Question:  Why outsource the professional and/or technical coding and billing for the emergency department (“ED”)?
Answer:  Because of the complexity of ED coding and billing, the compliance risks associated with getting it wrong (e.g. ED visit volumes exponentially increasing the risks) and the specialized knowledge and expertise to obtain appropriate reimbursement.
If HBR is not your billing company, you’re definitely missing something significant whether it is technology, service, critical up-to-the-minute information or effective compliance and coding Q/A oversight.  In today’s dynamic and challenging healthcare environment, your practice cannot afford to forego any of these critical elements.
