[Blog] The Cloud: Taking the haze out of high tech

By Prime Care Tech Marketing on Fri, May 06, 2016 @ 06:00 PM

iStock_000079382619_Medium.jpgNormally, our blogs address either high-level views of revenue cycle management with an emphasis on billing automation. Or we get into the nitty-gritty of how-to’s for those who either prepare and submit the claims or supervise those who do. What we have discovered, though, among our contacts and clients from the C-Suite to the billing office is that many have asked us, “What is the cloud?” Haven’t you used a word almost all your life, but have never really looked up its definition? Then one day, you find yourself using the word in a conversation only to question your understanding and use of the word. Well, one of those words, we’ve discovered, is the “cloud”. So let’s give you a very quick and stratospheric overview. Here goes.

What is the cloud?

Never mind the distracting diagrams of arrows pointing to or away from a line rendering of cloud-to-computer relationships. (Disclaimer – there are several definitions of the cloud, but for our purposes, we’ll limit it to Software-as-a-Service or SaaS.) In this case, the applications and data you use reside somewhere other than in your computer or on your company’s network. Instead you access these as a service over the Internet. Hence, SaaS. They are located somewhere in the “cloud”. When you “Google” something, you are using the cloud. Are you a TurboTax customer? Likely you prepared and filed your taxes on line. That was the cloud. Have you purchased or sold anything on eBay? That was the cloud. You don’t know where exactly the servers containing the application and your data or transactions reside, but they are out there in a secure data center environment.

Why the cloud?

Simply put, someone else is managing the service for you. You don’t need to build, staff, manage hardware and software licenses, upgrade, and fix. You leave the job to someone else while you focus on what you need to do without unnecessary distractions. You also only use as much of the service as you need.

It’s like a utility. You pay for it on demand, such as the TurboTax example, or on a subscription basis, like our primeCLAIMS application.

No hassles for you. The application and your data are accessible anytime from anywhere you have a secure connection to the Internet.

What does that mean to Revenue Cycle Managers?

Revenue Cycle Management is complicated enough without worrying about and hassling with the hardware and software needed to prepare, process, submit, and monitor your claims until payment arrives. Using the cloud is simple. You focus only on the revenue collecting tasks at hand and what clearinghouse provides the best solution to meet your needs.

Summary

The cloud has revolutionized how you can monitor and manage claims through a clearinghouse. It speeds up the process, making the process practically transparent. It’s a win-win for all concerned. Just choose carefully. It just make cents.

Spotlight on April’s Revenue Cycle Management Blogs

By Prime Care Tech Marketing on Thu, Apr 28, 2016 @ 02:00 PM

Revenue-Cycle-Management-Blog-Spotlight-322x221.jpgRevenue Cycle Management is constant, a year-round effort, but periodically worth occasional scrutiny and cleaning up. Likewise, if you bill Medicare for services and need to file secondary claims, then taking a look again at automation through a clearinghouse may result in cleaning up those outstanding AR balances. This month’s blogs offer useful insights to help AR managers refresh revenue cycle best practices and remove the clutter of uncollected revenue.  

Spring clean your revenue cycle

This is the time of year to open the windows, air out the house, deep clean long neglected spaces, and tidy up. For AR managers, it’s also a good time to “spring clean” the revenue cycle in a few key ways.

  1. Update and refresh your payers’ contracts “wiki”.
  2. Check the aging.
  3. Revisit your pre-admission screening procedures.
  4. Make sure the census is correct.
  5. Stay on top of your Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
  6. Conduct a thorough claims triple check.
  7. Engage the right clearinghouse.

Learn how these steps can help you freshen up your revenue cycle management practices.

 

Secondary payer claims – finding ROI (Reducing Outstanding Income)

The ROI of automating secondary claims through a claims clearinghouse is potentially huge. Traditionally billers completed paper forms and mailed them to the payer. Sounds simple, but it wasn’t and, some providers are still submitting claims in this way. Phone calls and error-generated resubmittals contribute to a complex, cumbersome, costly, and prolonged payment process. With electronic claims automation, providers can securely submit and track claims to multiple payers all in one portal. In this blog, we highlight some of the advantages a claims clearinghouse can offer and the potential ROI when doing so.

Discover the benefits and ROI of automating secondary claims submission.
