I doubt average # of claims per specialty is a useful piece of data simply because each individual doctor's average has so many factors that are unrelated to specialty, such as geography, the type of facility, the patient population, etc. Averaging everything is likely to give you a really blurry picture.
So, If I wanted to view which Doctor's specialty generates, on average, a dollar claim amount. There is no where to find this information. Let me explain my position. One of my instructors indicated that podiatry produces on average a claim amount of $540.00 where as chiropractor generates, on average, a claim amount of $125.00. I am wondering where this instructor would have generated this information.
Yes. The amount charged.
I heard of many medical billers say that mental health industry (as an example) was a pain for them. To much work for so little reimbursement. As a new medical biller how do I know what provider specialty is the better ones to be in.
