Revenue leakage is nothing but the lost opportunity to collect money earned from your practice. The reason for revenue leakage can be rejected claims, unbilled claims, unbilled procedures, credentialing-related denials, underpayments, and outstanding patient balances. For any healthcare practice, medical billing and revenue leakages could result in significant loss because of long payment cycles. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are notable loopholes in the overall medical billing process that should be monitored to ensure a steady cash flow, which will provide financial stability to your practice. In this article, we’ll outline the major issues of revenue leakage and outline our solutions to them in order to improve your practice collections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Causes of Revenue Leakage in Medical Billing<\/h2>\n

1 Rejected Claims<\/span><\/h3>\n

The majority of claims are rejected due to wrong patient demographics and insurance details mentioned in the submitted claims. Claims will also get rejected if a patient changes their address or contact number with the insurance company and doesn\u2019t update the provider\u2019s office. Train your front desk staff to capture patient demographics and insurance details accurately while handling patients with care and empathy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Unbilled Claims<\/span><\/h3>\n

Claims can remain unbilled or stuck in medical billing<\/a> software due to scrubbing errors. Different medical billing software provides scrubbing features where the software will highlight errors in claims before submitting. Claims stuck due to scrubbing errors never reach the clearinghouse and can remain unbilled. Unbilled claims can be identified by comparing reports of patient\u2019s appointments, procedures performed and the number of claims submitted.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Denied Claims<\/span><\/h3>\n

Denial management is a crucial step in revenue cycle management and requires to be handled with utmost expertise. Submitting an accurate claim is not sufficient, denial management<\/a> will ensure that all submitted claims are getting paid and in case of denials, appeals with the appropriate documentation can be submitted. Hire a professional team who can resubmit denied claims<\/a>, understand the reasons behind denials, and create a corrective process to prevent future denials due to the same issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Unbilled Procedures<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sometimes physicians leave some minor procedures unrecorded with the assumption that these are unbilled procedures. A detailed discussion between physicians and coders could help to distinguish between billed and unbilled procedures. You should have an expert medical coder in your team who can help to identify billed and unbilled procedures. <\/span><\/p>\n

Educating physicians on billable procedures decreases instances of unbilled procedures and improves revenue. An expert medical coder usually helps to identify revenue leakage due to unbilled procedures after having a detailed discussion with the physician.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Credentialing-related Denials<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether you are a small practice or a large healthcare organization, ignorance towards provider credentialing could become a prime source of revenue leakage. Ignorance towards non-participation of providers with certain health plans can increase denials. You should have a credentialing expert<\/a> in your team who will handle evolving requirements and regulations related to provider credentialing and payer enrollment. This function is necessary to run a profitable practice and deliver quality patient care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Underpayments<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most physicians are not aware of a fee schedule for various procedures. Different payers may pay you differently for the same procedure as per your contracting agreement. Underpayments can be avoided by planning and revising your fee schedule with various payers. At the time of contracting, it\u2019s not mandatory to accept the payer\u2019s fee schedule, you can negotiate. Seek expert assistance in payer contracting and in defining your fee schedules.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Outstanding Patient Balances<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your practice must build a seamless patient balance management process consisting of timely reminder calls\/texts to patients, electronic payment methods, and flexible payment plans to ensure maximum reimbursements. Prior eligibility and benefits verification will state the patient\u2019s insurance coverage, co-pays, or deductibles. You can collect more patient responsibility at the time of patient visits with a streamlined eligibility and benefits process.<\/span><\/p>\n
