with Kareo

Get Paid What You're Owed

Managing the revenue cycle efficiently is one of the most challenging parts of operating an independent practice. Each phase of the revenue cycle has its own unique challenges. A breakdown in one part of the process can result in wasted time and lost revenue. It is vital for the financial stability of your independent practice to have a clearly defined revenue cycle workflow that works. Not only will you receive the payments that you are owed in a timely manner, but will also reduce the burden on billing staff, keep down administrative costs, and maintain a positive rapport with your patients.

With Kareo, you’ll get access to our platform and an entire suite of integrated billing functionality. Our web and mobile applications help your practice easily manage your revenue cycle and the complications that come with billing insurance.

Your Guide to Exceeding a 95% Clean Claims Rate

50% of rejected or denied claims don't get reworked. That's lost revenue. Improving your claims process can be the fastest way to improve the profitability of your practice.

This guide provides valuable tips, tricks and resources to help you achieve your goal of “Clean Claims Nirvana” by attaining a First Pass Acceptance Rate (FPAR) of greater than 95%.

Does your practice have an optimal revenue cycle workflow?

Optimizing your revenue cycle workflow is key to improving insurance reimbursements and reducing denials.

1
Planning for Success

Take and honest assessment of your insurance reimbursement revenue cycle, define your goals and what is needed to get you there.

2
Patient Intake

Reducing claim rejections and improving insurance reimbursements starts before the patient enters your office. To be successful you need to implement an optimal process for patient intake, patient eligibility and benefits verification.

3
Claims Processing

Analyzing and processing insurance claims is one of the most critical activities for your practice. Leveraging technology appropriately can help to speed up, and even automate some of your charge entry, charge validation, claim scrubbing, rejection management, denial management and payment posting.

4
Monitor Financial Health

It is essential to set up KPIs (key performance indicators) for your insurance reimbursements. Proper monitoring of KPIs will help to uncover the revenue opportunities that will provide the greatest contribution to your bottom line. You can then move forward with confidence knowing that your time and resources are being fully optimized.

Charge Entry

Charge entry helps you improve your productivity and reduce the time you spend with routine data entry of your charges. You can set up fee schedules, enter charges quickly, check codes against payer rules, and track every encounter from appointment scheduling to insurance claim submission.

Validate charges, Using Claim Scrubber

Claim Scrubbing is a process of validating the combination of data presented or submitted on a health insurance claim. The data submitted on a claim is validated against such coding rules dictated by Medicare, Medicaid, National Correct Coding Initiative Edits and other standard coding rules.

Claim Submission

Spending a little extra time ensuring correct setup before submitting claims will save considerable time and effort troubleshooting, correcting and resubmitting rejected, denied, or no-response claims. It will also help ensure your claims get processed and paid as quickly as possible!

Rejection Management

Getting paid faster is essential to the health of your business. One of the most significant areas that can delay getting paid is claim rejections.

Denial Management

If a payer denies a claim, you can account for it by posting a denial. Posting a denial will also help with reporting and audit trails.

Payment Posting

Post and manage payments - view a complete log of financial transactions associated with each charge, and view or re-open settled charges.

Procedure Macros

A procedure macro (sometimes referred to as an explosion code) is a special code you create that when entered on an encounter, loads multiple procedures, modifiers, and diagnoses codes into a procedure line item. Since many patient visits are nearly identical, these procedure macros provide a convenient shortcut that can dramatically save time when entering procedures performed on an encounter.
