Components & Challenges in Sports Medicine Billing
Sports medicine faces the same indifference from insurance authorities in the US as sports in general do: they are important but not indispensable. This indifference has denied sports medicine the distinction of a specialty across the US.
Sports physicians aren’t educationally distinct from family physicians substantially, and a family physician can become a sports physician by applying for a dual credential with insurance authorities. However, when family physicians apply for the dual credential, they are denied on the basis that family medical practice and sports medicine practice are different disciplines and one can’t become the other or both.
To address these two challenges, now sports medicine is mostly practiced via managed care services to facilitate association with local insurance bodies to help reimbursement of claims. But, managed care service involves allocating a physician to each care recipient, making it mandatory, for successful reimbursement, to establish that treatment was carried out upon the referral of the assigned physician. It also necessitates detailed and accurate documentation of all medical and nonmedical details required and familiarity of care providers with the resulting complications of managed care services.
In addition to the above hurdles, sports medicine reimbursement is also subject to all the insurance regulations that apply to other specialties. This causes care providers involved in sports medicine left to negotiate with mounting ARs and losses. Care providers are not able to handle this effectively and productively as it requires handling complicated medical and regulatory details, filing claims, and following them up for timely reimbursements – things outside their area of competency and can be best dealt with if left to experienced billing and coding houses.
