Eight Steps to Revenue Excellence

Our workflow transforms complex revenue cycle management into a repeatable, auditable system. Each phase has clear ownership, SLA commitments, and quality checkpoints.

1

Patient Intake & Eligibility Verification

Owner: Front-End Team

SLA: 2 hours from patient registration

We verify insurance coverage in real time, confirm benefits, and flag authorization requirements before services are rendered. This prevents denials at the source.

Audit Checkpoint: 100% verification rate within business hours

2

Encounter Documentation Review

Owner: Clinical Documentation Specialists

SLA: 24 hours post-encounter

Our team reviews clinical notes for completeness, medical necessity, and compliance. Missing data is flagged for provider clarification before coding begins.

Audit Checkpoint: Documentation quality score ≥ 95%

3

Professional Medical Coding

Owner: Certified Coders (CPC, COC)

SLA: 48 hours from documentation approval

We apply ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes with precision, ensuring every claim reflects the highest appropriate reimbursement while remaining audit-proof.

Audit Checkpoint: Monthly coding accuracy audit ≥ 98%

4

Claim Scrubbing & Submission

Owner: Claims Operations

SLA: Same-day submission after coding

Every claim passes through automated and manual scrubbing to catch errors before submission. We submit electronically to clearinghouses for immediate tracking.

Audit Checkpoint: Clean claim rate ≥ 98.6%

5

Payment Posting & Reconciliation

Owner: Payment Processing Team

SLA: 24 hours from remittance receipt

We post all payments, contractual adjustments, and patient balances with precision. Each EOB is matched to the claim, and discrepancies are escalated immediately.

Audit Checkpoint: Zero unposted remittances > 48 hours

6

Denial Management & Appeals

Owner: Denial Resolution Specialists

SLA: 5 business days from denial

We categorize every denial, identify root causes, and submit appeals with clinical documentation. Our goal is to overturn 70%+ of initial denials within 30 days.

Audit Checkpoint: Appeal success rate ≥ 70%

7

Accounts Receivable Follow-Up

Owner: AR Recovery Team

SLA: Weekly aging review, 30-day touch cycle

We work unpaid claims systematically, contacting payers and patients to resolve outstanding balances. Every account is tracked until collected or written off with your approval.

Audit Checkpoint: AR > 90 days < 15% of total

8

Analytics & Performance Reporting

Owner: Revenue Cycle Analysts

SLA: Monthly dashboard + quarterly strategic review

You receive real-time dashboards showing KPIs: clean claim rate, days in AR, collection ratio, denial rate by payer, and more. We turn data into actionable insights.

Built-In Quality Checkpoints

Every claim passes through multiple validation layers before submission. Our quality system isn't an afterthought—it's woven into the workflow.

Pre-Submission Audits

Automated scrubbing flags common errors (missing modifiers, invalid CPT-ICD pairings, authorization lapses). A human coder reviews every flagged claim before release.

We maintain up-to-date rule sets for 200+ commercial and government payers, ensuring claims meet each payer's unique requirements from day one.
