Medical Claims Scrubbing Software Improves Revenue Flow
What is the Purpose of Claim Scrubbers?
One of the most important aspects of medical billing is the ability to process claims quickly. Nonetheless, it negatively affects the revenue flow if quick processing results in repeated denials.
However, PrognoCIS’ claims scrubber software can improve revenue flow by quickly, and accurately creating squeaky-clean claims.
With claim scrubber software, instead of spending time investigating and then addressing denials, staff can improve each patient’s overall experience.
What Are the Benefits of Using a Medical Claims Scrubber?
Faster Payment
The quickest way to improve revenue flow is by submitting an error-free medical claim.
Claim Scrubbing in Medical Billing Helps Prevent Denials
After a claim denial, the provider must correct and resubmit the claim in a timely manner. A clean claim in medical billing helps prevent insurance denials, consequently, using claim scrubbers improves revenue flow.
Eliminates the Need for Manual Claim Scrubbing
The customizable, practice-specific claim scrubbers that PrognoCIS’ medical billing software provides eliminate the need for manual claim scrubbing. In addition, using well-designed claim scrubber software makes it possible to achieve a first pass ratio of as much as 97 percent.
Overlooked Denials Result in Lost Revenue
