Any medical practice is going to benefit from top-notch revenue cycle management (RCM). When RCM is optimized, it improves the bottom line of your practice. You can lower the number of rejected claims you receive, shorten payment delays, and just make your payment processes smoother overall. So, how does one go about making their RCM practices better? Here are tips for improving your practice’s revenue cycle management procedures.
Improve Your Appointment Scheduling
It’s important to get patients into your medical facility as smoothly as possible. There are two steps in order to make this goal a reality. First, you have to make it easier for your patients to get their appointments planned out. Second, you need to send out reminders to ensure that patients are more likely to show up at their scheduled times.
If you upgrade your facility’s practice management software, both of these areas can be improved. Just be sure that your management software sends out automated reminders to patients, while also providing a patient portal that allows patients to get their own appointment scheduling done.
Get Patient Eligibility Verification Automated
You can instantly raise the efficiency of your medical practice with the power of automation, and patient eligibility is one of those tasks that you’re able to automate. When you know that patients are eligible for treatment beforehand, you won’t encounter as many rejected claims, which makes the billing process easier for both patients and providers. Not only that, but you can also get your staff away from the monotonous office tasks, and instead get them working more with the patients themselves, which helps give your patients a better experience at your medical facility.
Verify Your Payment Process Upfront
Whenever you have patients scheduling appointments with your facility, part of improving your revenue cycle management processes includes verifying your patients’ payment methods ahead of time, as well as their insurance. Patients who book their appointments through a portal should be able to provide this information while getting their appointment planned out. Allowing patients to verify their payment processes upfront will help to simplify the payment process as a whole, meaning you’ll be more likely to receive payments when they’re due.
