Caryl Serbin, RN, BSN, LHRM, President & Founder of Serbin Medical Billing, has contributed a column to Becker's ASC Review on how to improve ASC implant reimbursement.
Topics covered include the following:
- Tracking reimbursement
- Negotiating better reimbursement
- Carve-outs
- Minimum requirements
- Proper coding
- Avoiding denials
- Supplier negotiation
As Caryl writes, "If payors don't cover costly implants adequately, ASCs may lose money on procedures that require them. Facilities face a negative impact on business and revenue if they must advise providers and patients that the facility doesn't offer services requiring implants or continue to perform these procedures at a loss."
