Remote Mental Health Billers

Mental health services are very hard to access in rural areas and those suffering from mental illnesses have to encounter unavailability and isolation from mental health services. This is due to the fact that almost 75% of the total population in rural counties lacks a psychiatry specialist and almost 95% do not have access to child psychiatry specialists. A crucial shortage of medical staff is being seen as a prime concern here. Due to its sparse population and low quality of care compared to those in the urban areas, it is difficult to attract mental health workers to these areas.

If the rural is hit with such a shortage of healthcare professionals then the availability of medical billers catering to mental health can be even tougher. Billers generally like to be available to doctors in their vicinity but to combat this shortage, nowadays mental health billers communicate with rural practices either by the usage of software provided by these physician offices or medical billing software of their own choice.
It turns out to be more efficient since it enables the provider to manage their practice which otherwise would not have been possible with their overworked staff. Smaller practices such as those in the rural areas are much benefited by these mental health billers since they offer a host of other services such as answering patient and carrier queries and insurance verification that makes your practice flow better.

These billers can help you not only with their software support but also help you improve your denial as well as your rejection ratios. Thus, you will be receiving reports on your clinical and billing information the way you want them to be provided to you and help you take better and informed decisions about the financial strength of your practice.

Remote mental health billers are able to file their claims electronically; the EOBs reaching the practitioners in the rural areas are also transferred to billers electronically. These medical billing specialists manage multiple mental health practices as the number of claims is less but the expertise required to bill these procedures are high. Their efficiency is quite high and they take well informed decisions about maximizing your revenue.
A remote mental health biller can still communicate with physician office and accomplish the billing tasks. This single remote biller can manage the most crucial part of your practice without multitasking with other administrative jobs.

The focus on other administrative jobs helps your current staff to improve the clinic’s efficiency and helps you cater to more patients qualitatively. Moreover the full time salary can be avoided and a performance based deal may be devised with Remote billers, as they are already used to this model.
All in all, many of the practices in rural areas are adopting remote mental health billing since this is a significant step in terms of solutions for their rural based mental health practice and they are equipped to handle multiple locations and deal with your revenue cycle management issues with specialization in rural mental health.

Physicians Across US Now Have Access to Hundreds of Home-Based Billers on Medicalbillersandcoders.com

WILMINGTON, Delaware, May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Physicians and Practice Managers across all specialties confidently outsource to experienced billers who choose to work from home but provide doctors efficient services in generating electronic claims, reviewing codes and modifiers, posting payments, and following up with account receivables for insurance payers and patients.
Even though most of the small and medium offices prefer to outsource their medical billing and coding processes to home-based billers, but the fact that these billers are often unavailable makes it difficult for the Practice Managers to locate them.
These home-based billers have low visibility and do not invest in reaching out to potential physician clients unlike billing companies who are all over the internet. Home-based Billers generally close business by word of mouth or references through physicians, this may not be the easiest or fastest way to be visible to new clients.
MedicalBillersandcoders.com (http://www.medicalbillersandcoders.com/) provides a platform for the home-based billers that not only helps the billers gain high visibility but also makes the task of locating medical billers easier for the physicians. This is basically in keeping with the objective of medicalbillersandcoders.com wherein the consortium aims to service physicians locally and also provide the best medical billers and coders who are experienced in specific specialties and software.
Home-based billers are preferred due to the flexibility and high level of customer service they provide; they always put the need of the Practices before their own and make genuine efforts to help the Practices manage their revenue cycle in a cost effective manner.
The other advantage of using home-based billers lies in the fact that the physicians do not have to procure and maintain billing software and face the hassle of electronic medical billing. All these formalities are looked after by a specialist biller who has a ready infrastructure to support their billing process. Physicians save a significant amount of time and expense on administrative jobs and at the same time are able to comply with any government policy related to Healthcare - IT integration.
These home-based billers keep themselves updated about government regulations and often guide Practices well in advance about the changes, if any, on compliance issues and reimbursement policies.
Home-based billers also realize that as they are often not available to physicians they are never contacted for additional clients. They understand the need for a platform to increase their visibility so as to provide the physicians with abundant choice and hence medicalbillersandcoders.com has seen a surge in the number of home-based billers joining the consortium.
Physicians have been impressed with the reach of our consortium and specialized services, which include physician credentialing, denial management, writing appeals, and process flow set-up for various practices. Medicalbillersandcoders.com is being seen as the revolution in locating billers and coders nationally and the quality of billers available on the portal is considered by far the best.

Medicalbillersandcoders.Com - The Winning Formula in These Times of Physicians Shortage

WILMINGTON, Delaware, May 9, 2011 : According to the latest data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is an acute shortage of physicians across United States; at least 26 states and 17 medical specialties have reported this fact.

The Association of American Medical Colleges has estimated that in the next decade, nearly one third of the existing physicians will retire from active service, the American population will increase by 25 million, 32 million patients will be covered by insurance, and 37 million retirees will need additional healthcare services from the physicians. 

How is this drastic shortage of physicians to be catered?
The answer lies in helping physicians to improve their efficiency so that they can attend to the needs of more patients. On an average an American physician spends 10.23% of his time in administrative jobs, either supervising or actively participating in the administrative process. They also spend as much as 14% of their revenue in an effort to get paid promptly and for the contracted amount. Physicians need to look for experts to handle their administrative work so that they can focus more on their core profession of treating patients.
