What is Home Health in Medical Billing?

Just like any other medical facility, a home health care provider needs to keep track of different factors for medical billing, beginning with a patient’s diagnosis and ending with receiving payment for services rendered. This crucial process requires a firm understanding of medical terminology and health coding system, and accurate billing and fast collections are powerful tools for ensuring a practice’s long-term financial health. Medical billing outsourcing, therefore, can help maintain maximum accuracy from data entry to submission for faster payments and fewer claim denials.

Home Health Billing vs Hospice Billing

Home health and hospice are two options for home health care but provide different types of care. Despite this fact, both home health and hospice care are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and some private insurance plans for eligible patients. All patient care will have its appropriate claim type and billing codes to aid in the reimbursement process. To view a home health billing guide, please visit hca.wa.gov.

How to Tell Your Home Health Practice Needs to Outsource Your Medical Billing

Not only can outsourcing provide you with top-notch services and more time to focus on your core competencies, but you also get to address important issues that may be hindering your success. Specifically, these are some of the signs to look out for indicating that you may need to hire a medical billing company:

• Administrative Overtime – Billing and coding tasks create a burden as they fall on the shoulders of inexperienced administrative staff or even physicians. This can come at the expense of patient care. Ideally, there should be a dedicated staff to manage day-to-day administrative, operational, and billing needs.
• Poor Cash Flow – Many practices face diminishing revenues and the two main reasons for it are decreased or delayed payments from insurance firms, and coding and billing errors. 
• Inefficient Workflow – Too many hands in the pot create a workflow mess. When there is no clear delegation of tasks, work can overlap and get duplicated. And when staff members have other duties apart from billing, billing can get pushed to the backburner as they will handle more pressing tasks or the primary duties they were initially hired to do. In effect, claims don’t get filed or they get rushed, leading to mistakes and inefficiencies that impact the entire practice.
• Regulatory Issues – Your overstretched staff fails to comply with mandatory acts and new regulations due to an excessive workload, resulting in denied claims.
• Compromised Quality of Patient Care – Maintaining a good standard of patient care and handling medical billing can be very time-consuming. If physicians and the entire staff have too many hats to wear and more tasks than they can reasonably complete, this may take away valuable time for delivering quality patient care.
