Medical billing is complex in general, and rheumatology practices don’t have it any easier than other fields. Outsourcing revenue cycle management (RCM), including rheumatology medical billing and coding has proven to be beneficial for increasing both income and physician job satisfaction.
Getting paid for services rendered is what makes a medical practice sustainable. That requires submitting claims that are correct and on time, with all the necessary information included. Even something like a misspelled name will cause a denial, and any unexpected and unexplained item will get the whole claim rejected. Under-coding and overcoding are not only issues that result in over and under-payment but are also illegal and have resulted in rheumatology billings clinics being charged with fraud.

Unlike injuries or acute diseases with medicinal cures, rheumatologists treat many conditions that are chronic. Billing for chronic care involves a complex system of coding that varies not only by what is being treated but by the frequency of appointments and the number of chronic conditions the patient has. Billers must be aware of all these details to ensure the correct coding is used or claims will be rejected.
All fields of medicine benefit from being relieved of the work involved in medical billing and coding and rheumatology is no exception. Here are a few aspects of the field that make billing for rheumatology complicated.
Rheumatologists may have patients of any age, but rheumatism and arthritis become much more common in old age. Since most seniors have Medicare, which is extremely picky about how claims are filed, and the government program negotiates the lowest possible rates, it is especially important to receive payment for every service that is delivered. That means coders and billers must be experienced and efficiently get every claim correctly submitted and quickly deal with any rejections and denials.
