On the next business day not only does Tania need to contact the patient and advise them of the office's policy on post-dated checks and request the copayment immediately she needs to advise Susan on the policy as well. Susan should know post-dated checks violate state laws and health insurance policies.

Most claims today are submitted through an electronic format directly or indirectly through a “clearinghouse” where claims are grouped and sent to the payer. Two primary payment grouping algorithms are DRG’s and APCs, both are used by Medicare for hospital payment and many commercial payers. Providers and payers use claims editing software to detect possible errors in claim submission to assure maximum payment for medical services and to shorten an amount of time from claim submission to payment. CMS has developed the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) to promote national correcting coding methodologies and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment (Cleverley 26). CMS also has designated edit checks called the outpatient code edits (OCE). The OCE uses claim-level and line item-level information in the editing process. Each category in the OCE has six dispositions which help to ensure all Fiscal Intermediary/Medicare Administrative Contractor (FI/MACs). The four claim-level is rejection, denial, return to provider, and suspension; and the two-line item-level is rejection and

The process for medical billing involves a health care provider submitting, and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order to receive payment for services rendered; such as treatments and investigations. Once the procedure and diagnosis codes are determined, the medical biller will transmit the claim to the insurance company. Most physicians have medical directors that review claims for patient eligibility. Physician reimbursement and the coding to support it are critically important to the sustained health of any physicians practice. Under the contract provisions the physicians are responsible for rendering the services to the patients. In the billing process physicians need to know how services are rendered.

This is a bill of Coffee Regional Medical Center concerning the patient Damian Gonzalez on the following day 11/19/15.

The key elements to a healthy and successful medical practice are a reliable and properly trained staff and a sound revenue cycle that produces satisfactory reimbursement. Revenue cycle management starts at the front-end with pre-registration of the patient. Complete and accurate recording of patient insurance and billing information is imperative. Insurance verification plays a major role in the assurance of reimbursement. The front desk should counsel and confirm financial responsibility with the patient during the registration process. Patient encounter is equally as important. Correct coding of patient diagnosis and procedures minimizes the likelihood of claim rejection. The next step in the revenue cycle is claim submission. The claims process begins with the provider treating the patient then sending a bill to the designated payer. Before the bill is sent, a certified coding specialist or medical billing specialist prepares and reviews the claim for any inaccuracies. There are a few ways the claim is submitted, either manually or electronically. Once the claim is submitted, follow-up with third party payers is a necessary step in the
