Issues Physician Assistants Face
Physician Assistants (PAs) face unique challenges in billing, coding, and credentialing due to their role in collaborative care settings. Issues such as shared/split billing, payer-specific supervision rules, undercoding, and proper use of modifiers can lead to claim denials and underpayments. Navigating Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance requirements for services rendered independently or under physician supervision adds further complexity.
Credentialing delays can also limit access to insurance networks, impacting patient care and practice growth. At AccordPro, we simplify these processes to ensure accurate billing, timely reimbursements, and streamlined credentialing.
