Medical billing regulations are constantly changing, and keeping up with these changes can be a challenge for healthcare providers. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the recent changes in medical billing regulations and how they may impact your practice.
Changes to Coding and Reimbursement Policies
One of the most significant changes in medical billing regulations is the constant updates to coding and reimbursement policies. These changes can impact the way you bill and the amount of reimbursement you receive for your services. To ensure compliance, it’s essential to stay up-to-date on the latest coding and reimbursement policies.
Updates to HIPAA and Other Privacy Regulations
HIPAA and other privacy regulations are another area that is constantly evolving. Staying compliant with these regulations is crucial to avoid penalties and protect patient privacy. Recent updates to these regulations include requirements for increased patient access to their medical records and strengthened security requirements for electronic health information.
New Requirements for Electronic Health Records
The use of electronic health records (EHRs) is becoming increasingly common in healthcare, and new requirements for their use are emerging. For example, recent regulations require providers to use certified EHR technology and implement certain security measures to protect patient information.
