Why An Orthopedic Practice Needs A Medical Billing Service

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - May 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Orthopedic Surgery, the branch of surgery that deals with musculoskeletal system, is a very broad service.  This encompasses any surgical or non surgical procedure in the fields of musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.  So this extrordinarily wide field requires a medical billing company that can keep up with the massive variety of codes and procedures in order to keep on top of the changes and ensure that physicians can bill and collect properly and efficiently.

More than 25% of medical claims billed for all specialties are rejected and at least 15% will never be resubmitted. For orthopedic surgery claims, more than 35% are adjudicated inaccurately by commercial insurers. With the vast amount of claims submitted annually, it's estimated that more than $65 billion in revenue remains uncollected by providers providing healthcare services.
