Our full service billing solutions start at verifying benefits, include billing and collections, concluding with clear reporting. Learn more about our services at every stage of the billing process.
Verification of Benefits
Tired of the back and forth with insurance companies? Overwhelmed by clinical insurance jargon? Managed care has a lot of moving parts from appeals to documentation to understanding admission criteria. Failing to do so can delay patient’s access to care and result in the denial of claims. Element Medical Billing can not only streamline benefit verification but maximize the care your patients can receive. More thorough treatment means more patient success stories.
How We Help
- Verify benefit coverage with primary and secondary payers
- Determine the validity of coverage for the desired date of service
- Determine patient’s financial responsibility (copay, coinsurance, deductibles)
- Initiate prior authorization requests and obtain approval for treatment
Utilization Review
No matter how passionate your staff is about helping patients, you won’t get very far without proper funding. Utilization review is the matching of a patient’s needs to an appropriate level of care, otherwise known as a medical necessity. This ensures that your patients get the treatment they need but also serves to justify your business getting reimbursed by insurance companies. Our team has both practical clinical judgment and critical thinking to prevent the misuse or overutilization of facility resources.
How We Help
- Experts in admission and continued-stay criteria
- Advise your staff how to provide proper documentation
- Appeal to insurance companies on your behalf
