You see the price, make the payment, and receive the item or service. The entire transaction takes a matter of seconds. Healthcare reimbursement is far more convoluted. The biggest difference between healthcare and other industries is that providers are paid <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> services are rendered. Healthcare reimbursement is often a month\u2019s long process that requires multiple steps, each of which can go wrong at any moment, further delaying payment to the provider and potentially saddling patients with bills they don\u2019t understand and therefore don\u2019t pay. Ultimately, healthcare reimbursement in full isn&#8217;t even a guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Providers are Paid<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some providers\u2014mostly independent physicians\u2014avoid the complex maze of healthcare reimbursement altogether by simply choosing not to accept insurance. Instead, they bill patients directly and avoid the administrative burden of submitting claims and appealing denials. Still, many providers can\u2019t afford to do this. Participating on multiple insurance panels means providers have access to a wider pool of potential patients, many of whom benefit from low-cost healthcare coverage under the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcare.gov\/glossary\/affordable-care-act\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affordable Care Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. More potential patients = more potential healthcare reimbursement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When billing insurance, consider the following five steps that providers must take to receive and retain healthcare reimbursement:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 1. Document the details necessary for payment.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providers log into the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/ehr\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">electronic health record (EHR)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and document important details regarding a patient\u2019s history and presenting problem. They also document information about the exam and their thought process in terms of establishing a diagnosis and treatment plan. All of this information goes directly into the patient\u2019s medical record where it\u2019s stored securely and becomes the foundation for the medical necessity of the services provided.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2. Assign medical codes. <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providers or certified medical coders assign medical codes in the electronic health record (EHR), or the EHR may suggest codes through automation. These codes translate narrative documentation into concise terms that payers use to understand what services physicians or other healthcare professionals perform and why. This includes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/Medicare\/Coding\/ICD10\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that capture diagnoses as well as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that denote procedures and services. The provider will enter these codes into the software followed by a claim submission either electronically or on paper. Subsequently, payers will review these claims before rendering healthcare reimbursement. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount physicians are paid differs depending on the specific payer contract and\/or fee schedule. However, regardless of payer, healthcare reimbursement works basically the same way. Each service or procedure has an associated payment rate based on the work that\u2019s required to perform the job. The rate also takes practice and malpractice expenses into consideration. In this example of a fee-for-service model, the more services physicians perform, the more they\u2019re paid. Physicians can negotiate their healthcare reimbursement rates under commercial contracts; however, they\u2019re locked into geographically-adjusted payments from Medicare. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospitals are paid based on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diagnosis-related groups (DRG)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that represent fixed amounts for each hospital stay. When a hospital treats a patient and spends less than the DRG payment, it makes a profit. When the hospital spends more than the DRG payment treating the patient, it loses money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasingly, healthcare reimbursement is shifting toward value-based<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> models<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in which physicians and hospitals are paid based on the quality\u2014not volume\u2014of services rendered. Payers assess quality based on patient outcomes as well as a provider\u2019s ability to contain costs. Providers earn more healthcare reimbursement when they\u2019re able to provide high-quality, low-cost care as compared with peers and their own benchmark data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3. Submit the claim electronically.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providers may submit claims directly to payers, or they may choose to submit electronically and use a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hcpro.com\/HIM-46175-866\/What-is-a-healthcare-clearinghouse.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clearinghouse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that serves as an intermediary, reviewing claims to identify potential errors. In many instances, when errors occur, the clearinghouse rejects the claim allowing providers to make corrections and submit a \u2018clean claim\u2019 to the payer. These clearinghouses also translate claims into a standard format so they\u2019re compatible with a payer\u2019s software to enable healthcare reimbursement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 4. Interpret the payer\u2019s response.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a claim passes successfully through the clearinghouse, a payer reviews the claim and either <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adjudicates fully towards<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the allowable amount or rejects all or a portion of the claim. Payers communicate healthcare reimbursement rejections to providers using <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpc-edi.com\/reference\/codelists\/healthcare\/remittance-advice-remark-codes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remittance advice codes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that include brief explanations. Providers must review these codes to determine whether and how they can correct and resubmit the claim or bill the patient. For example, sometimes payers reject services that shouldn\u2019t be billed together during a single visit. Other times, they reject services due to a lack of medical necessity or because those services take place during a specified timeframe after a related procedure. Rejections could also be due to non-coverage or a whole host of other reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare reimbursement is also often a shared responsibility between payers and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/understanding-the-impact-of-patient-consumerization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">patients<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Many patients ultimately end up owing a copayment, coinsurance and\/or deductible amount that they pay directly to the provider. This amount varies depending on the patient\u2019s insurance plan. For example, with 80\/20 insurance, the provider accepts 80% of the allowable amount, and the patient pays the remaining 20%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 5. Prepare for post-payment audits.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although providers can take steps to identify and prevent errors on the front end, they still need to contend with post-payment audits during which payers request documentation to ensure they\u2019ve paid claims correctly. If documentation doesn\u2019t support the services billed, providers may need to repay the healthcare reimbursement they received. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of these steps takes time and resources, two of the most limited commodities in today\u2019s provider settings. As the industry continues to pivot toward value-based payments, health information technology will play a critical role in streamlining processes and increasing efficiencies related to healthcare reimbursement.<\/span><span style=\"display: none;\" data-sumome-listbuilder-embed-id=\"63167955acecc7c017d1349e21976b34c69d1681cdcbe88c9a25211c5006fd11\">DUMMYTEXT<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In most industries, paying for a service or item is straightforward.
