What is a Medical Billing and Coding Services Business?

A Medical Billing and Coding Services business, also called a Medical Coding and Billing business, is a type of healthcare business that provides revenue cycle and medical documentation services. These businesses provide coding services including ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS coding, insurance claim submission, reimbursement management, regulatory compliance and other revenue cycle services for healthcare providers to improve financial performance and regulatory compliance.

Services provided include medical record coding, insurance claim filing, denial management, payment posting, patient billing, accounts receivable follow-up, coding audits, compliance audits, credentialing, and other revenue cycle management services for healthcare providers and organizations that want to improve their operations and financial performance and maximize their revenue cycle potential.

Medical billing companies, coding companies, revenue cycle management companies, and healthcare administrative service organizations (ASO) in healthcare financial services share similar interests in documenting, submitting claims by deadlines, managing denials, regulatory compliance, training staff, providing healthcare financial assistance, using tools to improve efficiency, and managing client relations.

To support these goals, Medical Billing and Coding Services use a wide range of tools and technology; including IT-enabled practice management platforms, electronic health records (EHR), automated code assignment, claim scrubbing, compliance systems, healthcare analytics, protected data storage systems, and performance dashboards.

Depending upon their location, these companies may be surgical specialty coding companies, multi-specialty billing companies, hospital revenue cycle management companies or healthcare financial services companies offering specialized administrative services to a wide range of practice size, specialty and complexity of practices.

Medical Billing and Coding Services Business Market Trends and Growth Drivers

Key business trends and drivers for the Medical Billing and Coding Services industry include the increasing complexity of reimbursement systems used in the medical and healthcare sectors, the growing regulatory demands and requirements for value-based healthcare services, the increasing financial pressure on healthcare providers, and the growing focus on revenue enhancement via professional administrative outsourcing. These are likely to drive demand for medical billing and coding services. Factors include providers adopting electronic health records, converting to ICD-10 under the associated ICD-10 coding guidelines, government regulations under HIPAA and Medicare guidelines, and providers often preferring outsourced specialists near them to avoid overhead costs and ensure timely cash flow during a changing healthcare payment climate.

To respond to these issues, operators spent money to: buy new billing software systems, hire certified coders, protect sensitive health information in a HIPAA-compliant manner, train their staff and comply with the laws and standards governing healthcare. These investments have paid for themselves, as the new technology, staff and compliance efforts have increased both service accuracy and business performance.

Other than the fees received for billing and coding related services, revenue diversity is a key component of risk mitigation. In addition to business-to-business services, other potential services include consulting, coding audits and compliance review, credentialing, practice management services, denial management systems, staff education and workshops, and IT technology implementation.

A medical coding business's success can depend on location and relationships with healthcare providers. Businesses located close to other medical practices, hospital systems, and specialty clinics can develop a consistent client base and industry credibility, especially when staffed with certified coding specialists. In parallel, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure, HIPAA compliance and adherence to medical coding certification standards result in operational excellence and high levels of trust among clients.

Other risks to the company include changes to healthcare regulations, coding changes, competition from larger and more established billing services and offshore billing companies, dependency on and stability of the healthcare sector, changes in reimbursement rates, regulatory compliance, and data security.

An ideal MBCS service business model also requires capital investments in technology infrastructure, secure data management processes, certified coding specialists, medical billing professionals and advanced practice management software tools. It should also staff administrators, comply with professionals, and strategize sales and marketing to ensure brands are known and to develop trust among healthcare providers, medical offices, hospital systems, and other stakeholders. These businesses code accurately, process claims and payments rapidly, and communicate with customers professionally, to help the healthcare financial process and allow healthcare providers to focus on the quality of clinical care.
