When patients see an oncologist, they are often already dealing with health and financial hardship. That combination means that physicians must spend more time with each patient, while also facing increased potential for reimbursement issues related to under-coding or over-coding.
Outsourcing oncology medical billing and revenue cycle management processes like compliance audits to a billing partner who understands the distinctions between consultation and a new patient visit, as well as correct use of prolonged service codes, insurance covering clinical trials, and codes for specific procedures like transplants, can help maximize reimbursements and minimize claim denials.
