Expert medical billing is essential to run a successful medical practice, as it ensures that the providers get paid accurately and timely for the services they deliver. Medical billing involves submitting claims to insurance companies, verifying eligibility and benefits, following up on denials and rejections, collecting copays and deductibles, and maintaining compliance with coding and documentation standards. A good medical biller can help a practice increase its revenue, reduce its expenses, and avoid legal issues.
However, medical billing can also be very complicated and time-consuming, as it requires specialized knowledge, skills, and software. Many medical practices struggle with medical billing, as they face challenges such as high staff turnover, lack of training, errors and inefficiencies, outdated systems, and changing regulations. These challenges can lead to delayed or denied claims, lower reimbursement rates, higher operational costs, and dissatisfied patients.

To illustrate the benefits of expert medical billing, let us look at some examples of how Reliant Physicians has helped medical practices improve their billing performance. In one case, we helped a dermatology group increase their monthly collections by 35%, reduce their accounts receivable days by 50%, and lower their denial rate by 15%. We achieved this by auditing their existing billing processes, identifying and resolving errors and inefficiencies, implementing quality control measures, and providing ongoing feedback and education.
