What diseases and disorders does an Endocrinologist treat?
In order to know about it, first, let’s see what disorders and services require this sort of billing. As there are a variety of organs that are involved in the endocrine system, endocrinologists are involved in treating various health disorders and diseases. Endocrinologists are even involved in providing care to patients with cancer of the endocrine system. Here are the most common health disorders and diseases that endocrinologists frequently treat:
- Hyperlipidemia
- Osteoporosis
- Hypertension
- Diabetes mellitus
- Thyroid diseases (hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism)
Other than that, endocrinologists are also involved in the treatment of patients with the following endocrine health problems:

What are the Challenges of Medical Billing for Endocrinology?
Suppose a practice has the specialty of endocrinology. In that case, they not only have to deal with the issues of medical practice but also with unique issues that are related to this specific field!
Front Office Scheduling
The patients that endocrinologists often see are the patients who are referred to by other physicians. This is why it is very important that the original examination information and diagnosis information should be documented accurately with usual intake processing. If this information is inaccurate, then the claim will be rejected or denied. The process of billing endocrinology, similar to other medical billing processes, starts right from the moment when the patient or some medical office schedules the appointment. This is why your practice or the medical billing company should have specialized coders who know the practices involved in endocrinology.
Managing Denied and Rejected Claims
Insurance companies or payers usually do not adjust the minor errors or inconsistencies in claims. This is the reason that even the minor variation from the records of the patient will result in claim rejection. In addition, if there is some information in the claim that fails to match with the expected treatment will result in claim denial. These rejected and denied claims are a big problem for a medical practice as it takes hours of in-house staff to correct and appeal these rejected or denied claims. This process puts a serious drain on the finances of the practice.
Detailed Codes for Common Actions
Medical codes are constantly changing and updating, and they also differ from payer to payer. This is why medical billers and coders need to stay updated regarding all the coding updates. Endocrinology medical billing also involves very detailed coding.
For instance, if the treatment requires some sort of vaccine, it would require a different code, and there is a different code for flu shots; the quadrivalent or trivalent needs to be specified.
In addition, there are different codes for living as well as split viruses. At the same time, there are different codes that specify whether the patient was 6 to 35 months of age or three years and older.
Also, there are different codes for intramuscular or intranasal administration. This is why the coder should have not only training in general medical coding but also endocrinology coding in order to avoid errors made in claims. The UControl endocrinology medical billing services are provided by professional coders and billers!
What is an Endocrinologist?
An Endocrinologist is a physician who is well trained in Osteopathy (DO) or Allopathic medicine (MD). In short, we can say that these medical specialists are well trained for treating, diagnosing, and taking care of disorders and diseases that are related to the Endocrine system Gland, hormones, and Hormone imbalances.
In addition to treating these disorders, the endocrinology specialists are also involved in clinical research challenges in order to improve patient care. This is why ensuring efficient billing for getting reimbursement for the provided services as well as for appropriate patient care becomes challenging for endocrinologists. This is where UControl Billing can help a medical practice in striking the right balance with our billing endocrinology services.
Why would you see an Endocrinologist?
In endocrinology, there are a wide variety of organs involved. All the organs secret some sort of hormone in your body. The most common organs involved in the hormone secretion process include the Thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, Thyroid gland, pituitary gland, pineal gland, pancreas, hypothalamus, testicles, ovaries and thymus.
Some endocrine dysfunctions can be easily treated by just taking some supplements or avoiding medications, like birth control pills.
Nevertheless, when an individual has a disease or hormonal disorder in any of the above-mentioned organs, it is then time to see an endocrinologist.
You can visit an endocrinologist and get the treatment and care needed by having a referral from a physician of general practice health or from a primary care doctor at a health service location or clinic.
The practices that offer the specialty of Endocrinology often require outsourcing endocrinology medical billing services from a third party!
