Claims with High Losses

In a typical medical practice, hundreds of patients often come in daily, leading to a large volume of low-value claims being filed daily. However, in pulmonology billing, the examinations and treatments are different. They require more detailed and time-consuming procedures. A physician may see around 10 to 15 patients on a typical day. Consequently, the financial impact of a single unpaid claim can be significant.

Modifiers are essential to coding as they provide the necessary information to ensure reimbursement for all services provided. Inexperienced coders can refer to the general code for a procedure, but they may struggle with determining the appropriate depth and the specific numerical details that need to be included.

Tracking and scheduling flu shots, vaccines, and other preventive practices required on a seasonal or annual basis introduces additional coverage and coding questions that must be addressed.
