Billing and Collection Process Review

The revenue cycle consulting team will evaluate all home care and hospice revenue cycle processes from the management of unbilled claims through and including posting of cash receipts. These reviews typically identify internal control weaknesses, inefficiencies in processes and missing compliance procedures.

Recommendations will be made regarding staffing levels, job descriptions, current duties, documentation flow, tracking mechanisms, etc.

These billing and collection process reviews are often performed in conjunction with an operational review. Since the front office staff is critical to the success of the back office staff we typically review intake, case management, eligibility, authorization, quality & education, performance improvement, clinical supervision, OASIS processing, orders processing, medical records and documentation auditing as a part of this process.
