Our Proccess
Charges and Demo
In this department, we have reliable individuals who first enter the patient personal information from the
demographic sheets. They then check for the relationship of the Diagnosis and CPT code. Then they create a charge, according to the billing rules pertaining to the specific carriers and locations. All charges are accomplished within our agreement with the client.
Patient Billing
After the received payments have been applied, the patients are billed for deductible, co-pay, and co-insurance or for any non covered service, if payment is not received after 3 statements; we refer the patients account to our collection agency (per provider instructions). When billing the patient directly, it is important that the bill contains any and all information pertaining to entire transaction and making sure this information is accurate and clear is done in order to ensure the patient understands his or her financial responsibility, and will help avoid any potential complication in receiving reimbursement from the patient
Accounts Receivable Call
Revenue Management is the most significant feature in the business of Healthcare. Our expertise in AR calling constantly focus on enhance the revenue management and cash flow by reducing the accounts receivable days and bad debit. Many healthcare providers have tried managing accounts receivables, in the process ended up mismanaging the whole thing, resulting in reduced cash flow and increased collection cost and negligence. Our account receivable service improves cash flow, reduces account receivables, increases collection ratios, and enhances customer relationships with timely Accounts Receivable Follow-Up Service.
Review of EOB'S/ERA’S
The carrier Utilization Review department would then review the claim. Once the review is completed, the claim would then be adjudicated and processed for payment. Then the EFT and ERA is sent electronically. Once we have received the explanation of benefits it is reviewed to make sure every single line item have been process and paid accurately. If any inaccuracies are detected the insurance companies are called immediately to review the claim or appeals are files for reconsideration of the unpaid claim
Audit & Claims Submission
The daily charge entry then needs to be audited to double check the accuracy of this entry, in other words, this is the check and balance to make certain the billing rule is being followed accurately. Also this department verifies the accuracy of the claims based on carrier requirements to be sure we have a clean claim. The transmission department prepares a list of claims that go out on paper or through electronic media. Once claims are transmitted electronically, confirmation reports are obtained which are filed after all verification processes, transmission rejections are analyzed and appropriate corrective action is taken. Paper claims are printed and attachments are done, and put into envelopes and sent to the US postal service for mailing.
