When it comes to managing something as important as the insurance claims in your optometry practice, many people can be defensive of the process because it is tied directly to their revenue cycle. As a healthcare facility owner, it’s good to keep an eye on the processes that are making your practice earn money. However, being successful at managing your practice’s income-cycle and claim reimbursement in optometry is a full-time job in itself and requires a high level of knowledge to keep the cycle rolling along effectively.
If you or your billing department is feeling overwhelmed with the workload, or you think you aren’t managing your billing cycle to the highest potential, it might be time to consider an outside source to help relieve some of the claim filing burden, and get the income cycle spinning into your practice.
Why Outsource?
Firstly, let’s take a look at some of the common reasons why optometrists switch from in-house to an outsourced revenue cycle management service.
Lack of Claims Understanding
Insurance, as we all know, is a complicated topic, and changes are made time and again. It’s hard to keep up. In a busy optometry facility, it can be challenging to find the time to stay educated on the latest updates from the government and the payers.
Right Employees
If you lose the only biller in your facility and if it takes a few weeks to find a new one, your pending and current claims are going to suffer. Someone in your facility will have to find the time to pick up the slack and file those claims, and there is a good chance that whoever takes this one is going to struggle if it’s not in their forte.
Partial Capacity
Dozens of new claims come in every day, and denials and rejections flow into your claim cycle as well. Depending on the size of your practice, relying on one person to take on this entire job might be too big of a load to keep up with as you grow.
