Revenue Cycle Management

Do you feel like your medical practice is leaving money on the table? Revenue cycle management (RCM) is essential to ensure that doesn’t happen.  

But what is RCM? Revenue cycle management software is a system that manages and automates many of the tasks involved in a patient’s financial journey from start to finish. 

At its core, RCM software is designed to do three things: 

  • Improve your health system’s cash flow 
  • Help you get a clear picture of your practice’s financial performance 
  • Help you get a clear picture of your practice’s financial health 

With the right RCM solution in place, your medical practice will be able to run more efficiently and effectively. You’ll be able to get paid faster, manage your costs more effectively, and make better decisions about your business. 

Accumedic revenue cycle management is a comprehensive solution that automates many tasks in managing a patient’s payment experience. With Accumedic, you’ll be able to improve your practice’s cash flow, get a clear picture of your financial health, and make better decisions about your business. 

What Is Revenue Cycle Management?

Revenue cycle management (RCM) is the financial process using medical billing software (that healthcare facilities use) to track patient care events from start to finish and ensure claims are paid correctly. 

RCM aims to optimize practice cash flow by reducing the time between services being rendered and when patient service revenue is received. To do so, healthcare providers must track data and submit clean claims promptly while also following up on unpaid claims. A proper revenue cycle management software is designed to automate and streamline these tasks that often become administrative burdens.

Common Revenue Cycle Management Tasks

Revenue cycle management encompasses several of the following tasks.

  • Scheduling Appointments — Scheduling appointments is one of the most important aspects of revenue cycle management. When appointments are scheduled smoothly without issue, it can help reduce no-shows, improve patient satisfaction, and increase practice efficiency. There are several factors to consider when scheduling appointments, such as healthcare provider availability, patient demand, and office hours.
  • Checking Patients in and Out — When patients arrive for their appointments, RCM software helps to check them in quickly and efficiently. This includes scanning their health insurance cards, verifying their medical record information and all patient demographic data is current.
  • Filing Insurance Claims — Filing insurance claims is one of the most important aspects of the revenue cycle process. When patients receive care, health insurance companies are billed for that care. The claim submission filing must be correct and prompt so that patients do not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses.

    RCM software helps healthcare providers file claims submissions quickly and accurately. The software automatically updates patient information and verifies insurance coverage. This ensures that the claims are filed correctly and on time. As a result, patients receive the care they need without worrying about billing and payments.

  • Verifying Patient Eligibility — The other important aspect of healthcare revenue cycle management is verifying patient eligibility. This ensures that patients receive the necessary care without any delays or complications.

    Effective revenue cycle management software helps to authenticate patient eligibility quickly and efficiently. The software automatically updates patient information and confirms active insurance coverage. This ensures that the claims are filed correctly and promptly. As a result, patient care is given expediently without them worrying about the medical billing process and payment.

  • Billing, Payments, and Patient Collections — Healthcare revenue cycle management is essential for any and all healthcare practices. It encompasses all aspects of accurate billing and collecting payments, from creating invoices to issuing refunds for the patient’s financial responsibility, as well as creating and submitting claims for insurance follow-up. This process can be complex, but a good RCM system can simplify it.
  • Managing Denials — The revenue cycle process is a critical part of any healthcare entity but managing claim denials can be especially challenging. Denials can significantly impact your organization’s bottom line, so it’s important to take steps to minimize them. RCM software can help you track and manage claim denials, quickly and easily identifying patterns and taking corrective action.
  • Submitting Claims to Payers — The healthcare revenue cycle management process is critical for ensuring that your practice is paid for its medical services. The first step in remittance processing is submitting claims to payers. This can be a time-consuming and complex process and must comply with regulatory requirements, so it is important to partner with a company specializing in RCM software.
