Page 1 of 2 The growing shift from private practice to hospital employment There seems to be something really interesting as far as the shift from private practice to hospital based employment recently: • A consistent 2% annual decline in private practicing by physicians, which is expected to be at 5% annually by 2013 • An upsurge in hospital employment accounting for nearly 51% of the physicians employed last year, which is up from 14% percent eight years ago Judging by the current trend, the U. S. will have only one-third of the total physicians left in the private or solo-practices. The radical shift has not come about naturally. The proposed cuts to the Medicare physician fee schedule conversion factor, the additional bundling of specialty procedure codes, the challenges associated with EHR implementation, and the mon

Page 1 of 1 The Impact of Hospital Billing Processes on Patients’ Longer-Term Satisfaction The sway that business offices can have on reference patterns amongst consumers is a tactical opportunity as the insurance market moves to high deductible plans and hospitals take in new physicians into their business. According to a survey conducted by Connance in 2011 Americans who received hospital services in the past 2 years, merely 21% of patients engaged with the business office after discharge are completely contented with hospital billing, and those less happy are less liable to recommend the hospital to their friends and acquaintances. Moreover the survey also suggests that among the insured respondents, 31% had high deductible plans. Overall contentment with the hospital billing procedures is low with just twenty one perc

Page 1 of 1 Physicians tackle HIPAA requirements and increased scrutiny by Government The health reforms have not only affected the way in which healthcare is delivered but also the way in which information is shared among various professionals and entities in the health industry. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations have become more stringent for physicians, and patient privacy is one of the issues that are emphasized in the health reforms. Physicians are tackling this increased scrutiny by the government by adapting various methods in the various core and departmental processes involved in the delivery of healthcare. The HIPAA and the HITECH Act have brought about new changes to the way physicians’ roles are scrutinized in the country. The privacy guidelines in the HIPAA Act are exhau

Page 1 of 2 Predicting the scope of medical billing consultants after 2014 and beyond Although it has been quite a while since the Federal Government announced a series of far-reaching healthcare reforms, we are yet to experience their full impact across the healthcare continuum. And, with the Senate bill deferring a major chunk of the reforms further, it is expected that we may have to wait as late as 2014 to witness their full impact. Amongst a string of reforms that will take effect from 2014 are the ones emanating from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which will bring immediate benefits to millions of Americans, including those who currently have coverage. The following benefits will be available in the first year after enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: • Access to affordable

Insurance denials are one of the major factors that affect a physician’s revenue even though health reforms do address some issues faced by patients and physicians in dealing with insurance companies, the denial rate of claims has not significantly altered due to such reforms.

Page 1 of 2 How crucial are certain adjustments while posting payments? While it is true that payment posting is merely an exercise of recording the actual claim realized against patient account concerned, in reality its scope extends beyond that. Far from just being an accounting exercise, payment posting has evolved into an indispensable tool for analyzing and augmenting revenue generation from medical claim realization from medical insurance providers. Today, the quality of payment posting exercise can either make or break your final financial report. Therefore, medical practitioners across the healthcare continuum are beginning to lay emphasis on this pivotal component more than ever before. Consequently, the cash posting or payment entry department if yours is an in-house medical billing practice, or your medical bi

Page 1 of 1 Practice Owners face challenges with EHR adoption: Possible Solutions The adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) presents numerous challenges for physicians and many practices are finding it difficult to successfully adopt EHRs. The data released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention about EHR adoption rates in the country bears witness to the fact that adoption rates are not what they need to be in order to have a positive effect on the health industry. Although more than 50% of office based physicians in the country have some type of EMR/EHR, only about 10% of office based physicians in the country have a fully functional EMR/EHR system. Originally EHRs were designed for hospitals and smaller practices and practice owners have found it difficult to adopt such system due to many reasons. The

However, some functions that a receptionist or front desk executive may perform are complex; for instance, preauthorizations which require knowledge of insurance policies and procedures to avoid losses and errors. The front office executive in a medical practice juggles with many tasks at the same time and these can range from greeting

Radiologists are playing an ever increasing role in hospitals and these deeper involvements are due to numerous factors. The outcomes of such an ever increasing involvement of radiologists in hospitals can bring about positive outcomes not just in the core aspects of medicine and for patients but also in the form of pecuniary benefits in the long run for almost all the parties involved in delivering healthcare as well as the recipient of such health care.
