Appealing a denial is costly, time-consuming, and impacts cash flow. It requires skill, a well-crafted appeal, and knowledge of the payor's appeals process. HCMS' Appeals and Denials Best Practices guide offers a roadmap to turn denials into payments, available on the HCMS website under Billing and Payors.
New HCMS Bilateral Billing/Policy Guide
Due to increased denials for bilateral procedures, HCMS developed a new web page, Bilateral Indicators and Billing Guidelines, to assist physicians and staff in navigating the various payer billing and payment requirements and policies. Included on the web page is a payer Bilateral Billing Guide that outlines each payer’s bilateral billing instructions and related policies.
