Payment Posting
The payments received from the patients as well as their insurance companies are updated to their respective accounts in the medical billing system. These are tallied against their deposits and to ensure payment accuracy. Our payment posting personnel also check for any underpayment made to the concerned accounts. They also do posting of payments into the medical billing software and make sure that the EOB files are stored for future references.
Denial Management
Denial management is a crucial aspect of medical billing. Our denial management experts run a robust analysis of the denied or underpaid claims to find the reason behind the low payment or denial. Corrective steps are taken immediately. The claims are re-submitted for acceptance of the insurance company. Our team promptly follows up with the insurance company for speedy payment.
The team also sends status reports at appropriate intervals to keep them updated. The records of these denials are stored for future reference; documentation guidelines are promptly followed. Special requirements like referrals, ABNs and authorisations are also observed as standard procedure – so that cases of denials due to a violation of standards are negated.
