Critical Care Medicine Billing Services

Why Critical Care Medicine Billing Services Require Expert Management


Critical​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ care billing is very risky, and the services must be done in a very short time. It is also necessary that the documentation and coding be done very accurately. In fact, the accurate reporting of critical care time (CPT 99291, 99292), central line placement (CPT 36591, 36592), and ventilator management (CPT 94002, 94003) is the most important step to get the proper reimbursement. Billing Care Solutions makes sure that claims are submitted in the right way, that there is no problem with prior authorizations, and that denials are resolved in an efficient manner. Our team, which is always up to date with every single claim, keeps track of the performance metrics and finds the potential revenue gaps, which, in turn, allows practices to be at their best in the workflow. Being experts in critical care medicine and at the same time having advanced billing technology, Billing Care Solutions is the solution that keeps the providers in the loop with compliance, revenue generation, and, of course, patient ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌care.
