Do not let the insurance companies get away with non payment. Report them to the insurance commission if they refuse to make an effort to pay you according to your contracts. There are practices that are complaining of insurance companies in Louisiana using the timely filing rule to get away with non payment. This is a practice that they are using and getting away with in many cases. Don’t let them do it to you!!!!
All insurance companies have different rules on timely filing but if you have submitted the claim then don’t let them tell you otherwise. The success of your practice depends on your billers following up on unpaid claims and working HARD to get paid. We recommend looking into implementing performance measurements or collection bonuses to help stay on top of your collection efforts.
Dermatology billing, because of the volume of claims, requires more staff than many of the other specialties. This is why it is important to stay on top of your AR because this is where the most damage is done to an office. Remember that it all starts in your front office with accurate information.
Bad info in=Denied Claims out
