The answer to getting your claims paid faster lies with your front office staff. You have to establish a front desk check-in accuracy process that works. Their ability to correctly and completely collect the necessary information from your patients at check-in is the key.
Sure, it sounds easy enough: just ask some questions, get some paperwork filled out, and collect information from their insurance card, right?
WRONG. If your front desk check-in staff doesn’t have a firm understanding of how to get what you need, you can count on your payments being delayed or not arriving at all.
The good news is that front desk management expert, Pam Joslin, MM, CPC, CMC, CMIS, CMOM, CMCO, CEMA, CMCA-E/M, can help.
