Medical Billing News From ClaimCare

In kicking-off 2012, Money & Business, the online magazine that provides comprehensive coverage of business and personal financial matters, named the ClaimCare Medical Billing Company among the top five online medical billing companies. Independent researcher/writer Michele Wyan, listing the top five companies in alphabetical order, was impressed with ClaimCare’s track record, extensive experience and proven ability to serve all medical specialties nationwide.

The researcher, mirroring ClaimCare’s mission “To collect the maximum revenue for your practice as fast as possible while helping to alleviate costs and hassle for your organization,” spotlighted a couple of ClaimCare’s many positive attributes:

1. A guarantee that 85% of charges will be resolved within 60 days and that 95% of charges will be resolved within 120 days.
2. The submission of claims within one weekday of receiving documentation of a patient encounter. If ClaimCare misses a claim submission deadline, the client is reimbursed for the missed claim.

ClaimCare’s CEO/President Carl Mays II says, “This recognition is greatly appreciated because it reflects the dedicated hard work and the consistent, conscientious attention to detail that ClaimCare employees provide in order to serve our clients and to accomplish our mission. We are also quite proud of the fact that we have the ability to work on all major medical billing systems such as Centricity, eCW, NextGen, eMDs, Sage, Greenway, Misys, etc.”

ClaimCare is proud to announce a new service offering for Practices who do their billing in-house  - Old AR Clean-Up and Denial Management.  This new service will enable Practices who do not want to outsource their entire billing (or who are temporarily short-handed) to capitalize on ClaimCare's deep expertise with insurance follow-up, patient collections and billing processes.  

"This is a great way for a Practice whose billing process is fundamentally sound but has room for improvement to quickly capture the collections that are tied up in old AR, receive targeted and actionable feedback on their billing process, and potentially gain concrete, lasting insights and improvements in their billing," stated Carl Mays II, President of ClaimCare, in a recent interview.

With ClaimCare's AR Clean-Up and Denial Management service, Practices will receive:

1. A seasoned insurance and patient follow-up team to work all of their AR over 60 days old - this frees the Practice's staff to focus on the current billing instead of getting bogged down with working the old AR;
2. Feedback on the Practice's coding;
3. Feedback on the Practice's adjustments (i.e., are charges being adjusted off that are actually payable);
4. Feedback on the Practice's overall billing processes (e.g., poor insurance verification that leads to significant delays or denials, pin-pointing codes that are consistently denied, solving pre-authorization problems, etc); and (if you choose).....
5. A series of dashboard reports for the Practice that will provide an on-going, easy to use reporting mechanism for the Office Manager to more effectively oversee the Practice's AR.

"The reason that we call this a ‘denial management service' as well as Old AR Clean-Up, is because of the long-term improvements that ClaimCare's feedback and coaching will provide to the Practice," Mr. Mays explained recently.  He went on to say, "This program really provides the Practice with the best combination of AR recover and expert consulting - but "hands-on" consulting from a team who is actually working your old AR --- not just spending a few hours or a couple of days reviewing a sample of your charges or AR."

ClaimCare Medical Billing Services introduces a suite of front-desk payment tools that drives down bad-debt, accelerate collection of patient balances and provides automatic insurance verification. ClaimCare's complete front-end solution starts working before the patient even arrives in your office by automatically verifying the patient's insurance information. Next, after the patient has seen the physician the tool provides you with a patient statement that shows exactly what the patient will owe for the services provided that day. This takes into account the patients co-insurance, deductible met for the year and the allowables from your payer contracts. With this feature the patient's full payment can be collected before they ever leave the office. Finally, if they cannot pay in full at the time of service then you can set them up on an automatic payment plan. Our system will debit the patient's checking account, debit card or credit card each month (or week) until the patient has paid in full.

With this suite of tools patient billing is virtually eliminated. The patient leaves the office having paid the full balance for their service. Once the insurance has adjudicated the account is paid in full, with no need for sending a single patient statement.

With the rising deductibles and growing co-insurance amounts it is critical to become more proactive with collecting patient balances. With this tool bad debt can be almost completely eliminated.
