The Challenges

When MedCare MSO took over the DT nephrology practice in 2023, several critical issues were identified in the billing process

Delayed Claim Follow-Ups

The DT nephrology practice was facing slow follow-up on claims, especially those from services provided at hospitals and dialysis centers. This led to a high number of delayed or lost revenue.

Impact

Incorrect Coding and Modifier Usage

Errors in coding, whether due to incorrect modifiers or improper CPT codes, were leading to frequent claim denials and underpayments.

Impact

Lack of Reconciliation Process

Without a formal reconciliation process in place, the DT nephrology practice team struggled to ensure that all patient visits were billed accurately, resulting in missed charges.

Impact

These challenges not only impacted DT nephrology practice financially but also hindered the overall operational efficiency of the office.

The Solution

To tackle these challenges, MedCare MSO implemented a comprehensive set of solutions that targeted the key problem areas

MedCare MSO conducted a thorough audit of all past claims to identify discrepancies. Based on these findings, MedCare MSO provided tailored training sessions for DT nephrology practice office staff on proper modifier and CPT code usage.

What We Fixed

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Development

A comprehensive SOP was developed to streamline the entire billing process. The SOP included pre-checking all claims for accuracy, verifying insurance eligibility, and reconciling patient visits with billed services.
