RCM and Practice Management Services

We’ll customize a solution for your practice with the services below

Let’s face it, timely reimbursements are impacted by two main components: proper coding and accurate claims processing. When incorrect codes are used, your claims are rejected or underpaid which delays reimbursement and ultimately impacts your bottom line.

We can provide you with free analysis of your medical or dental procedure codes. Simply provide us with your superbill or list of all codes (CPT, HCPCS, or CDT). We will provide you with a professional code review report that details the status on each procedure code. This report also includes a financial summary showing any adverse effects on your cash flow, such as potential income loss, as a result of using incorrect codes.

There is more! We can also provide you with a free Practice Analysis report that calculates the real cost of your current billing operation. This can help you determine where you may cut expenses and if outsourcing your billing makes financial sense.

This analysis is based on the various direct and indirect costs incurred in processing medical claims, such as:

  • Labor Costs and Benefits
  • Error Processing
  • Administrative and Billing Costs
  • Rental Overhead
  • Supplies: Software, Hardware, Claim Forms, Postage, etc.
  • Time Value of Money
  • Systems Upgrades & Maintenance

We offer full Revenue Cycle Management and billing solutions. Our services include:

  • Processing primary, secondary, tertiary insurance claims.
  • Relentless follow up on insurance claims.
  • Payment posting to insurance and patient accounts.
  • Tracking of unpaid claims and providing additional documentation when necessary.
  • Notification regarding any “Incomplete Claims” which were unable to be processed.
  • Patient statements with online bill pay, payment plans, and autopay available.
  • Monthly and annual financial analysis and review of medical codes.
  • Comprehensive reports: We can provide you with highly detailed reports with colorful analysis charts and graphics tracking the status of every claim and showing the level of productivity of your practice.
 

We can provide hundreds of reports. See the examples below.

 
 
 

The waiting room is overflowing with patients, but unfortunately so is your A/R. Many Americans don’t have health insurance, and those who do still often pay 20 percent or a high deductible. Many providers don’t collect all the money owed to them and have too much of their receivables more than 90 days past due, often carrying tens of thousands of dollars on their books, knowing there’s a good chance they’ll never see this money.

CodeMAXX manages your medical coding in accordance with the national standards (ICD, CPT, CMS, and HCPCS). CodeMAXX offers you peace of mind. Although medical staff may be trained on coding standards, the fact is, the codes are often changed or modified, or the requirements for using a specific code can differ from year to year. This jeopardizes not only your compliance but also your revenues because if a diagnosis or procedure code has been incorrectly assigned, you might end up with a denied claim or a decreased payment.

CodeMAXX is a service that provides busy medical practices with access to certified professional coders who will code your encounter notes. CodeMAXX also provides you with the most up-to-date diagnosis codes (ICD), procedure codes (CPTs & HCPCS) and modifiers to insert into your billing software. Only by having the correct codes can you be sure that the insurance companies will pay you in a timely manner.

The federal government has implemented the Recovery Audit Contract (RAC), a control process intended to weed out the large volume of fraudulent medical claims. To accomplish this, the government hired private auditing companies to perform audits on medical records and claims billing in all 50 states. Audits may cover any provider who bills fee-for-service Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance programs. The audits will check for evidence of fraud by examining three common indicators of fraud:

1) coding inconsistencies;
2) documentation to support the medical necessity of the services provided; and
3) overpayments or underpayments to providers.

This is a critical procedure for all medical practices. If your practice’s claims & records are audited and any of the three inconsistencies are found, you will be required to pay back not only the overpayment but also interest. In addition, appeals have not been successful. And the auditing companies will continue to audit your practice every 45 days until they find no further evidence of fraud.

The RAC program has identified billions of dollars in overpayments throughout all 50 states.

Why take a risk in your practice? Begin using our MD Audit Shield services to eliminate the chances of an audit proving inconsistencies in your billing. While nothing will keep the government from auditing your practice, our MD Audit Shield service will at least protect your practice in several ways. MD Audit Shield takes the following steps to ensure your compliance:

  • It reviews 50 records at random from your billing to check if any improper coding and non-compliance issues with Medicare/Medicaid appear.
  • It specifies what corrective actions are needed to comply with codes.
  • It performs any necessary changes to put you in compliance.
  • It stands behind you with assistance in the event you are audited.


Please contact us today to prepare for RAC auditing. Our services are professional and affordable!
