Medical billing is a transmission between the medical provider and the insurance company. The medical billing process/medical cycle is also known as Revenue cycle management. It includes billing, management, and payments of the claims. The billing invoices are known as claims.
The process begins when the practitioner diagnoses the patient and update the patient’s medical records. The practitioner adds a five-digit procedure code to the patient record, then it is transmitted to the insurance company. The insurance company reviews the claim and evaluate patient eligibility. Approved claims are reimbursed and denied claims are further appealed for reconsideration.
AccQdata plays an important role in the medical billing cycle. We work as a mediator between the provider and the insurance company. The medical billing cycle includes many steps, from insurance verification to denial management. We follow all these steps to bill the claims. We also inform our clients about the status of their claims by live reporting.
We are doing medical billing by completing various types of steps followed under the expert guidelines. Those steps involved Insurance Verification/ Authorization, Patient Demographic Entry, CPT & ICD Coding, Charge Entry, Claims Submission, Payment Posting, AR Follow-up, Denial Management, and Reporting.
Insurance Verification/ Authorization
It is necessary to complete insurance verification before a patient receives medical services. We verify patient insurance coverage on all primary and secondary payers and update patient accounts, so we verify that the required insurance criteria are correct or not.
Patient Demographic Entry
We verify all the patient insurance and demographic details completely before updating in the billing software. This helps physicians understand their patient's medical situations and recommend a certain course of action.
CPT & ICD Coding
CPT & ICD Code is a five-digit code used to describe the procedures, diagnoses, and aids a patient has received during their medical appointment. We review all claims before submission to verify if ICD-10 & HCPCS codes are valid or not.
