What Are the Challenges Your Practice Faces in GI Medical Billing?

Gastroenterology billing breaks down in predictable places. Authorization delays create scheduling gaps and revenue losses. Staffing overload prevents timely claim submission. Minor coding errors compound into major cash flow disruptions.

The financial impact of these challenges is quantifiable. On average, practices lose between 3%-5% of their potential income due to billing errors that can easily be fixed. 

To maintain steady cash flow and stay compliant, gastroenterology practices must address the three central challenges that have been identified:

Overcoming Coding and Billing Errors in Gastroenterology with Nexus io

Gastroenterology claims face higher denial rates than most specialties. According to the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), gastroenterology’s average denial rate is 6.7%—significantly higher than the 4.9% median denial rate across all specialties.

Nexus io minimizes this risk through specialized GI billing expertise. Our AAPC-certified medical coders review documentation, assign precise CPT codes, apply necessary modifiers, and run every claim through multi-layer scrubbing before submission.

Most billing errors stem from missing referral letters or incomplete eligibility checks. These mistakes trigger compliance issues with Medicare’s local coverage determinations (LCDs) and commercial payer policies for endoscopy procedures.

Heavy workloads cause rushed coding. Staff overlook critical details such as incorrect ICD-11 or HCPCS code selection, missing or wrong modifiers, delayed pre-authorizations, and incomplete documentation that expose practices to audit risk.

Gastroenterology medical billing services from Nexus io help reduce these errors through accurate coding, proper documentation, and timely submissions, minimizing compliance risks.

We address these challenges systematically:

  • Upfront verification: Our team verifies referral letters at scheduling to establish medical necessity from the start.
  • Insurance accuracy: We perform real-time eligibility checks for every appointment and verify CMS coverage rules for procedures like capsule endoscopies before scheduling.
  • Fast-tracked authorizations: We secure prior authorizations within 72 hours, eliminating scheduling delays.
  • Audit-ready documentation: Our team maintains thorough records so your practice stays prepared for payer audits.

Gastroenterology coding requires specialized knowledge. Nexus io streamlines the process so you get paid accurately for every service:

  • Diagnostic colonoscopies (CPT 45378 with appropriate modifiers)
  • Screening vs diagnostic distinctions (HCPCS G0105, G0121)
  • Polyp removal procedures with correct modifier sequencing
  • Multiple procedure coding and bundling rules
  • Conscious sedation documentation requirements

 

All coding staff assigned to your account hold AAPC certification and specialize in GI procedures. Our RCM solution ensures billing that’s efficient, compliant, and accurate.
