Medical Claims Submission Process - 8 Steps

The medical billing process flowchart at O2I follows a series of clearly defined steps with a complete focus on accuracy, quality and process audits. The following are the steps involved in the medical billing process at O2I -

1. Claims Transmission to O2I - The hospital forwards the claims to our medical billing team digitally or via courier. The medical claim is supported by patient details such as charge sheets, a copy of the insurance card, demographics, insurance verification data, super bills, and any other patient related information. All such documentation is then uploaded to our secure FTP server for access by our expert staff.
2. Retrieval and Checking of Medical Claims by our Team - Once the documents are retrieved, they are checked for legibility and completeness. If necessary, the hospital billing office is notified so that any discrepancies can be solved.
3. Medical Coding - An important step in the medical claims submission process is fixing the procedure and diagnoses codes for each patient based on standards like CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases). The level of service determines the associated 5-digit procedure code; the diagnosis code is based on the medical diagnosis made by the doctor.
4. Charge Creation - Incomplete or incorrect information is the number one cause of medical claim rejections. Our expert medical billing professionals will guard against this by careful attention to detail. We create appropriate medical claims based on billing rules pertaining to specific carriers and locations. All medical claims are created within agreed turnaround times - generally 24 hours. The medical claims are checked for complete information, correct procedures and correct diagnosis codes.
5. Medical Claims Audit - A thorough medical claims audit is done at multiple levels within O2I.
6. Medical Claims Transmission - Medical claims are filed for follow up before they are sent electronically to the claims transmission department with all relevant information.
7. Claims Submission to Insurance Agencies - The audited, listed and recorded medical claims are now printed out and dispatched to the appropriate insurance agencies. Any necessary attachments or supporting documents that may be required for ultimate settlement are included.
8. Follow-up and Settlement - In this final stage our expert medical billing team follows up with the insurers and payment agencies until the final settlement is disbursed.

Medical records of patients at a hospital contain demographic details about the patient, summary of his medical history, summary of diagnoses and regular medical updates on each physician visit. The patient settles the payment by submission of his medical insurance details at the hospital front desk. It is implied that the hospital or healthcare facility receives the final payment only when the insuring agency settles the claim.
