Otolaryngology (ENT) Billing & Coding Software
Finding the right otolaryngology billing and coding software is essential to a thriving practice.
Simplify the coding process from start to finish
Whether you are an independent ENT doctor, or you work within a small or medium-size group practice, we have medical coding and billing software that can maximize revenue and help you grow. Medical coding is the first step in getting accurate claims out the door for reimbursement. Your team of coding professionals does important work, and with software tools from AdvancedMD they can do that job even more efficiently and effectively.
Accurate codes every time
Coders must stay up to date on the latest ENT billing codes, including CPT and ICD-10 for surgical and in-office procedures and encounters. The AdvancedMD team maintains an accurate database of relevant codes. We go through and remove, add, or adjust codes as changes come out each year (and sometimes more than once a year). That information is automatically available in your cloud-based software—you won’t need to remember to download updates or make any changes.
Recommended codes for ENT encounters
AdvancedMD coding and billing software for ENT doctors can provide alerts and recommendations for the highest level of care applicable based on information in the EHR. Data is automatically transferred from the EHR to the coding and billing module, so your team has all the data they need to ensure accurate claims. If they don’t know what code to use, our software can help.
Create a customized list of codes
If your coders already know what codes they prefer to use based on the procedures or encounters you see most, they can pull from last-used, most-used, or favorites lists of common CPT and ICD-10 codes for ENT doctors.
Get alerts for potential coding errors
Upcoding is a serious violation that could get your practice in trouble, but downcoding also prevents you from maximizing revenue. Our system can flag potential errors in coding so you can double-check that they are accurate, or look for something that would provide a more complete picture of the total services you provided for the highest possible reimbursement legally allowed.
Industry-leading claims scrubbing services
The most common mistake billing and coding teams make is sending claims to insurance carriers with minor errors. These claims get denied, creating more work for your team to find out what’s wrong, correct it, and resubmit it before the deadline passes. If they miss out on resubmitting the claim, you have to write off that amount as bad debt.
AdvancedMD offers claims scrubbing services that:
- Automatically check for thousands of common errors
- Flag potential problems for your team to review
- Create a worklist that simplifies the process to address red flags or concerns
- Offer batch approvals to quickly get claims out the door once they’re verified clean
This service saves ENT clinics and providers thousands in lost time and lost revenue. It also reduces the need for extra coding and billing staff just to address a significant volume of denied claims. The first-pass resolution rate for claims sent using our claims scrubbing service is over 95% for most clinics. While we might not be able to prevent every error, we can catch enough to improve your total revenue collections.
Minimize claims denials with verifications
Verifying patient insurance information is the best way to avoid claims denials for insurance errors. Our system automatically checks insurance the moment a patient schedules an appointment, then a second time right before their appointment date. If AdvancedMD verification software finds an error, your team gets a simple worklist to contact the patient or the insurance carrier to get it figured out. By the time the patient arrives, you have correct information ready to submit.
Easy online bill pay options for patients
Give your patients multiple options for paying in addition to calling or mailing a payment. Our online bill pay is simple, convenient, and secure. It gives you the tools to send out reminders of balances due, collect payments, and automatically match those payments to outstanding invoices on the patient’s account. If there’s a discrepancy, your team gets a notification to go in and manually connect the payments.
Reporting to maintain clinic financial health
Reporting is the best way to stay updated on what’s happening within your clinic. Our financial reports are specifically designed for busy administrators, ENT physicians, and stakeholders who run independent and smaller otolaryngology practices.
Get reports delivered straight to your inbox (and any other key stakeholders) at regular intervals. See a quick overview of easy-to-digest information that’s included in the report. Dig deeper with internal report links that take you directly to the medical coding and billing software module to see the data.
