Hospital-Based Billing

Hospital Anesthesia Billing

Most anesthesia groups do the majority of their work in a hospital setting. This means that the nuances of hospital anesthesia billing and coding are critical to maximize reimbursement and minimize compliance risks. At the same time, the environment is inherently complex with multiple operating rooms, coverage requirements, hospital quality metrics, etc. Where groups use a mix of anesthesiologists and CRNA’s, appropriate coding and billing of supervision is essential.

Anesthesia Billing Service: ClientFirst

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare world, hospital-based anesthesia groups expect and need more than basic billing and coding. First they need responsive service to respond to questions and opportunities that arise. Examples include hospital discussions about OR utilization, payer changes in reimbursement and modifer rules, hospital contract negotiations and potential ACO discussions.

That is exactly what the AdvantEdge Analytics dashboard provides: current information on charges, adjustments, payments, volume, A/R and more.  In an easy-to-use, HIPAA-secure online portal with drill-downs, downloads and flexible time frames.
