What Challenges Do Pediatricians Face in Reimbursement?
Several challenges can affect pediatric reimbursement:
1. Low Reimbursement Rates: Particularly from Medicaid, which may not fully cover the cost of providing care. 2. Complex Billing Processes: Pediatricians often deal with multiple payers, each with different billing requirements. 3. Administrative Burden: Extensive paperwork and claim processing can take time away from patient care.
