How Do Medical Billing Advocates Help with Insurance Claims?
Insurance claims for cancer treatments can be complicated and time-consuming. Billing advocates assist in several ways:
- Pre-Authorization: They help secure pre-authorization for treatments, ensuring that insurance covers as much as possible. - Claims Submission: Advocates ensure that claims are submitted correctly, reducing the chances of delays or denials. - Appeals: If a claim is denied, they can assist in the appeals process, using their knowledge of insurance policies and medical codes to argue for coverage. - Coordination of Benefits: For patients with multiple insurance policies, advocates can coordinate benefits to maximize coverage.
