Implementing Optimal Practices for Pediatric Billing and Coding Services:
We ensure the turnaround time for converting a superbill to a claim is minimal. To prevent rejections and resubmissions from the clearinghouse, our team submits clean claims from the outset, strictly adhering to the policies, rules, and regulations of all payers. We perform prior authorizations and verify patient benefits before their visit. Our experienced coding team uses its deep knowledge to apply correct modifiers, reducing the risk of denials. Our expertise in pediatric billing includes, but is not limited to:
Pediatric Practices Face Challenges in Medical Billing and Coding
Complex Coding Requirements:
Pediatric care involves a wide range of services, from routine check-ups to specialized treatments, each requiring accurate and detailed coding. Frequent updates in codes and regulations can lead to errors if not managed properly.
Adherence to Government Regulations for Offers and Incentives:
The U.S. government places greater emphasis on ensuring children and youth receive medical care compared to adults, offering more programs specifically for pediatric populations. For busy office staff, keeping up with the necessary documentation and requirements to participate in these programs can be challenging, making it difficult to secure the compensation the practice is entitled to from these initiatives.
Handling Seasonal Services:
Vaccinations are more frequently required in pediatrics than in any other specialty, making accurate billing codes crucial for proper record-keeping. It’s essential to track which vaccines have been administered, which are required for school, and which are recommended for overall health. Additionally, helping parents stay informed about their child's vaccination needs is a key service provided by pediatric practices.
Age-Appropriate Documentation:
It is common for families to keep their children with their pediatrician until they graduate from high school, thus billing and coding personnel need to be aware that when a patient turns 18, CPT codes will change for everything, independent of other changes in the patient's life.
Managing Claim Denials and Rejections:
Payers often reject claims due to minor errors or mismatched information. When families move and switch pediatricians, keeping the patient’s chart fully updated can be challenging, and any discrepancies can lead to claim rejections. Outsourcing claim management to a dedicated team of certified specialists allows medical professionals to focus on patient care, while the billing team ensures the practice is properly compensated for the services provided.

How MBHP can be helpful:
Pediatric offices require staff to be highly attentive to patients, making outsourcing pediatric billing services particularly advantageous. The unique challenges of dealing with children, along with the presence of siblings and the need for extra precautions due to contagious diseases, demand significant attention from in-office staff. Outsourcing pediatric medical coding and billing allows busy office staff to focus on providing efficient care without the added burden of managing payer changes and billing complexities. This ensures that staff can concentrate on delivering high-quality patient care while billing experts handle the administrative tasks.
