Revolutionizing the Healthcare Backoffice: Multi Speciality Hospital Improved Verification Process with Automation
The Client
Business Challenges
Imagine medical bills flying like loose papers in a hurricane. That’s what happens when patient charts are incomplete or unorganized, leading to missing or inaccurate superbills – the itemized lists of services crucial for claiming proper reimbursement. This chaos creates a domino effect:
Late Claims Pile Up: Without complete information, filing claims on time becomes impossible, jeopardizing revenue. Even corrected claims might be denied if submitted past deadlines.
Backlogged AR: Accounts receivable balloon as unbilled services mount, hindering a practice’s financial health and growth potential.
Stalled Workflows: Lack of standard procedures for tracking visit status and navigating denials leaves staff scrambling and revenue stuck in limbo.This was the exact scenario facing our client. Incomplete patient charts and limited follow-up systems were creating a massive backlog of unbilled claims, threatening their financial goals. They needed a way to tame the paper chase and turn chaos into cash flow.
Time-Consuming Manual Verification: Verifying insurance coverage often took days, delaying treatment planning and creating logistical bottlenecks.
Inaccurate Information and Denials: Manual data entry prone to errors, resulting in claim denials and revenue loss.
Inefficient Staff Utilization: Nurses and administrators burdened with phone calls and paperwork, diverting attention from patient care.
Frustrated Patients and Staff: Long wait times and billing discrepancies negatively impacted patient satisfaction and staff morale.
