The Complexities in Bariatric Billing

Bariatric surgery includes a number of services, such as post-operative care and pre-operative examinations. In order to pay providers appropriately, payers need to precisely code and record services. This procedure could take a long time and be prone to mistakes, which could cause delays, rejections, and income loss.

Bariatric practices face several specific challenges:

Complicated Coding Needs: Based on the complexity of the operation, bariatric surgeries might need specific CPT and ICD-10 codes along with extra modifiers. It can be quite challenging to stay updated with constantly changing rules.
Detailed Documentation: All pertinent patient data, diagnoses, and operations carried out must be captured in the rigorous and comprehensive medical records required for bariatric surgery claims. One of the main reasons claims are denied is incomplete documentation.
Value-Based Care and Bundled Payments: These two trends are changing the healthcare industry and need for precise documentation of all services provided during a patient episode. In order to comply with these new regulations, bariatric practices must modify their medical billing procedures.
Labor-intensive manual processes: A major source of human error and inefficiency in the traditional bariatric billing method is the manual data entry and review process. It is possible to save up important staff time for patient care by streamlining these procedures.

How AI is Transforming Bariatric Billing?

AI offers a powerful solution to these challenges, bringing automation, accuracy, and efficiency to bariatric billing. Here’s how Practolytics leverages AI technology:

Through automated coding and claim scrubbing:AI algorithms may automatically examine patient data and medical records to determine the most correct CPT and ICD-10 codes for bariatric operations and related services. As a result, there is a lower chance of coding errors and claims are submitted correctly right away.
By gaining access to payer databases, artificial intelligence can rapidly confirm a patient’s eligibility and benefits in real time. This removes the necessity of manual verification, avoiding claim denials caused by coverage problems.
AI can use predictive analytics to analyze past data in order to detect possible claim denials caused by coding mistakes or lack of documentation. This proactive strategy enables practices to deal with issues early on, enhancing the rates of first-pass claim acceptance.
Efficient Workflow Management: AI systems can automate common tasks such as entering data and submitting claims, allowing employees to concentrate on more important activities like interacting with patients and quality care projects.
