Our Goals

The core goal was to increase revenue and reduce claim rejections while achieving a 99% first-time pass rate. The approach included implementing the right billing practices, daily review of ERA/EOBs, timely payment posting and patient balance billing. Additional services, such as securing prior authorizations, should be implemented further to reduce unnecessary workflow burden on providers and office staff. The bottom line was to ensure that their revenue streams are maximized and their healthcare services run smoothly.
