Key Stages in Our Institutional Medical Billing Process
At HurricaneMD, we’ve structured our institutional medical billing process to ensure seamless revenue management for healthcare institutions. Here’s an overview of the primary phases within our institutional billing workflow:
Pre-admission Procedures:
Before a patient’s admission, we initiate pre-admission procedures to streamline the billing process. This includes gathering essential patient information and verifying insurance coverage to facilitate efficient billing and claims processing.
Data Entry During Admission:
Upon admission, meticulous data entry of patient information is conducted to ensure accuracy in billing records. This step forms the foundation of our billing process, enabling precise coding and claims submission.
Coding of Data:
Our certified coders meticulously assign appropriate codes to medical procedures and diagnoses, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and maximizing reimbursement potential.
Billing Statements Generation:
Once data coding is complete, we generate clear and comprehensive billing statements for submission to insurance companies and patients. Transparency and accuracy are prioritized throughout this phase to minimize billing errors and disputes.
Accounts Receivables Management:
Sustaining stable finances requires efficient accounts receivable management. We diligently track payments, follow up on outstanding invoices, and implement strategies to optimize cash flow and minimize revenue leakage.
Interactions with Insurance Companies:
Our team liaises with insurance companies to facilitate claims processing, follow up on approvals, and address denials efficiently. We advocate on behalf of our clients to maximize reimbursement and resolve billing discrepancies promptly.
