Physician Office Partners, Inc. Billing Services

Comprehensive Anesthesia Billing Services

We provide a complete medical billing solution for your anesthesia practice. Although all facets are important to the process, we feel the items below are some of our strengths. As a billing client all of these services are included in your rate. You will not be charged separately for any of these services.

Charge Entry

As the first step in the billing process, charge entry is one of the most important steps in getting your claim paid in a timely and accurate manner. We review every charge entry batch before it is released for accuracy and compliance with local coverage decisions that may restrict payment.

Collections

Getting around insurance carriers' stall tactics is imperative in todays environment and follow up is essential. Our Account Representatives work diligently following up on your claims by phone, not by simply re-billing a claim to the carrier. All accounts are touched 30 days, if not before.

Exception Reporting

Getting a claim paid is just part of the battle. Our billing software allows our payment professionals to load multiple contract rate schedules, specific to your group. With this reporting capability, we are able to appeal all claims not paid correctly per your contract, ensuring you receive all the dollars you deserve.

Customized Reporting

We provide a package of standard monthly reports covering the essential information required to manage your practice. We can also provide custom reports of critical information as it is required. Whether analyzing payments within a special service set or examining physician productivity, the information you need and want is available in our stored database and is accessible for reporting requirements.

Medical Coding Services

Our staff includes certified professional coders. Accuracy is further ensured by our automated software that checks carrier edits. We can provide CPT, ASA, and ICD-9 coding for your anesthesia charts. Our staff regularly attends seminars and classes to continue their education and certifications. Coding can be provided as an outsourced service, or on a staff relief basis.

Physician Credentialing Services

We provide complete physician credentialing solutions for our clients. Enrolling new physicians or just keeping up privileges can be time consuming and challenging. We organize and keep track of each physician as well as each managed care contract to ensure up to date reimbursement. We will also renegotiate these contracts.

Managed Care Contracts

In todays environment of Medicare reductions and other payors not paying for services rendered it is imperative that contracts are continually reviewed and renegotiated to make sure your group is getting the maximum dollar for it's serviced, We bring a team approach and help educate you on the game of negotiations. We can handle all the paperwork necessary to establish the credentialing as well as provide you with a matrix so that you always know where you stand with each payer.

Strategic Planning

With years of experience in anesthesia and pain management billing and operations, we can work with your practice in expanding their business effectively. We believe in working together with you to create answers to any situation that will maximize your profits. Sometimes groups just need someone outside their practice and armed with the understanding of reimbursement to help them think through opportunities. We pride ourselves in educating physicians and helping them fully understand the impact of their decisions as it relates to the financial health of their practice.

Compliance

In today's environment, the only way to stay on top of your practice is through active compliance. We work with providers in communicating the rules, reviewing documentation, and notifying you of any problems. We review each employee monthly and each client annually. All of our processes are HIPAA compliant. Proactive equals Protective. We believe that all good businesses must have ongoing compliance programs in order to succeed.
