Podiatry Billing and Coding Challenges

We completely understand that dealing with the complexities of podiatry billing and coding can be a major frustration for healthcare providers. However, with Ensure MBS, you can say goodbye to the time consuming paperwork and complex requirements of payers. We are skilled at identifying errors in podiatry billing and coding, and we can help simplify the process for you.
Coding fails to distinguish between medically necessary and routine procedures
Payers typically do not cover routine foot care. However, in the field of podiatry, the same condition may require necessary medical treatment for one person while not being a concern for another. This is one of the reasons why it is essential to outsource podiatry medical billing services from a professional company with relevant experience. We offer accurate medical billing services for podiatrists, ensuring that they receive maximum reimbursements.
Payers are using modifiers inconsistently
Modifiers are additional codes that provide further details about a diagnosis or treatment, and they often determine whether it is covered by insurance or not. In podiatry billing and coding, different insurers have varying rules for modifiers, making it crucial for coders to be aware of what each company uses to determine what is covered. It’d be important that submitting accurate codes is getting timely payment, and our professional podiatry coders can help you with that. Our medical billing services aim to improve practice management, allowing you to focus on optimizing patient care.
Insurers Making Unfair Bundling Decisions
Payers often prefer to combine multiple medical procedures into a single coded item to simplify billing and payment processes. However, this approach can sometimes lead to inaccurate billing, under-coding, or over-coding. For podiatry medical billing companies, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of the procedures being performed, so that they can identify and correct any incorrect bundles. They should also be knowledgeable about the correct method of data entry and how to handle appeals when the insurer’s inappropriate requirements result in non-payment.
Changes in location can impact your billing
Performing podiatric procedures in different facilities such as offices, hospitals, and nursing homes can complicate the billing process. Each payer has distinct billing guidelines for each facility, and it is essential to use consistent modifiers to indicate where the procedure was performed. If the modifier is incorrect or inconsistent, the claim may be denied. Moreover, an incorrect code in the patient’s chart may need clarification about the location of the procedure, leading to a rejection of the claim until all the details are rectified.
