Use DrCatalyst To Increase Revenue + Reduce Billing Inefficiencies

Overview

Medical practices of all sizes and specialties struggle with getting paid for their services - everything from denials to patient collections to payer collections. Honestly, it’s really unfortunate that practices have to jump through hoops with insurance companies, wait for long periods of time (weeks, sometimes months), and chase down patients just to get paid.

As a doctor, yes, you took an oath to put a patient’s health first - however, in order to continue to help your patients and others, you have to keep the doors of your practice open. I mean, how can you continue to help your patients alleviate the pain that they’re feeling if your practice shuts down due to not making enough revenue?

At the end of the day, you practice is a business, so you need to run it as such. And one of the ways to ensure that your cash flow doesn’t dry up is to reduce your billing inefficiencies.

Are you ready to plug your revenue cycle leaks? Our end-to-end RCM services help medical practices (like yours) increase revenue and reduce billing inefficiencies. Keep reading to learn more!

What Are Your Biggest Medical Billing Pain Points?

Below are a few of the top pain points that practices usually struggle with:

• Are your denials decreasing your cash flow?

Did you know that around 30 percent of claims are either denied, lost, or ignored the first time they’re being submitted? Denials can really hurt your bottom line. And if your practice is like most practices, when it comes to denials, you don’t really have the luxury of time. Plus, your staff members are likely already buried under tons of billing and administrative work. However, here's the good news - most denials are preventable; you just have to take the proper steps to prevent them.

• Are medical billing errors draining your bottom line?

The more errors that you commit, the more costly it gets for your practice. In fact, your medical practice may be losing more than a quarter of its income just because of billing errors. Over 25 to 30 percent of all medical practice income gets lost due to incorrect coding or missed/never submitted charges. There is no surefire way to totally prevent medical billing mistakes. However, it's important to create preventive measures to reduce medical billing errors and ensure your practice isn’t part of the 25-30 percent mentioned above.

• Are slow insurance payments killing your cash flow?

Even if you're the best practice in town, you'll struggle if you can’t collect payments for the services you’ve rendered. Waiting for your money is literally costing you money because around 200 million medical claims get denied each year. For that very reason, an A/R follow-up plan is vital.

• Are poor patient collections costing you revenue?

Since 2015, patient healthcare costs have increased by almost 30 percent. In fact, 40 percent of physicians fail to collect over $31,713 a year from their patients because getting high-deductible patients to pay is a big challenge. Because of this, many providers lose out on a large amount of money every year.

If any of the pain points mentioned above hit close to home, it may be time for you to seek backup and consider outsourcing some (or all) of your medical billing. Below are a few of the services that our team of certified billers and coders can provide to your medical practice.
