Our Revenue Cycle
Management Services
Patient Advocacy Call Center
We believe in being an advocate for patients. Our patient medical billing company, staffed by compassionate and knowledgeable specialists, helps patients resolve issues and misunderstandings. To provide the best support possible, when needed, we conduct conference calls with the patient and their insurance provider to help everyone understand their responsibilities.
Monthly Financial Reporting
Monthly financial reporting is critical to ongoing improvement and monitoring of revenue cycle management activities. We provide a monthly financial reporting package and work with you to design a billing reporting program that best meets your needs.
Insurance Contracting
Our medical billing team provides insurance contracting advice and negotiates payer contracts on your behalf.
Clinical Documentation Education
We work closely with every physician to ensure they are comfortable with the requirements of your hospital’s EHR or EMR software. Our certified documentation education team spends time on-site to conduct group courses on documentation changes and regulations. Beyond that, we work one-on-one with clinicians to provide feedback and support to ensure there is a continual feedback loop between our providers and our medical billing team to maximize reimbursement and revenue.
Physician Billing Enrollment
We handle enrollment paperwork and credentialing to ensure smooth and efficient onboarding.
Chart Processing
Our medical billing team establishes an electronic interface between your EMR and our Chart Management System. We track chart inventory and reconcile charts with your patient log to identify and communicate deficient charts.
Billing
Our medical billing team processes, initiates, and mails all bills to patients and payors within five business days after receiving emergency records.
Coding Services
Let our certified medical coders transform your hospital’s documentation, nurse notes, and lab and radiology results into proper code.
Claims and Statements Management
With a focus on efficiency, we file insurance claims electronically through a clearing house daily, which reviews the claims for accuracy prior to submission.
Bad Debt Management
We work with you to develop an accounts receivable strategy that meets your needs. Anything identified as bad debt will be referred to the collection agency of your choice.
