Challenges

Challenges in Acute Care Billing

Accurate coding: Acute care involves a wide range of treatments, from emergency surgeries to intensive care, and the complexity of these procedures requires precise coding. Errors in ICD-10, CPT, or HCPCS codes can lead to claim denials, delayed payments, or underbilling. Ensuring that clinical documentation aligns with coding requirements is essential but often difficult in fast-paced acute care environments.
Insurance verification: Given the urgent nature of acute care, there is often little time to verify patients’ insurance coverage or obtain necessary pre-approvals. This can result in claim rejections or patients being left with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Proper coordination between the clinical and billing teams is crucial to mitigate these issues.
Integration of EHR with billing systems: Discrepancies between clinical documentation in EHRs and billing systems can result in delayed or incorrect billing. Seamless integration is necessary for accuracy but can be difficult to achieve.
