Where To Find Unpaid Claims (so you can get them paid)

3/20/2020

1 Comment

 
If the worry over COVID-19 has caused your patient visits to drop, or if you've opted to close your office, it is a good idea to jump on your unpaid claims and get as much paid as you possibly can. Here are the three places you should look for unpaid claims:

1.) Clearing house denials. Somewhere in your clearinghouse interface is an area where all of the claims that had errors and could not be processed, sit. Start here and look as far back as you can go. Sometimes this area gets missed by a bogged down billing department. NOTE: Claims that are stopped here have never made it to the insurance company and are subject to the timely filing deadline. Get these claims fixed and resubmitted as quickly as you can. ​

A EOB backlog can be a potentially devastating problem for your practice. 

It seems innocent enough, it's just a stack of paper, right? The claims are already processed, you can just go through and pull out the denials and fix those, right?... RIGHT??? 

I hate to tell you but, no. A backlog of EOBs is much worse than that. Here's why:

Why does a good employee go bad?

5/9/2017

We've all had it happen, you hire a GREAT employee. Great resume, has the experience and seems really willing to be a team player. Things start off ok, maybe some hiccups here and there, but that's normal of a new employee, right? 

Yet 3 months, 6 months, 9 months down the line things STILL aren't smooth. Mistakes are being made and your once seemingly willing employee now seems overwhelmed, a little beat up and cranky. ​

Catching Insurance Checks With Honey

3/3/2013

Calling the insurance companies to follow up on unpaid claims is painful and frustrating. In my opinion, it is quite possibly one of the most frustrating and underrated parts of working in a clinic. However, it is also the most remunerative.

Why?

The reason is simple. For the purpose of this article, let’s assume insurance companies bank on the fact that it is so painful and frustrating. Let’s assume they KNOW you don’t want to call. That they KNOW you don’t want to stay on hold for several minutes only to speak to some relatively unpleasant person who then proceeds to tell you you’ve called the wrong department and that no, they won’t transfer you. Let’s assume they know you are busy and they know you have patients coming in and out of the office that have to be tended to.

How to get the most out of your biggest investment

2/22/2013

When you are running an office, what is your biggest investment? Is it your equipment? The office space itself? Your patients?

While all of these rank fairly high on the scale of things, the answer to all of these is a resounding, "NO". Your biggest investment is your staff.

Think about it. How much money do you spend a year on staff? Better yet, what would happen if your entire staff got up and walked out right now? Sure, you can replace them but at what expense? Training a new staff member is costly, in both time and money.

Why A Billing Service?

3/15/2012

1 Comment

 
In my experience, there are 4 main reasons an office should use a billing service. They are:

Reason #1
You are opening a brand new office and are not ready to invest in software of your own: Practice Management software can be costly and I find that a lot of start up offices prefer to start out by using a billing service to take care of the billing for them. This allows them to focus their attention on growing and handling the brand new business
