Revenue cycle management is a highly important aspect of any medical practice. This process has to be as simple and efficient as possible so that money can flow seamlessly. Otherwise, providers might be missing out on some money, and patients’ experiences at your practice could be hindered. Today, we’ll be showing you how to make revenue cycle management easier for your medical practice.
Make Patient Access Easier
Patient access should include many pieces of information, like their first and last names, their social security number, and their address. In addition to this, medical providers should search for coverage beyond what their patients have provided as a means of verification. Secondary, as well as tertiary, coverage is fairly common, which means there are other payers who could receive your medical claims.
This doesn’t even have to create more work for your front office. If you have the right software, it’s easy to manage and store all of this patient information. This way, you can stay ahead of any potential downstream errors in your revenue cycle.
Improve Upon Payment Collections Processes
Even when medical claims are properly submitted to payers, there’s additional reimbursement potential left on the table when patients aren’t paying their medical bills. There are many reasons why patients might not be paying their medical bills, whether they’re under financial strain, or the payment collection process is complicated.
Making it easier for patients to pay their bills makes it easier for your practice to be properly reimbursed. It helps to give your patients multiple payment options, whether it’s cash, check, or credit/debit card, among other options. Coming up with payment plans is another great way to give patients an easier time paying your practice.
Automate Workflow
Another way you can improve revenue cycle management is to embrace workflow automation. You can automate many procedures, like claims submission, patent collection, and denial management, among others.
If you want to automate denial management and claims submission, it helps to group up claims based on payer type. You could also assign claims to a certain biller. This makes claims more organized.
To automate patient payment collections, you might consider investing in software that makes templated patient statements. This software could also send medical bills to patients so that patients can more easily see what they owe your practice.
