    Charges Entry

    Charge entry is the process of assigning to the patient account an appropriate value as per the chosen medical codes and corresponding fee schedule. The reimbursements for the healthcare provider's services are dependent on the charges entered for the medical services performed. Our team has well-developed experience in handling charge entries for different specialties. The charge entry team enters the charge into the client's medical billing system based on specific rules. The team captures all related information from superbills, like locations, authorizations, places of service, ICD codes, modifiers, etc. Well-trained medical billing professionals can send these claims to payers in a timely manner. Our systematic entry process eliminates rejections and reduces denials. That is why outsourcing medical billing ensures greater precision and cost savings for medical billing companies. The pending document will be sent to clients on a daily basis for query clarification. The final charges are audited by the quality team, and clean claims are sent to insurance companies.

    Billing & Rejections

    Denied claims are defined as claims that were received and processed by the payer and a negative determination was made and the rejected medical claim usually contains one or more errors that were found before the claim was ever processed or accepted by the payer. Our Billing experts are knowledgeable about preparing invoices. Our billing experts consider themselves responsible for the submission of claims to insurance companies and also ensure that the payments for medical services are received in a timely manner.

  • Our Billing team Management track and analyze trends in payer denials and rejections. Categorize these denials and rejections and work on how to fix these issues at full tilt.
  • We train billing staff to handle rejections swiftly and provide training on handling denials.
  • Quality experts schedule routine chart audits for documenting quality to identify problems and trends before claims submission.
  • Payment Posting

    Payment posting is one of the most vital steps in the medical billing process, and it is also a crucial component of revenue cycle management. Payment posting allows medical practices to receive full payment in the most expeditious manner possible.

  • Our payment posting team gets a clear insight into insurance payments through EOBs (Explanation of Benefits), Insurance checks through ERAs (Electronic Remittance Advice), and payments from patients. With a large number of payments to be posted every day, an efficient posting process provides a better understanding of the day-to-day financial status. It helps in better flow of cash.
  • Our Payment posting team is closely associated with the denial management team so that any rework/rebilling happen significantly.
  • Account Receivable Follow-up

    Our accounts receivable follow-up team is responsible for looking after denied claims and reprocessing them to receive maximum reimbursement from the insurance companies. There is a massive amount of work to be done before the physician can claim an amount from the insurance firm. So, we have divided an A/R team comprised of two departments -

    A/R Analytics

    A/R Follow up

  • The A/R analytics team is responsible for studying and analyzing denied claims as well as partial payments. Also, if any claim is found to have a coding error, the A/R team corrects it and resubmits the claim.
  • The A/R follow-up team, on the other hand, constantly communicates with patients, healthcare service providers, and insurance firms and takes necessary actions based on their feedback or responses.
  • Denial Analysis & Management

    Managing denials is one of the most important components of the health revenue cycle. When insurance companies are denying an average of 9% of claims submitted, in order to ensure a healthy cash flow, healthcare organizations need to focus mainly on the root cause and denial prevention. A good approach is to understand the different types of medical billing denials, pinpoint the most common billing problems and take steps to avoid them.

    We have the best denial management team that resolves the issue and send the claim for reprocessing. They establish a tendency between the individual payer Codes and common denial reason codes. This trend monitoring helps to uncover weaknesses in the billing, enrollment, and medical coding process that are then corrected to reduce future refusals.
