Take 5...

How much is your time worth? It will take less than 5 minutes to answer these 5 questions - and then consider Mission RCM to get them all in line. We're a lot less painful (and costly) than a Medicare investigation - or being called on the carpet by your Board. 

1. Do you have a problem with late charges? If reprocessing claims due to late charges is a daily occurrence, you may want to consider a charge capture assessment. Something is holding up charges getting posted - and you need to find it! Time is money.

2. Do you have a coding backlog? If you have more than 3 days of average daily charges waiting for coding, there's an issue - either staffing or processing. Think about an operations assessment for your coding department.

3. Do you have a process for verifying correct payments? No? This could leave you on the hook for OVER and UNDER payments. It's your responsibility to ensure your payment is right and letting the payer know if it wasn't. You can be penalized for not notifying the payer the payment wasn't enough. Nobody needs that.

4.  What's your clean claim rate? If it's less than 80%, you've got an upstream problem that must be identified. You shouldn't have to touch a claim more than once to get it out for payment.

5. Did you recently implement a new EHR that is dropping charges from documentation? Has anyone looked to see if it is happening correctly? You could be missing charges - or worse - having charges dropped without any documentation to support them. 

Mission RCM has solutions for each of these problems - call or email and we'll set up an assessment to see which one will give you the most bang for your buck! And isn't the peace of mind of knowing you don't have a problem worth it too?
