Billing & Coding
Billing is treacherous and unsettling territory for everyone involved.
Complicated laws, coding audits, multiple insurance companies, and a myriad of compliance issues make this an area most would rather leave to someone else. You can and you should, because VitalMed specializes in efficient and effective billing for anesthesia and pain management providers. We work hard to be on top of the constantly changing regulations and other factors that are unique to your profession. All of our staff members have extensive training in anesthesia and coders, are required to have nationally recognized coding certifications. VitalMed is skilled and experienced in handling coding audits, which have become extremely common. Simply put, having VitalMed as a part of your team will optimize your revenue cycle opportunities and increase the confidence you have in your billing and reimbursement.
Coding is key.
Since there are so many different kinds of payer policies, compliance with the endless number of stipulations can be difficult. In addition, a good revenue cycle operation must be aware of the regular changes to the Relative Value Guide published by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Therefore, the skills of your coding staff determine not only whether the claims you submit are in compliance with payer and governmental regulations, but also whether you are collecting the maximum amount you are eligible to collect. It makes sense to leave this worry behind and make VitalMed's coding team a part of your own.
