Today’s skilled nursing facility billing is more critical than ever, and with the ever-changing billing regulation and rising healthcare costs it further adds up to the problems faced by the billers of the nursing facility billing operations. The skilled nursing facilities or SNFs furthermore have been under greater scrutiny since the HHS and DOJ recovered approximately $47 million in 2018.
Being one of the complicated domains, in-house billers and coders are often seen juggling in between works further leading to errors and delay in the billing processes even more.
In fact, here are the common billing errors in skilled nursing facilities:
-
