5 THINGS ABOUT PHARMACY BILLING & RE-
IMBURSEMENTS
Are you a physician with multiple offices? If the answer is yes, it is good to dispense
medications directly from your practice. It will add to your source of additional revenue
and also offer a welcome convenience to your patients.
As the healthcare sector works in an ever-changing domain, dispensing medications from
your practice can prove to be a bit complicated. However, if you want to try dispensing
medication as a part of your practice, you need to understand every process involved.
Learning about these procedures will also help you get familiarized with various options
that can simplify the dispensing medication process for you.

Optimal Data Workflow
It is essential to know how pharmacies balance their revenue with
the expenses and bill their claims. This will help you maintain a
sustainable dispensing program for your practice and keep the
avenues of growth open for your pharmacy business. Moreover,
ensure that the entire process is controlled and monitored,
starting from procurement to inventory, storage to dispensing, and
finally closing the revenue cycle with proper and accurate billing
and reimbursement. All the information needed to handle the
process must also be entered accurately to avoid errors that can
create costly and time-consuming denials.

Compliance, Rules, and Regulations
The most volatile space in terms of standards and legalities is the
healthcare sector, especially anything that involves medication.
Unless you are not up-to-date with the constantly changing drug-
related CMS regulations, you pose a risk of being non-compliant in
your practice. This can also result in a denial of reimbursement by
the payers. To avoid such a concern, pharmacies must follow the
present CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes assigned for
performing Medication Therapy Management (MTM). It is also
crucial to include the NPI for both the pharmacies and the
prescribers on all the claims.

Procurement
Procurement is the level where the information moves from referring to purchased
quantities and the pricing for the same that denotes the storage units of measure
(UoM) and the inventory costs. Mostly, the data is entered manually. In fact, the
figures uploaded from the wholesale distributors to the pharmacy system are also
checked manually to avoid errors. This is because the potential source of mistakes
is data transfer that can impact the revenue cycle management.
Coding
Another point of attention required to eliminate the occurrence of costly errors is
coding. Make sure that drugs have appropriate HCPCS coding and should be
adequately represented in the chargemaster; otherwise, it will lead to no or low
reimbursement. These are pharmacy charge description master, a starting point for
the medical billing of payers and patients. The key is to convert the quantities of
the pharmaceutical from purchased amounts to patient-monitoring quantities.

The linkage between Billing & Purchases
There are different processes in the hospitals for ordering, administrating,
and reimbursement procedures for the drugs. In such a scenario,
pharmacies within the hospitals are usually called upon to reconcile the
links between the drug expenses and the chargemaster. But this creates a
scope for improper reimbursement. Instead, having a system that can
simplify the entire process of medication dispensing operation can be of
great help.
Moreover, patients would find it more convenient to obtain their
medications directly from their physicians. This will not only save their trip
to the pharmacy but also assured them of timely handling of their queries.
When you have an efficient pharmacy billing and reimbursement practice,
you can make your healthcare practice more profitable and a great source
of revenue.
