There are more denials for documentation reasons than in most outpatient specialties for wound care. Surface area measurements, tissue classification, debridement depth and advanced therapy medical necessity criteria are all important for accurate coding and payment by payers. These are not enforced by generic platforms at code entry time, and are only noticed as denials weeks later. MedCare MSO's wound care billing software is designed to automatically apply specialty-specific rules and documentation to claims, before they are sent for reimbursement, to reduce the rate of wound care claim rejections that can be more than necessary.
Manual billing is particularly labor intensive within wound care clinics, as these specialty clinics have a chronic care practice with weekly debridement appointments, reoccurring dressing change charges, multi-episode NPWT rentals and extended duration skin substitute treatment plans that require ongoing billing coordination that generic tools are unable to do well. Our wound care clinic software automates charge capture from clinical documentation, allows for real-time eligibility checks, enables ERA posting, generates statements, and processes denials, to help you billing team dedicate more time to complex payer escalations and patient service rather than mundane administrative work.
Wound care clinics that move to a dedicated wound care billing software for practice management software see A/R days reduced and collection rates increased within 90 days of go/no-go. These clinical documentation to revenue capture accelerators, combined with cleaner claims via pre-submission scrubbing, automated ERA posting and a structured denial recovery process all work together to bring revenue one step closer to the cash collected in the month after treatment, providing a more predictable and reliable monthly cash flow picture for administrators.
