Shocker

(Doctor employed by insurance payer:) "Plus, if I approve too many expensive drugs, I won't get my bonus at the end of the month. So giving out too many approvals wouldn't be a smart thing for me to do. Would it?"

"...the drugs are too expensive. So we typically reject requests, at least the first time. We figure that, if doctors are really serious, then they should be willing to make the request again and again."

"You see, if it weren't for us, the system would go broke. Every time we say yes, healthcare becomes more expensive, and that isn't a good thing. So when we say no, we are keeping the system in balance. Our job is to save our system of healthcare."

Incredible and abhorrent!!!!

Medical Billing Company

Best thing doctors/clinics can do is educate their front office staff on the importance of their role in the financial structure of the practice. No matter how good your services are, how happy your patients are with your treatment, if you rely on insurance reimbursement then you have to make sure your staff knows how to do their job right.

*obtain and enter correct patient & insurance information for new patients
*verify information is same at follow up visits and update with any changes
*verify benefits before patients are seen
*collect applicable co-pays at time of services
*educating patients on their financial obligations

All of these steps are crucial to running a successful practice. Many times, specially if patient is seen once, if correct information is not obtained and verified before patient leaves your office, you may never get paid for your services.
We always strive to help our clients to run a smoother and healthier practice by helping front office staff understand their role and the importance of it. Our software drchrono will help your staff and you keep on top of your tasks. Check us out on our web page www.synergyrevenueservices.com # Drchrono

• Missing information, such as absent or incorrect patient demographic data and technical errors
• Duplicate claim submission
• Service already adjudicated
• Services not covered by payer
• Time limit for claim submission already passed

Despite the relatively preventable top claims denial reasons, many providers are still making the same mistakes and receiving pushback from payers instead of payments. Let our office help you and your office staff to fight these simple mistakes and ensure your revenue is not lost.

Stop financial leaks in your Medical Practice
Front office processes

Don't underestimate the financial impact of front office processes. Your front office isn’t just the face of your private practice-it’s a vital access point to your revenue cycle. Your front office processes may be the cause of leaking revenue.

Here are a few challenges that may be causing financial burden on your practice:

1. Failure to check eligibility automatically PRIOR to patient visit, which leads to denied claims.

2. Failure to get procedures authorized which leads to denied claims.

3. Failure to get proper referral documentation which leads to denied claims.

4. Not discussing patient financial obligation PRIOR to the visit which leads to increased amount of patient aging.

5. Failure to verify patient information is current and accurate on every visit which could lead to claim rejections.

6. Failure to collect patient balances at time of visit, which leads to increased patient aging.

7. Failure to confirm patient appointments, which could lead to increased amount of NO SHOWS.

8. Poor "customer service" (patients ARE customers) - which could lead to a loss of patients and bad PR. It takes more money to attract a new patient then retain one.

Call us at (818)786-1000 to get more tips on how you can get your office running more efficiently.

We are a medical billing and collections company committed to providing high quality and individualized service to each of our clients.

Our clients always ask, "how do we charge our patients who have insurance".

Our suggestion is always check benefits before providing your services. Talk to your patient up front about their benefits and what to expect, deductible, copays and co-insurance.
Fiile the claim to insurance carriers as soon as possible. When the claim is processed, you will have a definite answer about their patient responsibility.
