Podiatry Billing 101 : How to improve collections?

Best Practices in Podiatry – Medical Billing and Coding

Podiatry billing can be complicated in many ways - beginning with the need to determine and prove the medical necessity of the treatment, to the many nuances of medical coding. It demands meticulous use of modifiers and an understanding of coding for inclusive procedures. In this guide, Medical Billing Wholesalers bring you the guidelines & best practices to be followed to increase collections for your Podiatry practice.

Understanding Commonly Used Modifiers and Their Impact On Reimbursements
According to the AMA and the CMS, a modifier provides the means to report or indicate that a service or procedure has been performed and altered by some specific circumstance but not changed in definition. Healthcare practices tend to suffer from aged accounts, write-offs, and revenue leakage if they do not have a firm grip on the use of modifiers. In this article, we bring you the common modifiers in medical billing & their applications.
