Outstanding claims, delayed collections place added administrative strain on a hospital or physician's practice. On one hand, insurance companies often deny claims or refuse to pay them. On the other hand, federal regulations have become increasingly more stringent in the USA. Recently the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that they would reduce the time physicians are given to file an appeal against a claim denial - from six months to 120 days. This increases the pressure on the staff at your healthcare practice to follow up on denied or appealed claims.
If your healthcare practice has healthcare accounts receivables, this means it has delivered a service but has yet to collect the money from the purchaser.
We will use Medicare as an example but this could apply to Medicaid or other third party insurance companies as well.
Medicare claims get denied mainly for the following reasons.
As you can see, some of the main reasons for claims denials are incorrect/incomplete data entry and incorrect medical coding.
Outsource2india helps you avoid payment delays from Medicare as well as from other third-party insurance payers by following these steps:
1. We review all claims before submission This cuts down significantly on the error rate. We spend time on reviews at the front end, rather than spend a longer time later to deal with each denial.
2. We maintain a billing and coding claims review log We track the trends for each healthcare service provider, based on the remittance advice from Medicare as well as the EOBs (Explanations of Benefits) from all third-party payers. We monitor and evaluate these trends to find ways to fix the problems causing the denials and rejections for your practice.
3. We do a monthly billing review All the staff involved in the accounts receivable function, ie: those who perform tasks such as data entry, coding and documentation, billing and payment posting, analyzing denials and down codings get together once a month to review:
