Approximately 40% of all medical claims contain errors. With strict insurance guidelines for medical billing<\/strong><\/a> and coding and constant changes to billing rules, many of these claims are likely to get rejected. The cycle of submission, rejection, editing and re-submission can take weeks, often resulting in providers waiting for months before receiving payment for their services. Not only is this significant administrative cost, but also an average of $25 is taken from the practice per claim for corrected claims, re-submissions, paper submissions, appeals & human efforts utilized for these rejected claims. Eventually, we do get paid for some of these claims however, this brings down the practice profitability to approximately 50%.<\/p>\n

Hence, prevention is better than the cure for claims as well.<\/h3>\n
