FAMILY PRACTICE MEDICAL BILLING

Family physicians play a unique role in the health care system as they are trained to deal with most health issues. In short, they can provide a 'single window clearance' for all healthcare needs of a person. However, family doctors face a number of challenges, which are as follows.

• Heavy workload creates a sense of feeling rushed.
• Aligning with evolving patient needs and demands also creates time pressures.
• Private family practices have to bear various costs such as staffing, supplies, computer systems management, and other overhead expenses.
• Rising overheads sometimes force family medicine practitioners to see more patients in less time.
• The lack of opportunities to meet and work together with specialists to whom patients are referred, can negatively affect the working relationship and also undermine the physician’s credibility with the patients.
• Family physicians sometimes face difficulty accessing appropriate consults or tests in a timely fashion, which causes unacceptable delays and increases the burnout factor.
• Moreover, family medicine practitioners have to keep up with the ever-expanding body of knowledge, which is another time-consuming activity.
• Submitting medical billing claims can cause extra hours of work for already time-starved family physicians.
