How Outsourcing your Homecare Billing Can Benefit Your Agency

Two of the most critical tasks for any homecare agency are claims submission and payment processing. Knowing you have a steady revenue stream alleviates a lot of stress, both at the agency level and for your staff. Less stress on your staff means less turnover which in turn eliminates the cost of replacing and training new employees. There are several reasons to consider using an external service for your billing needs. Below are just a few of the key benefits. 

Faster, Cleaner Claims Submission

Outsourcing your billing helps to eliminate many of the frustrations that come with claims processing. Expert billing services can assure an accurate claim is going out, significantly reducing billing and coding errors which results in reimbursement being held up, sometimes as much as two months.

Save Time, Reduce Overhead

The obvious time saver is the time spent on preparing the claims, but in addition to that is the time spent communicating with payers, resubmitting claims, and applying payments. At HealthWare our billing service includes processing electronic payment remittances, as well as paper checks, along with applying any necessary adjustments. Our billing experts will also follow-up on denied claims and handle correcting and resubmitting claims.

Patient Satisfaction

With less stress and less time spent on the entire revenue billing management cycle, your staff will be able to focus on patients and improve patient care and positively impact outcomes. You’ll also gain patient satisfaction with less claim hassles. Patients are dedicated to those agencies that take care of them and alleviate any billing concerns.
