Today, many physicians find their medical practice or facilities generating expected or growing monthly charges but are not realizing the same growth in their reoccurring cash flow.
Unless specific and consistent active accounts receivable follow up on the current billings is initiated, it is common to find a provider with excessive amounts in medical A/R that are greater than 180 days outstanding.
Usually the volume of outstanding claims and the time it takes to research, correct, appeal, and/or re-file the claims will take much longer than anticipated. A limited number of staff devoted to this task will not be able to accomplish the goal, which is to substantially reduce/eliminate the outstanding A/R and collect as much money as possible in a short period of time.
The medical A/R program offered by Medcross overcomes the problems that traditionally hinder collection efforts by the individual providers. Medcross pursues these accounts by assigning a full team of individuals to "blitz" them.
We utilize experienced, well-trained individuals in the medical billing process as our collectors. Most of these employees have years of experience in medical billing collections and coding.
Electronic secondary claims submission and electronic funds transfer (EFT) are two other capabilities that have allowed our practice to shorten reimbursement turnaround substantially. On an average, payments are received and entered within 14 days which has helped our average days in A/R drop to 30 - representing a 63 per cent decline. Days in A/R greater than 90 days also has dropped to just seven per cent, less than half of what it was before implementing new systems.
In addition to speeding reimbursement, we have also been able to improve the accuracy of our revenue cycle process. With the edits available in our clearing house solution, we catch any claim errors and correct them prior to submitting claims to the insurance company. This has helped reduce denials and eliminated work for billing staff on the backend. Despite denials, the ‘plain English’ message information and a knowledge base resource make it easier for billing staff to research and correct problems. The result: our net collections have improved by 11 per cent, reaching 98 per cent overall.
We have centralized our billing office and process about 300 claims everyday. Despite additional clinical staff and larger claims volume, we have been able to efficiently manage our revenue cycle processes and are doing this with less full-time equivalent (FTE) revenue cycle staff. While previously we employed one FTE at each practice location for charge entry alone, we now have one FTE to enter all payments and handle denials for locations across. Additionally, we shifted one FTE from folding and mailing paper claims to a more productive, revenue-generating role.
Electronic remittance advice (ERA) functionality has increased staff efficiency, especially when it comes to processing claims for Medicare, one of our main payers. While it would take an entire eight-hour shift to manually enter one Medicare EOB batch, payments are now posted and EOBs attached with the click of a button. Because all EOBs are filed electronically, there is no wastage in locating documents. We also leverage our clearing house technology to check patient enrollment and eligibility in real time, prior to service. The technology helps staff work smarter and focus attention on patients who ‘fall out’ of the verification system. Automated eligibility verification has cut down on our correspondence time with insurance companies while staff seldom needs to call and wait on hold to get an insurance question answered.
