Billing Errors Cost

  • Apr 20

Most practitioners know that billing errors cost money. Few realise how much.


In private healthcare, a single incorrect ICD-10 code can delay payment by months. A missed NAPPI code can result in a partial claim rejection. Accumulated across hundreds of monthly claims, the revenue impact is significant and often invisible without proper oversight.


At SPESprac Holdings, our medical billing and bureau support teams specialise in identifying and recovering exactly this kind of lost revenue. We commonly find:


— Undercoded procedures that reduce claim value

— Missed modifier codes that reduce reimbursements

— Claims submitted beyond medical aid time limits

— Incomplete patient information causing rejections


Proper billing is not just an admin task. It is an income protection function.


The practices that treat billing as a strategic priority consistently outperform those that don't, in revenue recovered, cash flow stability, and time spent on rejections.


Does your current billing process give you full visibility into claim outcomes?
