Denial Management |

RCMS’ solutions can improve a wide range of different patient billing areas where changes to manual work activities and the use of technology can have a significant impact on a health system’s financial performance. With the right tools and workflow processes, first-call resolution and time to collect patient payments can be significantly improved.

Using AI-powered solutions, our technology can prioritize accounts to work claim denials more efficiently. System generated worklists can automatically qualify accounts for proactive follow up. For customer service representatives, account inquiries provide a powerful tracking tool for A/R collections and patient communications.

By being proactive in account follow-up and having automated tools to present financial and clinical data in a user-friendly solution, your A/R Management KPIs can be significantly improved.

Denial & Appeals Management

To reduce denial rates, our ReSolve® AI & Workflow Automation technology can isolate medical claim denials/defects and prevents future re-occurrences. This decreases processing delays and helps to maintain cash flow. By identifying the source of each denied claim, Denial Management allows staff to resolve the root cause of denials, thereby reducing the initial denial rate of future claims. ReSolve® can also facilitate decisive activities with predesigned correspondence and tracking capabilities, from generating appeals through rebilling and payment. Department supervisors can also track follow-up pursuits by user and work queue, enhancing departmental oversight and staff performance.

Identifying Hidden Trends and Isolating Problem Areas

With access to claims and revenue cycle data from the Hospital the Physician Practice Group’s HIT Systems, RCMS clients can visualize and analyze real-time data using Microsoft’s Power BI and SSRS reporting tools. By providing drill-down data analytics, pivot charts and scorecards in our reporting options, managers and executives can quickly identify hidden trends, isolate problem areas and ensure that they have an up-to-the-minute view of their revenue cycle operations.

Minimizing Payment Delays with Synchronized Activity Across Multiple Applications

RCMS works to improve a wide range of revenue cycle areas where changes to manual work processes and the use of workflow automation technology can have a significant impact on the financial performance of healthcare provider organizations. Our ReSolve® Denial/Defect Management enables simultaneous access to both billing and ECM document imaging systems — a key step for creating efficient workflow. It first queries eligibility and authorization files to determine a course of action, then routes the denials to appropriate work queues. ReSolve® then facilitates decisive activities with predesigned correspondence and tracking capabilities, from generating appeals through rebilling and payment.

An optional component of the ReSolve® A/R Management Platform, the Denial/Defect Management module can track follow-up pursuits by user, KPIs and work queue, enhancing departmental oversight and staff performance.

In addition to providing configurable worklists for more efficient and organized user activity, ReSolve® can also synchronize denial and appeal actions to multiple EMR/EHR billing applications and/or Practice Management systems. This is extremely beneficial to Central Billing Offices (CBOs) having to reconcile and post payments for multiple systems.

Creating Permanent Revenue Cycle Improvements

Our ‘connected systems’ approach unlocks the potential of extensive data generated as a result of revenue cycle processes. Integrated with Hyland Software’s OnBase Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution, the ReSolve® Platform combines the advantages of ECM with systems integration and automated workflow. With this capability, RCMS clients have access to automated reports, drill-down data analytics, pivot charts and customized scorecards — where denial trends can be analyzed and traced to specific areas, from patient access and eligibility to individual physicians and departments. By identifying the root cause of denials and taking corrective actions, the initial denial rate of future claims is therefore reduced.
