Reimbursement strategies typically have two weak points: compliance mistakes and inefficient billing statements. Both result in frustrating losses of revenue or at least a slowing of income, which limits your practice’s ability to grow and expand. It is possible to increase healthcare revenue today with a targeted reimbursement management approach by eClinicalWorks® based billing services.

Review and Revamp Accounts Receivable Billing

Because compliance is an issue that occurs in-house, it makes sense to ensure that those in charge of the tasks understand the intricacies of billing and coding. Although it is easy to ask everyone to follow current practices, it is far harder to follow up and verify compliance. But this very step can quickly reduce insurer denials or requests for additional information as well as resubmissions. This improvement, in turn, cuts down on the time that an invoice remains outstanding.

Streamline the Patient Billing Process

Did you know that you might be missing out on potential relationship building simply by sending out generic statements to your patients? Moreover, you may be missing revenue opportunities because bill recipients just do not understand what they owe.

• Back office accounting information. Do your patients need to know all the codes you enter, the payment denials you received, and resubmissions your staff undertook? Too much information confuses the bill payer who looks for the bottom line.
• Unclear payment options. Some medical professionals want to be paid online while others prefer mail. Spell out the various ways by which a patient may submit a payment.
• Present payment plan options. If your billing is hit or miss, you might have patients who would be able to make partial payments but cannot commit to the full amount. Build relationships with your patients and their families by offering official payment plans for any budget.

We understand that your plan to increase healthcare revenue today can seem like a tall order. But with the help of eClinicalWorks® based billing services, it is easier than you might think.

When it comes to medical billing, many practices find the best results when they trust their billing to a billing company. Billing companies are full of trained professionals that know how to go after the money you worked hard for. But not all billing companies are created equally.

For example, EMR Billing Solutions was created to provide eClinicalWorks® support for companies that use eClinicalWorks® for their electronic health records. Why is this important and unique? Many billing companies train their employees on many EMR programs. Their knowledge can’t be as thorough as the staff at EMR Billing Solutions because they have to stay current with updates on all sorts of software. At EMR Billing Solutions, we are aware of changes as they come out and know how or if they will affect the billing process.

Another way that all billing companies are not created equally is the pricing. Some billing companies will charge upwards of 7% just because they know some practitioners are willing to pay that. But at EMR Billing Solutions we don’t think that is a reasonable price. We charge only 3% or 3.9%, depending on the services you want, with no added fees for any other services.

eClinicalWorks® support doesn’t have to come at a high cost for high quality. At EMR Billing Solutions, we are equipped to bill for practices with one health care provider, or many providers.

Twenty years ago, physicians running medical institutions used paper files and folders to record and execute the operations of these institutions. Paper files store patient medical records, staff credentials, internal memos, and even financial receipts.  Paper files require designated storage stations. They are also susceptible to damage from fires, elements of weather, and are vulnerable to tear through friction. Furthermore, paper files are vulnerable to theft and unauthorized access. Vividly, paper files in the medical industry are a looming issue.

In the year 1999, a team of healthcare professionals coupled with technology gurus founded eclinicalworks® to get rid of paper in a medical profession. The mission was to make sure that there is a seamless relay of information flowing within the supply chain of a doctor. This includes lab results, nurses, pharmacists, and even surgeons.

Digitizing the record and communication system in the health care community has a myriad of advantages. Firstly, it creates a fast and reliable way of relaying information from one department to another. Medical professionals operating in different areas can share medical files about the medical history of a patient they are treating. Years ago, it was almost impossible to relay such information in due time.

Paperless systems are also safe. The systems have passwords and capabilities that can restrict the access of unauthorized personnel. Medical records are sensitive files and as such, confidentiality is important.

Paperless systems have also increased the level of care and service that patients receive. The digitized system retrieves patient files faster and efficiently, thus reducing errors and saving time.

The system incorporates technology into handling the finances of a medical institution saving costs, cutting losses, and making billing more convenient. The billing system takes care of all your patient billing needs, ranging from answering patient questions about billing options to handling commercial data. Various medical practices use EMR Billing Solutions, who are experts in eclinicalworks® billing module. EMR Billing Solutions offers different services including Expert Billing Service, Expert Billing Service Plus and Fax Auto Pilot. A medical practice can choose any of these services, to cut their cost and improve efficiency. Contact EMR Billing Solutions for details.
