Third-party payers continue to make collecting for services more and more challenging. And the fee schedules continue to be reduced. As the reimbursement per service falls and improper denials continue to arrive at the practice, it is critical that the billing and coding operations implement an assertive appeals process, holding third-party payers accountable for paying for services rendered, documented, appropriately coded and billed.This is a tedious process and cannot be overlooked because it may be the difference between profitability and the loss of a practice.
