Medical Billing for Australian Physicians

Physicians working in private hospitals can generate billing across multiple patients, admissions, facilities and episodes of care.

Managing this billing alongside clinical responsibilities can create a significant administrative workload.

DEVZ Solutions provides specialist medical billing support with a particular focus on inpatient billing.

Our role is to help physicians maintain an organised administrative process from receiving billing information through to claim preparation, submission, monitoring, reconciliation and appropriate follow-up.

Inpatient Medical Billing for Physicians

Inpatient medicine can involve ongoing patient care across hospital admissions rather than a single isolated episode.

This means billing information may be generated across different patients, dates and hospital locations.

Maintaining an organised process is important so billing information can be processed consistently and outstanding items identified.

DEVZ Solutions provides an inpatient billing workflow that can include:

• Processing supplied inpatient billing information
• Preparing eligible claims
• Medicare claiming
• Private health fund claiming
• ECLIPSE claiming where applicable
• Monitoring submitted claims
• Identifying rejected or outstanding claims
• Administrative follow-up
• Payment reconciliation
• Managing outstanding billing information
• Maintaining an organised billing workflow

Billing is processed according to clinical and billing information supplied or authorised by the practitioner.

The treating physician remains responsible for the accuracy of clinical information and billing instructions supplied.

Billing Across Multiple Hospital Admissions

Physicians may care for patients across different hospitals, admissions and periods of inpatient treatment.

This can make billing administration more complex because information may be generated across multiple locations and dates.

A centralised billing workflow can help organise this information.

DEVZ Solutions can manage supplied billing information through one consistent administrative process, helping physicians keep track of claims regardless of where the relevant inpatient service occurred.

Medicare Billing for Physicians

Medicare is an important part of Australian specialist medical billing.

For eligible services, the appropriate practitioner, patient, service and billing information needs to be available for administrative processing.

DEVZ Solutions can assist with processing eligible Medicare claims using information supplied or authorised by the physician.

After submission, claims can be monitored so billing items requiring further attention can be identified and appropriately followed up.

Private Health Fund Billing

Privately insured inpatient patients may also involve billing through private health insurers.

Administrative requirements can vary according to the relevant insurer, practitioner arrangements and circumstances of the service.

DEVZ Solutions supports the administrative processing of applicable private health fund claims as part of the physician's overall billing workflow.

Monitoring and reconciliation help identify items that may require further administrative attention.

ECLIPSE Claiming

ECLIPSE provides electronic claiming functionality involving Medicare and participating private health insurers for eligible medical services.

Where ECLIPSE is an appropriate claiming pathway, it can form part of the billing workflow managed by DEVZ Solutions.

Electronic claiming can streamline parts of the process, but submitted claims still need to be monitored.

Rejected, delayed or unresolved claims require identification and appropriate administrative follow-up rather than assuming every submission has completed successfully.

No Gap and Known Gap Billing

Depending on the patient's insurer, practitioner arrangements and circumstances of the inpatient service, applicable billing may involve No Gap or Known Gap arrangements.

Individual private health insurers can have requirements associated with their gap arrangements.

DEVZ Solutions can assist with the administrative processing of applicable claims according to the billing information and instructions supplied by the physician.

Requirements may vary, so claims need to be processed according to the applicable arrangements for the individual circumstances.

Billing for Ongoing Inpatient Care

Physician billing can differ from billing associated with a single procedural episode because patient care may continue throughout an admission.

As a result, billing information can accumulate across different days and episodes of care.

An organised workflow helps ensure supplied billing information is processed consistently rather than left until the end of a busy clinical period.

DEVZ Solutions provides administrative support designed to keep billing moving alongside the physician's clinical workload.

Rejected and Outstanding Claims

Claim submission does not always complete the billing process.

Some claims may require further attention because information is incomplete, additional clarification is required or the claim has not progressed as expected.

DEVZ Solutions helps monitor submitted billing and identify items requiring administrative follow-up.

Appropriate follow-up can then be undertaken using the information available and according to the applicable claiming requirements.

This helps prevent unresolved billing from simply becoming part of an administrative backlog.

Payment Reconciliation

Payment reconciliation is an important stage of an organised billing process.

It helps determine whether expected payments associated with processed billing have been received and identifies billing items that may still require attention.

DEVZ Solutions incorporates reconciliation into the administrative billing workflow rather than treating claim submission as the final step.

Relevant medical payments are made directly to the physician's nominated account.

DEVZ Solutions does not need to receive and hold the doctor's medical income before transferring it to the practitioner.

Managing a Physician Billing Backlog

Billing backlogs can develop when clinical workload increases, administrative arrangements change or billing information arrives from multiple facilities.

Outstanding items can become increasingly difficult to manage if they are not organised systematically.

DEVZ Solutions can assist with organising outstanding billing information and establishing a more consistent process for ongoing billing.

Where historical billing is involved, applicable claiming requirements and whether individual items remain claimable depend on the circumstances and relevant payer requirements.

Reducing Billing Administration for Physicians

A physician's time is primarily focused on patient assessment, treatment and ongoing clinical care.

Billing administration adds another layer of work around those clinical responsibilities.

Using a dedicated billing service allows administrative billing tasks to be managed through a consistent workflow.

The physician continues to control the clinical information and billing instructions while DEVZ Solutions manages the administrative processes associated with billing.
