WHY PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENTS ARE DELAYED
Healthcare claim processing errors are often the cause of delayed or rejected provider reimbursements. When these go unresolved, it can mean not getting paid at all. Instead of wasting time filing appeals and calling insurance companies to check the status of your reimbursements, let Sky Methods find you a system that helps you avoid issues such as:
- Demographic errors (i.e. age, date of birth, sex, address)
- Inaccurate provider data
- Incorrect or outdated patient insurance ID
- Invalid CPT codes
- Missing pre-authorizations
Posting insurance and patient payments for healthcare claim processing is critical to your practice. If these are not posted, you can’t bill your patients for any remaining charges, co-pays, or coinsurance, nor can any secondary claims be created. This can end up costing your small practice thousands of dollars.
Physicians spend up to 14% of their income dealing with health insurer requirements.
