Meeting Medicaid Billing Needs with Sensitive Medical Billing SoftwareWritten by Joe Miller
Medicaid BillingMedicaid billing (similar to medicare billing)requires medical billing software that is versatile and sensitive enough to work with Medicaid. Medicaid is state subsidization of medical expenses paid on behalf of qualified low-income individuals or families. Though requirements differ in each state, payment is made directly to medical practice or service provider. In establishing medical billing solutions within a medical office, software is generally purchased to manage, track, and control billing information. Medicaid billing is handled differently than most medical billing. Since most medical billing is paid directly by client or by client’s insurance company, most medical billing software is set up for traditional billing to client or client’s insurance company. But Medicaid billing is paid through state government operations and requires software that is sensitive to Medicaid billing. Medicaid Billing Need In 1985, over 30 million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid. In 2003, less than 20 years later, American population enrolled in Medicaid climbed to over 40 million. Clearly, with technological advances since 1985, medical billing software should be sensitive to growing need for Medicaid billing allowances. In understanding nature of need for Medicaid billing allowances in medical billing software, it is helpful to understand Medicaid enrollment trends. Though low-income families may apply for enrollment in Medicaid, these young to middle-aged families do not make up much, if any, of Medicaid population.
