Currently, our practice does not use coders nor even billers to do precerts and prior authorizations. Commonly, we find things not precerted, not precerted with the right diagnosis, and not precerted with the right procedure codes. We have numerous writeoffs because of this (we do radiology as well as have surgeons and specialists who perform services in and out of the office.)
I was wondering how many practices employ coders/billers for this type of position? Do you manage the position within the billing department? Ours is currently managed by the Front Office managers, such as reception.
Thanks for your help and feedback!
