Ambulatory Surgery Centers

The complexity of billing for both inpatient and ambulatory surgery centers makes it difficult to ensure accuracy in the coding process. Don't lose revenue due to coding errors.

An ambulatory surgery center is also known as an outpatient procedure center. In an ambulatory surgery center, procedures are performed on patients and are completed the same day, to a point where the patient can leave the facility immediately following surgery.

Both hospital billing and billing for ambulatory surgery use CPT codes in order to bill the procedures correctly. ICD-10 codes can only be used in cases of inpatient procedures. Knowing the code and to what procedure the codes correspond allows for more extensive and specified billing services.

What are Your Common Issues?

(And How Our Medical Billing Service Can Solve Them)

1) STAFFING ISSUES

With surging COVID-19 infection rates and mandatory vaccinations on the rise, staffing issues present serious roadblocks for ambulatory surgery centers across the country. The challenges of the pandemic are already difficult enough without the added stress of maintaining a healthy administrative department. Outsourcing your medical billing department not only relieves this burden, it also ensures that collections aren’t slipping through the cracks. With decades of experience in the medical billing services industry, Coronis Health has top coders and billers that can take over your collections while you focus on your staff and patients.

2) YOU MIGHT BE LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE WITH IMPLANTS

Are you getting your cost back on implants? While implants are staple services at many ambulatory surgery centers, the implant reimbursements are notoriously slow, which can result in lost time and revenue. It’s difficult to know whether implants are profitable for your facility without running a comprehensive reimbursement analysis. Our trained medical billers are experts at implant reimbursement analysis. By running a detailed analysis, we can help determine whether outsourcing or eliminating implants at your ASC will improve your cash flow.

3) SLUGGISH CASH FLOW

Does your A/R keep growing? If so, you may not be coding and billing everything correctly at first, which extends the entire billing process. We have expert medical coders and billers who analyze each factor in the billing process, such as A/R collections, to help improve cash flow without putting additional work on your plate. Our goal is to help you work smarter, not harder.

4) INEFFICIENT REVENUE CYCLE MANAGEMENT

With continuous changes to RCM software, many ambulatory surgery centers are finding it difficult to navigate these platforms while maintaining the daily operations at their facilities. We understand these frustrations and make it a point to stay up to date on the latest changes in RCM software. Our medical billing service professionals know how to use the latest RCM platforms and can help you navigate any software for more efficient processes. Contact Coronis today to find out how we can address your specific concerns and help your administrative processes run smoothly.
