The medical billing outsourcing market was valued at USD 6.3 billion in 2015 and is anticipated to reach a value of USD 16.9 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Large amount of medical code representation for diagnosis and treatment coupled with the presence of multiple payers renders medical billing an intricate part of any medical practice, posing significant challenges. The challenge mounts when this process mandates adherence to the International Classification of Diseases-10th revision (ICD-10) code along with dealing with rising healthcare costs and declining reimbursements. Challenges in managing in-house billing processes include setbacks experienced in the IT structure, untrained staff, billing errors, and lack of proper financial policy in place. In order to curb or alleviate these challenges, several healthcare providers, such as acute care hospitals and clinics/physician offices, prefer outsourcing their medical billing process. According to studies, in 2015, 95 percent of the independent physicians have acknowledged that outsourcing revenue management is the right decision.Healthcare providers face certain challenges in ascertaining the disadvantages of in-house operation or benefits of outsourcing revenue management operations; hence, they arrived at this decision by implementing thorough assessment and evaluation of the revenue percentage they spend on several billing operations. Currently, the healthcare system is witnessing a subsequent increase in outsourcing of medical billing services by hospitals and physicians. This increase is attributed to factors such as obligatory implementation of complex ICD-10 coding system, increasing healthcare costs, and federal mandate to implement electronic medical records (EMR) to maintain reimbursement levels.
Further more, clinics/physician offices are gradually outsourcing their revenue management to cut unnecessary costs and prevent the burden of managing an administrative team to ensure effective handling of in-house billing functions.
Needless to say, medical billing and coding are essential in order for hospitals and other medical institutions to run effectively and efficiently. It is imperative that patient records and billing matters are handled proficiently and with the up-most integrity.

Medesun primarily focuses on Medical Coding, HL7 and HIPAA Training and also HIM-Healthcare Informatics and provides coding on Health Information System (HIS) as well.
