Reimbursement Analysis
In today’s environment, every dollar counts. Every practice needs a watchdog that ensures managed care contracts are followed, co-pays are collected, and collection activity is done in a timely, effective manner. Many hospital agreements require an outside look at collections when stipends are involved. ACE provides an objective opinion and accountability through our process.
Our reimbursement review incorporates education and training for your entire staff. ACE works independently to ensure the billing company or your staff is doing everything legally possible to effectively collect money owed.
Outsourcing billing requires special physician oversight and responsibility. Not only must you ensure claims are submitted correctly, but the practice is getting paid properly for what is performed. In recent reimbursement audits, we have found numerous errors of incorrect physician compensation. These audits focus on accounts receivable reports, contracts, explanations of benefits and denials received from claims files to streamline your bottom line.
Our Coding Division consists of certified, highly experienced staff in the specialty of anesthesia and pain management. ACE Coders are utilized as an extension of many practices and billing companies’ coding departments for both long and short term projects. Our coders are production-based, priced by the record.
A coding engagement begins with a planning call to discuss your group’s specific needs such as volume, frequency, turn-around time, and workflow. We have a great deal of experience with remote coding workflow and are equipped with tools to ensure an efficient and productive coding process. As with all our services, ACE will tailor the process to best suit your business.
