Submissions of Claims

Submission of claims is vital in the overall RCM process because the reimbursement directly depends on it. There are possibilities that repayments will be reduced or outright denied if this process is mismanaged. Once the biller prepares the claims and files with the insurance companies via EDI clearinghouse. The clearinghouse applies scrubbing technologies to ensure that the claims are clean and free from errors.

Co-Payments and Deductibles

Each health plan mandates a deductible, a co-payment, and co-insurance. Some patients have high and some have low deductibles, according to their insurance. Whatever the amount is, it is essential that patients clearly understand the responsibility to pay the providers’ copays.

Reimbursement for Services Provided

It is the most awaited step in the entire process. It is time for the insurance company to pay up for your services. The insurer matches the procedures with their charges under the coverage limit. If the bills are appropriate, the process of reimbursement becomes smoother and returns maximum payments. However, in erroneous claims and incomplete patient information, or any other issues, the denials are inevitable.

Charge and Code

When the patient visits the provider’s facility, the visit gets transformed into a set of codes. There is a high probability of human error in these charges and codes. Therefore, it is vital that professional medical coders are present to manage this activity. The codes must follow a particular set of rules and concur with the CPT guidelines and the latest ICD-10 coding system.

Patient Precertification or Pre-Authorization

When a patient comes in, they undergo pre-authorization. The provider’s office pre-authorizes the patient for specific treatments and prescriptions of drugs. Pre-authorization is the step where the patient or the insurance companies must decide whether the prescription of the drugs, procedures, services or equipment is medically necessary or not. Based on the decision, insurance companies will reimburse for the services provided.

The pre-authorization process is repetitive and needs continuous verification each time.

It is always a good idea to double-check any doubts related to coverage with the insurance company. The pre-authorization phase faces exceptions in case of a medical emergency.

Manage Denials

The claims, rejected or denied, are resubmitted soon after they are restored with coding mistakes. The resubmissions process demands crucial screening with a pointer on the latest coding guidelines. Also, every minute detail is checked against the patient profile.

Eligibility and Verification of Insurance

This process is crucial. Therefore, it is essential to confirm the eligibility and verification process to avoid reimbursement issues. Once the patient goes through the care delivery, the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement incorporates all the details of the services or treatments paid on their behalf by the insurance company. Verification will prevent a patient from being blindsided with additional out-of-pocket expenses.
