According to HHS data released in May 2014, nearly two-thirds of people on the health insurance marketplace carefully chosen the Silver Plan, which has a family deductible around $6,000; and another 20% of people choose the Bronze Plan, which has a family deductible around $10,000. So over 80% of families on the new exchanges have a deductible of at least $6,000.

Due of this, in 2015 practices can assume to accumulate a majority of their revenue straight from their patients through the first six months of the year as different to from insurance companies. Practices must make certain that they are ready for this and can take three significant steps now to prepare.

Conferring to Medical Billing and Coders up to 30% of income at a medical practice is lost due to incorrect billing. Make sure that claims are submitted swiftly too, as payments takes time to process.

2. Confirm that your practice technology is current.

3. Make sure your back office is in order.

However with the escalation in workload due to the healthcare reforms, your back office is left with less or almost no time to handle the important subjects to keep a focus on your bottom line. Make sure your supervisor/managers takes the time to confirm that all processes are being properly observed and give it time to discover new and innovative conducts of doing business.
