Demand for Gastroenterology Services to Impact Medical Billing in Clinics and
Hospitals?
The consistent rise in demand for Gastroenterology services has really been a boon for clinics and hospitals. But the
growth has been so overwhelming that it started affecting their reimbursements in a big way. While practitioners
have generally been preoccupied with clinical duties, their medical billing staff have found the voluminous growth
simply hard to cope with. As a result, there may been considerable delay in processing claims, leaving physicians’
bills to pile up as ‘account receivables’. The situation is likely to be even more demanding as a large percentage of
population is going to be brought under Medicare and other insurance schemes. As per the reliable industry sources,
Gastroenterology specialty alone will see 20 to 25 percent growth over the next five years or so. Fortunately,
Gastroenterology practices can replace or ease medical billing woes with outsourced Gastroenterology medical
billing solutions. The quality of services offered is generally good across the US, but it is still advisable to gauge your
prospective service providers’ credentials before taking them onboard. Amongst many parameters against which
you may judge your prospective Gastroenterology Billing partners’ competence, following assume more significance
than the rest:

company’s staff’s experience and credentials such as being certified billers and coders from

credentials, it all the more important that they deliver on-time and accurate billing services.

Federal or state-specific. As outsourced service providers, it is imperative that your prospective
Gastroenterology billing partners comply with either of the two
• Competitive cost: With other things being equal, you should insist on those partners whose prices
are relatively less.

billing partners should be judged for their ability to offer inclusive set of services, such as the
