Healthcare claims processing is one of those behind-the-scenes operations that can make or break a medical practice’s financial health. You know the scenario: claims pile up, denials eat into revenue, and your in-house team is drowning in paperwork while trying to keep up with constantly changing insurance regulations. It’s exhausting, expensive, and frankly, it’s keeping you from focusing on what really matters. Patient care.
Why Healthcare Claims Processing Needs Dedicated Expertise
Here’s what makes claims processing such a beast: it’s not just data entry. Your claims processors need to understand medical coding, insurance guidelines, payer requirements, and compliance regulations. They need to catch errors before submission, follow up on denials, and navigate the maze of different insurance portals and systems.According to a time-driven activity-based costing study published in JAMA in 2025, billing and insurance-related administrative activities cost between $20 for a primary care visit and up to $215 for an inpatient surgical procedure—amounting to approximately $99,581 in billing-related costs annually per primary care physician in an academic health system.1. That’s real money that could be going toward patient care or practice growth.
