Credence Also Handles Credentialing
Credentialing in revenue cycle management (RCM) is the process of verifying and assessing a healthcare provider’s qualifications, including education, training, experience, and licensure. This process is important for ensuring that patients receive quality care from qualified providers, and that healthcare organizations are in compliance with payer and regulatory requirements.
There are a number of steps involved in the credentialing process, including:
- Provider application: The provider submits an application to the healthcare organization, providing information about their education, training, experience, and licensure.
- Credentialing verification: The healthcare organization verifies the information provided by the provider, including contacting the provider’s references and checking state licensing boards.
- Credentialing decision: The healthcare organization makes a decision about whether to grant the provider privileges to practice at the organization.
- Credentialing renewal: The healthcare organization reviews the provider’s credentials on a regular basis, typically every two years, to ensure that they remain in good standing.
Credentialing is an important part of RCM, as it helps to ensure that healthcare organizations are able to collect payment for the services they provide. When a provider is credentialed, it means that the healthcare organization has verified their qualifications and that they are authorized to practice at the organization. This information is then submitted to payers, which helps to ensure that claims are processed quickly and accurately.
We understand that credentialing can be a complex and time-consuming process, but is essential for ensuring the quality of care and financial success of healthcare organizations.
When it Comes to Coding and Charge Entry..
Coding and charge entry are two important steps in the revenue cycle management (RCM) process. Coding is the process of assigning a unique code to each medical service or procedure performed. Charge entry is the process of entering the codes and associated charges into the healthcare organization’s billing system.
Coding is important because it helps to ensure that healthcare organizations are reimbursed for the services they provide. When a healthcare organization submits a claim to a payer, the payer will use the codes to determine the amount of reimbursement. If the codes are incorrect, the healthcare organization may not be reimbursed for the services it provides.
Charge entry is important because it helps to track the financial performance of a healthcare organization. The charges entered into the billing system will be used to generate invoices for patients and payers. The charges will also be used to track the volume and type of services provided by the healthcare organization.
At Credence, we know that coding and charge entry are both complex and time-consuming processes, but we also know they are essential for the financial success of healthcare organizations. Accurate coding and charge entry leads to:
- Increased reimbursement: When codes are accurate, healthcare organizations are more likely to be reimbursed for the services they provide. This can lead to increased revenue and improved financial performance.
- Reduced denials: When codes are accurate, the risk of claims denials is reduced. This can save healthcare organizations time and money.
- Improved cash flow: When claims are processed quickly and accurately, healthcare organizations can improve their cash flow. This can help to reduce the amount of time it takes to collect payments from patients and payers.
- Enhanced compliance: By following coding and charge entry guidelines, healthcare organizations can improve their compliance with government regulations and payer requirements. This can help to protect them from fines and penalties.
- Improved patient satisfaction: When claims are processed quickly and accurately, patients are more likely to be satisfied with the healthcare services they receive. This can lead to increased patient loyalty and improved patient outcomes.
Credence Global Solutions’ team of experts can handle all aspects of coding and charge entry so you can focus on other areas of the organization, including your patients.
Denial and AR Management
Denial and Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) is a critical component of revenue cycle management (RCM). It is the process of identifying, tracking, and resolving denied claims and accounts receivable (AR).
Denials occur when a payer does not approve a claim for payment. Reasons why a claim may be denied include:
- Coding errors: The claim may contain coding errors, such as incorrect codes or missing information.
- Medical necessity: The payer may not consider the services provided medically necessary.
- Authorization: The payer may require prior authorization for the services provided.
- Timely filing: The claim may have been filed late.
ARM is important because it helps to ensure that healthcare organizations are reimbursed for the services they provide. When claims are denied, it can delay or prevent payment. This can lead to cash flow problems for healthcare organizations. Credence Global Solutions removes this workload from your organization, which can drastically free up your time.
