How to navigate your Neurology billing efficiently

The healthcare industry has been facing numerous challenges in recent years.  And one of the most pressing issues is inaccurate billing and under coding which is potentially harming many providers today. In fact, the common reason for all these problems starts with 

Incorrect Modifier Usage - Modifiers are essential for accurate billing for neurology services, as they provide additional information about a procedure or service used in the treatment. However, incorrect or missing modifiers can not only lead to claim denials but also underpayments, or even audits. This issue is particularly prevalent in neurology billing due to the specialized nature of the services and the numerous modifiers that must be applied correctly. 

Challenges with Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems - While EHR systems have streamlined many aspects of healthcare, EHR systems contribute majorly to numerous billing and coding issues like - incorrect or incomplete information leading to claim denials.  

Payer Policy Changes - Insurance companies frequently update their policies, which can significantly impact neurology billing and coding. This is because these changes may affect coverage, reimbursement rates, and prior authorization requirements. Thus keeping up with these policy changes is crucial for neurology practices to maintain a healthy revenue cycle and in order to avoid claim denials and low reimbursements. 

unawareness of ICD-10-CM and CPT Codes -  it is no secret that the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are constantly evolving and creating confusion among many. This is why it is essential to adapt the recent changes in order to maintain accurate billing and neurology coding process.  

However, staying up-to-date on these modifications can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, potentially detracting from a practice's focus on patient care and thus many neurologists today prefer alternative and convenient solutions managing all these troubles.
