SoftbeckMedicare provides all the services you could need from a podiatry medical billing company. In addition to our billing system, which has proven to increase revenue for our clients, we also offer a full suite of medical revenue cycle management (RCM) services.
Podiatry is one of the more demanding fields of medicine to bill for, with its own documentation standards, payer rules, and coding conventions. These factors combine to make podiatry medical billing among the most complex of all the different specialties.
The codes for medical billing are updated annually, but there are also changes to regulations, government program rules, and insurer requirements that may happen all through the year. Failing to incorporate each payer's demands and the latest codes into every podiatry claim will result in non-payment — and in this economy, no one can afford to not get paid for the services they provide.
On the other hand, trying to stay on top of all the changes can take so much time and attention that it becomes impossible to focus on patients and the care they need. Outsourcing podiatry revenue cycle management has become a popular solution that increases revenue while allowing medical professionals to get back to focusing on patient care.
Podiatry care continues to evolve, and with it, the complexity billers must manage has increased. Outsourcing to experienced podiatry billing experts has proven to increase revenue and reduce the administrative strain these claims create.

Different CPT and ICD-10 codes apply depending on how a podiatry service is documented. Any confusion in the medical record can eventually lead coders to pick the wrong code. In order to achieve accuracy, our podiatry coders examine the documentation and ask the provider questions rather than making assumptions.
Prior authorization and payer-specific utilization review add their own demands: state and plan-specific rules, authorization workflows, and medical necessity documentation. We manage podiatry authorizations across all 50 states and handle the longer billing cycles these claims can involve, so your practice doesn't have to carry this burden in-house.
Our services for podiatry billing span the entire revenue cycle, starting from coding to the A/R follow-up. Our expertise stops errors that general billers would miss, automation catches things that mass processing may overlook, and we combine both aspects to uncover potential problems before they cause trouble at the denial stage.
