For example, payers that we deal with and the information pertaining to whether the client is In-Network or Out-Of-Network would determine how a claim has to be submitted to maximize collections and avoid rejections. With experience and attention to details, incorrect categorization may be easily avoided. However, many associates do not categorize information properly before submission leading to rejections.

With time, charge entry jobs could turn out to be a routine job. This routine nature most often causes associates to incorrectly enter charges. Most often than not, these are inadvertent and due to negligence. However, such errors could cost the provider time and money.

Revenue Cycle Management involves large amount of information, procedures, and updates. All of this information has to be recorded and organized so that they form the knowledge base for the organization. If this piece of valuable knowledge is not reviewed periodically and if it goes unused, it is as good as no knowledge. This kind of omission could lead to errors and affect collections.

This is one major issue most providers face regardless of whether they have their billing offices in-house or outsourced. While errors cannot be completely prevented, it is always possible to pay attention to and comply with client requirements. Failure to do so will eventually affect efficiency and lead to client frustration.

The primary reason for aged claims is incorrect submission of claims or lack of negotiating skills. This leads to rejections. If appeals are not made on time it further increases the operational costs and bleeds the finances of the providers.

Understanding and following legal guidelines is very important in Revenue Cycle Management. If systems are switched without proper thought, guidelines changed, or if administration standards are compromised, one may end up attracting audits. It is always better to comply than to end up facing undesired consequences.

Most Issues with Revenue Cycle management affect the providers in three significant ways

  1. Loss of Revenue
  2. Loss of time
  3. Additional stress

Our primary objective is to eliminate all of these issues for the providers. We will do any kind of negotiation with the payer. We will function as the billing consultants allowing the providers to focus on medical care without worrying about the hassles of collections.

Providers have a choice of either doing their Revenue Cycle Management in-house or outsourcing it to professional companies. While errors cannot be eliminated the question really is how much is acceptable?

When RCM is done in-house, it involves managing an efficient team. Office administration and operations management will consume too much of doctors’ time. The real question is, “Is it worth the time and effort when there are professional companies who will carry out Revenue Cycle Management for you?”

If the challenges of in-house revenue management are hitting you hard and if you are considering outsourcing your Revenue Cycle Management Services, there are plenty of professional billing companies that you can choose from.

What makes us different is that we do RCM differently and so are our offerings. We pledge to the saying “It’s not the years, honey; it’s the mileage.” – Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark

Over the years, we have learnt so much that we precisely know what works and what does not. We continue to learn each day and our understanding of various functions within RCM is very clear. Our principled workforce gives utmost importance to work ethics and the derivative is customer delight.
