Why Dermatology Billing Requires Specialized Expertise
Dermatology billing is unique due to the combination of medical and cosmetic procedures, frequent changes in CPT coding regulations, and insurance payer requirements that differ for various dermatologic treatments. Without expert billing management, practices can face:
- High denial rates due to incorrect coding or lack of medical necessity documentation
- Reimbursement delays for complex procedures like Mohs surgery, laser treatments, and biopsies
- Audit risks due to non-compliance with Medicare and commercial insurance rules
- Revenue loss from uncollected co-pays, deductibles, and improperly submitted claims
At Hometown Billing, we understand the nuances of dermatology billing and work diligently to ensure clean claims, reduced denials, and increased practice profitability.
