Medical Coding Services for Healthcare Providers in the USA

Boost Your Revenue with Comprehensive AR Management Solutions in the USA

The entire cash flow of a practice business in the USA depends on the Accounts Receivable. It starts with patients receiving the medical practice services. And ends when a doctor is paid for those treatments. Prime Doc Billing streamlines the entire process from accurate claim submission to denial management. Our goal is to help your company gain a healthy financial position. We ensure maximum revenue by speeding up the payments from respective payers.

Here’s How Our Accounts Receivable Management Services Work

Prime Doc Billing helps you get paid faster to increase your business’s financial health. Our AR Management Service consists of several steps to complete the process on time. Here’s a brief overview of how it works:

Create and Send Claims

The Accounts Receivable process begins with creating claims for insurance companies. Our team first sends the claim to the clearinghouse. If the claim passes validation, it is submitted to the payer. However, if the clearinghouse rejects the claim, our experts review the errors, make the necessary corrections, and resubmit it. If the insurance company denies the claim, our experts analyze the entire process from the beginning. We then determine whether the denial was made in error or if an appeal needs to be submitted.

Accounts Receivable Follow-up

When it comes to receiving overdue payments, two key payers come to mind. The first one is the insurance companies, and the other is the patients themselves. Our company has different strategies for both of them:

Insurance Companies:

Our experts perform consistent follow-up on overdue claims from the insurance companies. We also track claim status to find out whether the claim is under review or denied. Reviewing the status can also identify any missing documentation. We resubmit those documents to handle AR timely.

Patients:

We follow up on the due payments from patients by a step-by-step process:

  • We send out monthly patient statements for three months
  • Our Virtual Assistant then calls them to help make payment through a secure mode
  • If the patient is still unable to pay, they are then sent to the collection agency with the consent of doctor

Denial Identification, and Recovery

Denial identification refers to the process of figuring out the reasons for denial. It can be:

  • Missing documentation
  • Incorrect information
  • Lack of prior authorization
  • Incorrect coding
  • Lack of prior authorization

Once we find out the reason for the denial, it gets easier to correct and resubmit the claims. Our team keeps track of resubmissions to ensure the payment is processed. Our experts recover revenue to maximize reimbursements. A detailed root-cause analysis can prevent claims from denial in the future.

Appeal

If our team does not agree with the denial, we file for an appeal. Sometimes, the insurance accepts the appeal, but other times, it will go unanswered. In that case, we would file an appeal for the second time. Prime Doc Billing remains consistent with getting reimbursements to provide financial health to your practice.

Aging Report Analysis

Prime Doc Billing proves to be an expert in Aging Report Analysis. It refers to understanding how long the payments are due and from which payer. We perform this analysis in 30-day sections. Our team determines the overdue payments in this time bracket to perform follow-ups. This analysis also helps us understand the payer performance by determining which ones are causing frequent delays. Our team sets policies for those payers to avoid such outstanding balances in the future.

Clean-Up of Outstanding AR Backlogs

Our experts resolve the oldest outstanding balances that have been overlooked or delayed. We resubmit those claims after making necessary corrections. The recovery of pending revenue brings cash flow to the provider. Backlog clean-up frees up space and is important for efficient AR management.

Optimizing Outcomes Through CCOF Implementation

Credit Card On File (CCOF) refers to storing a patient’s credit card information in the software. We take patients’ consent to store their credentials and automatically charge them for outstanding balances. Our team sets the payment deduction strategy according to the mutual payment plan made. CCOF implementation saves the time and effort of sending the invoices first, and then waiting for them to pay. However, it requires a particular training to work efficiently with CCOF. Prime Doc Billing uses CCOF to streamline your revenue by ensuring faster claim processing and improved cash flow for your medical practice.

Utilizing the HCFA 1500 Form: A Critical Tool for Accounts Receivable

The HCFA 1500 or CMS 1500 is the form that we use to bill federal (Medicare and Medicaid) and private insurance companies. It contains:

  • The patients’ and providers’ demographics
  • Services rendered
  • ICD and CPT diagnosis codes
  • Fee structure.

Prime Doc Billing efficiently uses this form to maintain a healthy Accounts Receivable cycle. We can manage funds and increase the reimbursement process with the help of this form.

Why AR Management Matters for Medical Practices

AR management improves the financial health of the providers. We use proactive AR management to recover most of what the payers owe you. Our goal is to make the revenue cycle as short as possible for faster claims and reimbursements. The overall metrics of Accounts Receivable management vary from aging reports to collection ratios. Our team utilizes this information to understand the practice’s financial performance. We make the most of it in strategic planning and better decision-making for a better cash flow. We also recover old and lost revenue, giving your practice strong financial health. Prime Doc Billing guarantees systemized AR management services to make your practice thrive.
