Preparation – Training – Collections – Reimbursement

How the Effective Reimbursement Program Works

Revenue is lost at many points between scheduling a patient and receiving final payment. This program helps the owner establish control over the entire reimbursement line, with measurable staff responsibilities and practical systems for preventing, identifying and resolving lost or delayed income.

Prepare an Accurate Starting Picture

The program begins with benchmark statistics, accounts-receivable aging by payer and patient, coding and billing review, staff time analysis and a complete examination of the finance department’s functions and workflow.

Train the Owner and Finance Team

The owner and selected finance staff learn the policies, communication skills and practical tools needed for accurate billing, effective collections, payer follow-up, rate negotiations and objective management of the department.

Install Daily Billing and Collection Controls

The practice establishes daily billing and collection reports, claim-aging follow-up, payment and promise calendars, insurance verification, staff accountability and routine drilling for successful collection conversations.

Complete Four Implementation Phases

Through Phase 1, Phase 1A, Phase 2 and Phase 3, the practice addresses overdue claims, pursues appropriate reimbursement-rate updates, installs complete operational controls and verifies the program’s financial results.

From Lost and Delayed Income to a Controlled Reimbursement System

Preparation, training and four implementation phases strengthen the complete reimbursement line. Verification, billing, claims, collections, promises, payer rates and staff performance are tracked and handled with clear accountability.

Preparation: Find Where Income Is Getting Stuck

Establish benchmark statistics, review accounts-receivable aging, coding, staff duties and existing collection activity, then map the exact functions and flow of the finance department.

Training: Build the Complete Reimbursement System

Train the owner and selected staff on billing and collection policies, accurate claims, effective communication, payer evaluation, reimbursement requests, staff organization and statistical management.

Phases 1 and 1A: Recover Claims and Update Rates

Put finance staff fully onto their posts, attack large overdue accounts and pursue data-supported reimbursement-rate updates with the payers that must be brought into a viable range.

Phase 2: Control the Line From Verification to Payment

Verify coverage before care begins, bill daily, maintain payment and promise calendars, follow claims at 30, 60, 90 and 120-plus days and keep accurate records of every collection action.

Phase 3: Verify Results and Set the Next Goal

Confirm that the Patient Advocate and collections functions are operating, continue staff drilling, review the program’s return on investment and establish the practice’s next goal for continued growth.

Continue: Track, Drill and Follow Through

Keep the reimbursement statistics current, review collection activity regularly, strengthen staff communication and follow each unpaid or underpaid claim through to a definite resolution.

Quotes Dark

Since beginning the program we have gone from losing money per billable hour to being profitable.

At the completion of the program I am able to understand and answer financial questions regarding the business’s solvency. It is incredible to feel confident making informed decisions to control the trajectory of our business rather than our business controlling us.

Hannah Flynn – Therapy and Wellness Connection

Quotes Dark

Before doing the Effective Reimbursement Program, I thought we were under control with our accounts receivable, but I knew there was a piece missing.

What we were missing was a systematic approach for staying ahead of potential denied claims. We now have systems in place that hold each individual accountable and show me what each person has accomplished daily and weekly.
