Order Placement and Documentation Collection
A physician orders the necessary HME for the patient, and all required documentation (prescription, medical necessity forms, etc.) is collected.
Eligibility and Authorization Verification
The patient's insurance coverage is verified to confirm eligibility for the equipment. If necessary, prior authorization is obtained from the payer to avoid denials.
Order Fulfillment
Once eligibility and authorization are confirmed, the equipment is provided to the patient, and delivery is documented.
Claim Submission
A claim is prepared with all relevant details (CPT/HCPCS codes, patient information, etc.) and submitted to the payer for reimbursement.
Payment Posting
After the claim is processed, the payment from the payer is received, posted to the account, and reconciled
Denial Management
If a claim is denied or underpaid, the billing team investigates the reason, corrects any issues, and resubmits the claim.
Accounts Receivable Management
Outstanding claims and patient balances are monitored, and follow-up actions are taken to collect unpaid amounts from payers and patients.
