When it comes to health, each of us becomes anxious as well as careless at the same time. One always wants to know how healthy he is and does he hold any disease. At the same time, we let ourselves uncared and unattended. So now is the time to talk about your health and the care you can get. When we talk about health it will be stamina, robustness, spryness, hygiene, etc. and every word attached here holds a very consolidate meaning in itself.
In the world surrounded by ongoing and upcoming waves of the global pandemic, management of health care became a very tough task to work on; and because of that various primary bodies along with so many secondary and tertiary bodies Collab together for some satisfactory outcomes.
But the point here is this process safe enough to get regulated.
Everything do comes with a price!!
And one must know where the pitfall lies.
It’s not that the process of healthcare outsourcing came into existence during the pandemic but it got uplifted to a much greater extent through a hard time.
We all need a bigger piece of sky, when the need arise.
The superiority of outsourcing lies in many aspects, one of which is medical billing procedures and data entry services.
Here when a reputed company gets recruited by a primary body there is a chance of an increase in revenue and hence a potential profit is seen through the process. But to grant a huge task to a company full of strangers requires a tonne of faith and courage, and in a world where every other person is searching for that one breakthrough in their career…all they have to do is to wait for the right opportunity to make it , despite of knowing the fact that their company is not capable to fulfil the criteria made by the primary body.
Medical Billing requires lots of data including personal information of patients , and just for a slight reduction in billing cost; the patient cannot afford to give access to info to a body who’s not fully trustable.
In 2022, “ US DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH” gave information about the ransomware cases filed and the top ransomware groups were from U.S.
- A total of 82 ransomware cases were filed worldwide impacting the health care services and making people doubt the
- 48 out of 82 cases were from US and the top 5 states were California, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and
- The percentage of data leaked of them was 72%. Rest data were back to the company after demanding
34% of health organizations were hitted by these ransomeware incident frome 03/2021 to 03/2022.
The top emerging companies of India in the field of medical Billing are BOSS healthcare and NISOS healthcare.
Production and supply of drugs to a pharmacy is another such aspect of superiority in outsourcing.
So many brands of pharmaceuticals provide large no. of formulations in the market globally but the production of drugs is not necessarily in the unit of that brand. They hire other laboratories to work for and manufacture medicaments for them.
For this type of outsourcing, companies must be big on trust and these brands go through the reports of audit examination for a better understanding of the process and working criteria of the company.
For audit examination, every little detail is recorded manually or through technologies for a certain level of trust.
- Financial Express healthcare said that the manufacturing and development of pharmaceuticals by giving the contract to 3rd parties will get double in the next five They said that the current market size of India in manufacturing contract-related medicament is 20,000 crores and it will become 40,000 crores in the next five years.
- Also, around 70% of pharmaceutical products come into the market through Contract developing and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs)
- AKUMs drugs and pharmaceuticals (Delhi) is one of the companies in India giving pharmaceutical products in the market through CDMOs
Today’s technology is empowering every other person in the health care industry may it be doctors, nurses, or pharmacists, all together to contribute according to their level of superiority and help each other so that they could guide the one who needs guidance and care.
The right person is needed for the Right Job.
Telepath outsourcing is done by using the help of technology along with health care professionals so that the reach is not limited to a certain place or time zone.
- The Harris Pell (by American Well) reported that a good percentage. (approx. 65%) of people prefer to take advice from a Primary Care provider (PCP) via video. It’s because they provide more efficient and faster service and also provide adequate knowledge to the patients, and patients with traveling or mobility issues need not to stress over the fact to consult doctors because an easy door of technology will always be there! The company here has the right person to do the right job, that is physicians for diagnosis of disease, pharmacists for prescribing meds, and nurses for proper advisory and caution things. Also, people can choose their physicians well
Fusion BPO services(India) is one such company to provide these benefits listed above for people all over the Country.
The only demerit here is the time difference. It is difficult to provide guidance and care throughout the globe because of the time factor but one must admit that not every system is fully efficient and every system has some loopholes.
Medical Coding!!!
A/C to signs and symptoms denoting.
When a particular code gets assigned to a particular medical term for ease of addressing things and billing procedures, then that particular code will be called a medical code.
Codes get assigned according to the patient’s condition or health care services.
Diagnostic codes are the codes that describe the need to seek the consultancy or the disease and , procedure codes got assigned to address the treatment or services required for that disease. For these coding jobs, the companies provide various training programs for a better understanding of the job.
Many a time these jobs are chaotic and stressful with all the codes and coding system but it provides a worthy output as it makes the billing process way easier and less time-consuming: One such company in India is AGS Health which provides these jobs.

National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF)is a body that covers all health insurance-related issues and the people who need health services need to request online for the services they require before the treatment.
For cases of emergencies, the contract has certain rules and regulations and according to that, the insurance works.
When the request is received by National Health Insurance Fund it gets into action within 48 hours and then the patient gets a notification through a message.
If the prior authorization is not done before the treatment then the insurance company dares to deny to cover the cost of services or treatment as per the contract of services or treatment.
Prior authorization must be kept in mind. Or else, every price paid will fall behind.

Or else the whole healthcare system will fall hardest hit.

This should be undone for a better healthcare system. The right person must be there to do the right job.
For a healthcare system to be ideally qualified for services and care patients needs and starve for; outsourcing company came out to be a better and beneficiary system in the present scenario, 2023
All the queries that were there during the discussion got resolved by just stating the facts given by particular organizations conducting surveys throughout the year to provide an accurate understanding.
An outsourcing company works on some basic values like –
Integrity:- As a truly integral company Showing complete transparency to the primary body is only allowed to be a part of that body.
Commitment: – As a company must know how to push its boundaries to provide quality work. Innovation: -A company should always be ready to try new things to get more outcomes from fewer resources.
Compassion: – A company should be passionate about the work and target they get and take off any dispute may it be personal or professional because it affects the quality of work handed over to the primary body.
Outsourcing is done So that the responsibility which was carried out earlier carried by a single body gets divided into parts and given to various private bodies so that one can get quality results.
Still,
When somebody got to ask. – what’s healthcare outsourcing’s Ultimate aim? We’ll say, Undivided attention from professionals is the Final game.
