropractic clinics passed down from father to son, where mom is still employed to do all of the coding and billing, to midsize integrative practices that have all coding and billing sourced out, to large urgent care establishments that use a little bit of everything, having coders in-house, providers choosing partial codes, and billers completing the set on the back end. Even we attempted to do our own billing back in the day when we had our primary care practice. It wasn't until we ventured into the world of medical auditing as professionals that we realized how much money we had actually left on the table and that billing was truly it's own artform.
No matter the size or type of healthcare establishment you run, it is critical to have a well rounded billing team, who can look at a superbill from all angles, and know it’s clean and payable. This means finding and working with individuals who can not only bill your claims, but also code those services, and if necessary, perform on the spot audits for accuracy.
Luckily for us, and you, we have formed a relationship with just such a company and wanted to share their information with you here. Midwest Billing Solutions, LLC was jointly founded in 2020, by 2 wonderfully talented women with a combined 17 years of industry knowledge and experience. Stevy Barrett and Brandi Schaich are both AAPC certified professional billers and coders. Midwest Billing Solutions serves practices of all modalities, big or small, both locally, and across the country. They specialize in AR clean-up, with realistic turnaround times, and also have experience across a variety of billing software platforms, such as Epic, Advanced MD, and EClinicalWorks. Stevy has
had the added experience of working closely with our team here at Medicorp, learning audit practices and procedures, and is pursuing the Certified Professional Medical Auditor certification next year.
They have competitive pricing packages, which include locked prices for a full year for new clients. They have also provided a special 2-year price lock for any of our clients that end up switching over to their services. They also offer free, no risk or obligation consultations to discuss their services in more detail.
Regardless of your situation, make sure whoever is handling your billing is equipped with the skills needed to get you all the money you deserve. It can be a challenge to find individuals, much less a team who can boast experience handling claims from start to finish. If you find yourself in the market for a new billing team, I have attached the Midwest Billing Solutions flyer for your convenience.
