1. Incorrect Patient Information
Simple errors like misspelled names, incorrect birthdates, or insurance details can lead to claim denials. Always verify patient information at every visit.
2. Inaccurate Coding
Using outdated or incorrect codes can result in denied claims. Ensure your billing team stays updated with coding changes. At A.W. Medical Billing LLC, we use the latest coding standards to prevent errors.
3. Missing Claim Deadlines
