Case Study on Full Service Billing for an Urgent Care Practice

Case Study on AdvancedMD Software Billing

The Customer:

Our customer's clinic started in the year 2005, in response to the growing need for high quality and convenient medical care in a warm, friendly environment. Some of their treatments include:

  • Colds, coughs and flu
  • Cuts and bruises
  • Ear aches and infections
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Burns, rashes and bites
  • Sprains and strains
  • Vomiting and diarrhoea
  • Allergies and asthma

They have 1 Doctor who works on a full time basis and 2 Doctors who work on a part time basis.

The Project:

The customer's accounts receivables was getting older and they didn't have the time or resources to handle them. The customer finally approached Outsource2india in September 2007 when all their in-house efforts failed to manage their A/R in a cost effective manner. The customer also faced problems in billing like:

  • The billing was not completed within 24 hours
  • Steep decrease in collections
  • Inconsistent cash flow

The customer wanted to hand over full service billing to Outsource2india in 2 months if they were satisfied with our AR follow-up capabilities.

The following was their AR structure before Outsource2india was contacted.

The Solution

  • The customer signed up in just 1 month for full service billing after gaining confidence in the way Outsource2india did AR follow-ups with insurance companies
  • A dedicated account manager and team were deputed to handle the account
  • The team consisted of full time employees for medical billing, medical coding and an AR specialist
  • Outsource2india developed a medical billing process and an AR process to make sure that billing takes place within 24 hours after the doctor has seen the patient
  • Outsource2india followed-up on denied, underpaid and unpaid claims
  • Issues with insurance companies were addressed and resolved quickly
  • Outsource2india maintained a knowledge base of issues and solutions and documented them in a business process manual

The Results

By outsourcing medical billing to Outsource2india, the customer was able to:

  • Witness that the average AR days were brought down from 34 to 23 days within 6 months
  • Witness that the collection percentage increased from 53% to 61% within 6 months
  • Experience significant improvement in the cash flow as a result of an increase in collection ratios
  • Concentrate on patient care and see more patients, with the availability of more time and a clutter-free office
  • Enable employees to focus on core business aspects, instead of billing related tasks
  • Eliminate fluctuations associated with backlogged claims and employee turnover
  • Increase operating efficiency and reduce administrative costs

The following statistics will show how Outsource2india made tremendous improvements in increasing collections and making the cash flow consistent for the customer.

  • In the 0-30 days bucket, the percentage gradually increases towards the end
  • In the 91-120 days bucket, the percentage gradually decreases towards the end
  • In the 120+ bucket, the percentage tremendously decreases towards the end
