Best practices of a revenue cycle management

Medical practices now have an increased obligation to optimize payment collections and all other facets of healthcare RCM due to the constantly evolving healthcare rules and reimbursement models. Even though there are very important obstacles to overcome, using best practices increases collections. Additionally, it lowers expenses throughout the revenue cycle and aids small practices in better comprehending, measuring, and managing its financial components.

 

1. Enhance front desk operations and collections

When making appointments, teach your front desk personnel to ask patients for all the relevant demographic and insurance information. Use "communication scripts" to assist staff in educating patients on the various payment options or plans accessible to them as well as co-pay collection. Patient happiness and revenue optimization are both influenced by a front desk staff that is properly trained.

2. Automate the process of determining insurance eligibility

Verifying insurance eligibility automatically benefits patients as well as the practice. It has the twin benefit of preventing claim errors and informing patients as soon as possible about any payment obligations. Patients can better prepare for out-of-pocket expenses thanks to the enhanced transparency, and they also react more quickly when front-office staff asks for these payments. 

3. Personalized EMR Templates

To effectively record clinical documentation and charge data, use and personalize EMR templates. To help doctors discover areas for improvement, remind them to document in a clear, thorough, and precise manner.

4. Software that combines an EHR with practice management

Use an EMR/EHR that is connected with your practice management system wherever it is possible. Data may be smoothly and automatically transferred downstream, minimizing errors and delays.

5. Best Practices for Back Office Operations 

- Automate important parts of your claim submission process with technology. To hasten the processing of payments, use e-remittance.
- Offer a patient-friendly online payment interface so they can simply make any payments that weren't taken during an in-person appointment.
Manage your insurance follow-up and claim denial procedures well to increase cash flow.
- Track revenue targets using reporting and data analytics to identify areas for improvement.
- Determine which software solutions for various parts of revenue cycle management best suit the requirements of the practice. Physicians may concentrate on patient care rather than financial concerns when the appropriate software solution is used for the proper process.

- Think about contracting out your RCM operations to a company that provides a complete and integrated solution. This strategy may be viable and helpful for practices that lack the time or staffing resources to organically acquire the essential knowledge and skills in all aspects of revenue cycle management. Seventy-two percent of hospital CFOs believe that end-to-end RCM outsourcing is the best choice until value-based payment models are more widely adopted.
