Billing companies that work dermatology claims every day and take on practices in Minneapolis, MN. Describe your practice once and compare their proposals.
A few questions about the practice, then billing companies that fit send proposals. You are not committing to anything.
Hand off all of it or just the parts that are breaking. Say which in the form so the proposals match.
Charges entered, claims checked against payer edits, and sent daily so clean claims go out the first time.
Every denial worked, appealed, or corrected, with the root cause tracked so the same denial stops repeating.
Old balances called on and worked by payer and by age until they are paid, adjusted, or written off on purpose.
Certified coders assign CPT, ICD-10, and modifiers from your notes, or audit the codes your providers pick.
New providers enrolled with payers, CAQH kept current, and revalidations handled before they lapse.
Statements, online payment, payment plans, and the phone calls that come with them, handled in your name.
Eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and old AR cleanup go through the same request. If you only need one piece, say so.
There is no right answer for every practice. The usual tradeoffs:
Dermatology is one of the few specialties where physician-owned groups still hold their ground against the Minneapolis systems. Several large independent groups and many small ones keep going on procedure revenue. Mohs surgery, skin cancer treatment and biologic prescribing for psoriasis and eczema make up much of the income. The billing system must keep pace, because a large group generates thousands of claims a month, each with modifier decisions.
Plans in the market scrutinize E/M visits billed with minor procedures and the frequency of skin checks. Biologic drug approvals are a time sink: each patient needs a prior authorization, a renewal and often an appeal. If your practice employs someone to do nothing but chase these, ask whether a biller can take over, or whether the work is better done close to the clinic. It is a judgment call. Many groups keep authorizations in house and outsource claims. Either way, someone has to own the renewal calendar.
