A Key ABC Difference Pain management billing requires a specialized knowledge of the business. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services identified pain management as one of their key target areas for 2002. We at Anesthesia Business Consultants believe that providing quality billing services goes hand-in-hand with ensuring that all aspects of the billing and collection activities of the practice are analyzed and kept in compliance with all regulations and guidelines. Anesthesia Business Consultants' pain management program begins with a review of your pain center to identify improvement opportunities. This analysis includes all aspects of the billing process, including physician education on proper documentation, suggestions on coding and the design of your superbill and other billing forms, and a review of your current third-party payer contracts and your office financial policies relating to collection of copays and coinsurance. ABC's pain management team includes experienced health professionals who specialize in pain management. Our coders are certified by the Academy of Procedural Coders. They review both Evaluation & Management and procedural documentation to validate coding prior to submission of the claims to avoid improper billing. We provide feedback to the physicians on an ongoing basis about their documentation and how it may be improved. We dedicate account representatives to work with your pain center to maximize reimbursement and maintain compliance. Our quality control department oversees the quality of the work performed by our account team. They work with the account representatives to achieve the highest level of performance, thereby ensuring that your billing is being done accurately. Each team member is aware of all aspects of your account and strives to collect the maximum reimbursement for you. They follow up with third-party payers and patients to ensure that account balances are collected. They file appeals and constantly remind the insurance companies about overdue claims. You are provided with monthly management reports to analyze the results of your team's efforts. ABC focuses on a partnership with our clients and their long-term success. We make a significant investment in both time and resources to ensure that our clients realize both maximized reimbursement and compliance with regulatory changes.
