Why New Jersey Physicians Choose to Outsource Medical Billing?
New Jersey is one of the highest paying states for the IT sector of healthcare industry in the US, and
medical record jobs too. However, many practices choose to outsource their billing requirements as
they cannot afford to hire skilled coders and billers at an attractive pay package.
Cost of hiring skilled professional and efficiency of carrying out the entire billing process are two
major factors due to which practices in New Jersey prefer to outsource. Hiring a medical billing
company is more affordable compared to maintaining an in-house billing department. It gives the
providers more time to focus on performing the core clinical tasks and other related issues.
Outsourcing is extremely beneficial for small practices because it enables them to tackle the monetary
constraints more effectively and deal with shortage of skilled resources. Healthcare reforms have
increased the billing and coding complexities. In order to get paid on time, practices need billers with
the much needed expertise. Due to the lack of resources, employees at small practices are forced to
balance between billing, patient care and other clerical duties. This creates room for billing errors and
affects the revenue cycle in the long run.
Medical billing outsourcing can increase the revenue of a practice from 5% to 30%
According to the AMA, medical practices spend as much as $100,000 per month on underpaid,
denied and resubmitted claims
Practices can save around $17 billion annually by eliminating medical claims errors
Mistakes can be found in every five to ten percent of submitted claims
Common Billing Challenges Faced by New Jersey Physicians
Practices face difficulties in collecting full co-pays upfront which affects their revenue cycle
Staff is not updated with the latest billing and coding reforms due to which error-free claim
filing becomes difficult
Many practices fail to perform an auto-check of insurance coverage electronically. This leads to
medical billing issues and revenue losses, because patients are not always fully aware of their
insurance coverage
Hiring and retaining skilled billing staff is also a common challenge faced by many New Jersey
practices
