Medical Payers Create Time Limits to Save Money,Your Money
I have been in the business of working hospital accounts for over 30 years. During a time when workers comp paid bills at 100%, not a % of the current Medicare payment guidelines, which reduces annually. Medical payers are very aware of the fact that hospitals and medical offices do not have sufficient staff to stay on top of the millions of unpaid medical bills that go unpaid and end up being written off to bad debt. If you are a hospital, you have hospital billings and physician billings that range anywhere between thousands of dollars to small injection billings as low as $7.00. Now add the COVID aftermath and you have a major concern on how you are going to get your bills paid before they time out. Without sufficient staff you will be fighting a never-ending battle. Not fun.
