FAQ
About Front end revenue cycle
Scheduling involves actively involving patients to ensure a sufficient volume of patients and to secure appointments in a timely manner by searching for the schedules of physicians across various departments and specialties. Our scheduling team focuses on minimizing cancellations and no-shows, and we achieve this by utilizing various communication channels to gather and confirm patient information and book appointments in advance.
Ensuring that insurance coverage, eligibility, and benefits are verified is crucial for the success of your hospital’s revenue cycle. Our team diligently follows up with healthcare payers to confirm eligibility and benefits, with the aim of reducing claim denials and revenue loss. We conduct a thorough verification process that includes checking the effective date, the patient’s eligibility for the medical services requested, non-covered procedures, co-pay, deductibles, co-insurance, pre-existing conditions, and the maximum daily and lifetime benefits.
Our process also involves checking the coverage for specific procedures and estimating the patient’s responsibility before the patient’s visit. This helps to ensure clear communication of the patient’s payment responsibility, prompt payment, and reduced work on back-end patient follow-up. The efficiency of our verification process improves patient satisfaction and maximizes revenue. In cases where necessary, we also use our payer-specific prior authorization capabilities to obtain prior authorization.
