Researchers from University of Wisconsin Madison Report on Findings in Reproductive Medicine (Billing, Coding, and Practice Management: a Primer for Today’s Reproductive Medicine Professional)

2021 MAR 02 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Daily -- A new study on Health and Medicine - Reproductive Medicine is now available. According to news reporting originating from Middleton, Wisconsin, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Despite years of recognition that many physicians are woefully unprepared to face challenges regarding the business of medicine, marginal progress has been made. In this piece, we aim to provide the contemporary reproductive medicine physician with an understanding of billing, coding, and, most importantly, cost containment for a typical fertility practice.”

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Wisconsin Madison, “It is critical for modem practices to not forego hard-earned revenue to insurance companies or not be aware of critical rules and regulations. While running a successful fertility practice requires good medical care, a profitable practice is necessary for overall long-term success.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “This article provides a brief history of medical insurance and billing, explains the process of updating billing codes, and reviews the revenue cycle, cost containment, and contract negotiations with insurance companies.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
