The US Public Health Service has highlighted the fact that nearly one
in five Americans suffers from some form of mental health disorders and
that only a fraction of those affected receive treatment.
Illinois and California are the two
states with the highest concentration of mental health patients among
adults touching 38.6%, according to the 2010 data on
Kaiserhealthnews.org. New York City is a close contender with 36.1% and
9th place among the 50 states. To compound the problem, Illinois also
happens to be a state with a high 21.4% underserved population when it
comes to mental health care services.
The physicians located in Chicago, Illinois, Californian cities such as San Diego and Los Angeles, and New York City
have to cater to an ever-increasing Mental healthcare patient volume.
Any successful intervention in their support will inevitably need to
establish expert professional support for their non-core activities such
as billing, coding, and other affiliated services in RCM, allowing them
to focus on patient care.
Chicago medical billing, San Diego medical billing, Los Angeles medical billing and New York City medical billing
Medicalbillersandcoders.com has extended its established network of billers and coders with substantial hands-on experience in Mental Health billing and coding to support these physicians and their overworked staff.
Mental Healthcare is a busy specialty due to its interdisciplinary
nature and also involves very complex billing and coding services. On
top of that, there is a much greater Mental Health claims denial rate
vis-à-vis many other specialties which calls for stringent pro-active
measures in claims submission for effective reimbursement.
It seems imperative for these physicians to enroll very experienced
specialized professionals for an efficient reimbursement process, so
that the physicians can concentrate on providing optimum and meaningful
patient care.
Along with these responsibilities, Mental healthcare physicians also
have to ensure compliance of the recent healthcare regulations such as
HIPAA 5010, ICD10, PQRI, CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry), HIE
(Health Information Exchange) along with the latest EMR updates. Along
with this, the various projected healthcare reforms such as EHR, PQRS,
and ePrescribing as also the imminent inclusion of a large percentage of
hitherto uninsured population are going to escalate the already
burgeoning problem of expert billing and coding support to Mental
healthcare specialists in New York, Chicago and San Diego as well as
neighboring cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles.
