Frequently Asked Questions

 
 

are we leaving any money on the table?

Medical practices work hard to streamline workflows, improve processes, and achieve maximum patient satisfaction. Revenue cycle review can help to ensure that work is reimbursed by payers. 

are we billing medicaid/medicare correctly?

There are numerous federal and state regulations governing billing claims to Medicare and Medicaid. There are guidelines that apply to all clinic and provider types as well as those that apply only to community health centers (FQHC or RHC), home health agencies, and nursing homes. MediVise's revenue cycle review will help your practice achieve billing compliance with all applicable guidelines. 

are we collecting the most we can from insurance ?

Managed care contracts should be reviewed and fee schedules renegotiated periodically. Additionally, claims must be reviewed to ensure that they are paid in accordance with established fee schedules. MediVise revenue cycle review  uncovers errors in claims payment and can provide the tools to help your staff renegotiate unfavorable rates.

do my providers document correctly? 

Clinical documentation improvement is a recent CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) focus area.

are we billing incident-to or locum tenens correctly?

Incident-to billing is the practice of billing claims for outpatient services provided by a non-physician practitioner (NPP) under the billing information associated with a physician. Locum tenens physicians are physicians who work in place of the regular physician when that physician is absent. Both practices result in claims that are billed with names and numbers other than those of the rendering provider listed. Both locum and incident-to billing are complicated  and frequently misused. MediVise chart audits can help uncover errors and correctly navigate these processes.
