Running a successful urgent care business is quite difficult despite its lucrative nature. This is mostly because managing urgent care billing requires an expert who can administrate and be specific as possible when collecting patient and coverage details including information such as coverage dates, service coverage, whether your practice is in-network or out-of-network, information accuracy, maximum allowable visits, co-pay and deductible, and more; which is rare today. In urgent care billing even the slightest mistakes, incorrect information, and wrong codes can result in denials and delay of payments and also leave staff to rework and resubmit claims; which often waste a lot of time.
However, to avoid bigger reimbursement headaches down the road, here are a few tips:
Ensuring the right information makes the whole urgent care billing process easy and reduces your chances of denial and rejection.
According to a recent survey, nearly 80% of providers check patient eligibility, but only about 25% reverify the same patient for subsequent visits. So proper checks and balances ensure a better accuracy ratio and lesser billing and coding mistakes.
When it comes to managing your urgent care billing hygiene, it’s best to submit a cleaner claim the first time. As it helps you avoid wasting your precious hours of reworking claims that will only delay your reimbursement process.
Identifying your billing loopholes always helps with better ROI.
