AR Workflow
Accounts receivable (AR) teams are responsible for identifying outstanding balances owed to a provider and taking all necessary steps to ensure that payment is made. AR teams identify outstanding accounts, review them to discover why payment was never made, amend claim errors to resubmit them for payment, and collect from insurers or patients.
While traditional electronic medical records (EMR) systems are designed only to store, manage, and summarize medical information, our AR workflow solutions help revenue management teams build on that data both to collect on outstanding accounts and to identify the root causes of denials to reduce future rejections. The result is lower cost-to-collect, greater claim uniformity, fewer denials, and shorter payback times, all of which lead to higher profitability. Here’s how it works:
The Problem
Multiple factors make it difficult for AR teams to review all their claims efficiently. Some of the most important barriers are:
- A lack of data analysis, which prevents preferences from understanding why claims were denied, and how they can get them approved in the future.
- The vast number of regulations which vary by region, provider, insurer, etc.
- The reduced productivity that comes with poor organization.
- The time, effort, and cost of prioritizing which accounts should be addressed first.
- The lack of uniformity that results from both internal and external AR processing teams, which complete their workflow differently.
- The inevitable human errors that result in lower quality. and ultimately in more denials.
- The cost of working with an external vendor.
