Having the right tools makes all the difference in any job. In today’s world, being a medical billing company that still relies on paper-based processes is like being a carpenter who doesn’t use power tools. Cloud-based practice management software and other medical billing software solutions let you automate routine tasks and basic billing functions, freeing up your employees’ time for focusing on the work that requires a real human touch. It’s important that your PM software can handle both CMS-1500 and UB-04 forms, for professional and institutional billing. This will save time, minimize errors and maximize reimbursements.
Consistent and tracked follow-ups turn delinquent claims into paid claims. It’s well worth assigning a staff member to review accounts and determine which claims are not being paid on time—and why. You might uncover communication issues or repeated billing errors that can be remedied to prevent future issues.
An important part of revenue cycle management is the timely submission of claims, which means quick and accurate CPT coding. Good coding practices help claims to be processed quickly and decrease denials from insurers. This is another area where good PM software plays a major role, as it can assist with code entry and automatically ensure codes have been added correctly. Ensuring everything is accurate before submitting a claim is one of the best ways to mitigate denied claims and improve your revenue cycle.
Data is everything these days, and monitoring KPIs and other important analytics is essential business for medical billing companies. Again, your PM software should make this easy by providing a comprehensive and easy-to-use dashboard for navigating data. You should be able to see things like the time it takes for a claim to be processed, all denied claims and the reasons they were denied, the amount of outstanding claims you have at the moment, and more. The more you understand the data behind your operation, the more effective and efficient you can become.
