Complexity in Coding and Documentation
Urgent care providers mostly treat a wide range of cases from minor injuries to acute illnesses and omissions. The wider scope of services entails accurate coding under CPT and ICD-10 guidelines, which can be difficult to perceive or might not be communicated effectively at first if not properly documented.
High Patient Volume and Time Sensitivity
Urgent care facilities behave under high patient volumes and the visits last very short, so the patient encounters very little time for his/her health data to be correctly documented and billed. The charge capture and submission are the first to be affected by such delays and this could impact revenue flow and operation efficiency.
Insurance Verification and Coverage Issues
Patient coverage verification and comprehending many insurers' policies are the two tasks that the medical office staff think most tedious. Employee's or patient’s insurance inaccuracies can result in claim's rejections or reimbursements delays.
