Transforming Medical Practices: MEDSCoders’ Impact on Revenue Cycle Management

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, maintaining a financially healthy practice while delivering top-notch patient care can be a challenge. Many practices find themselves struggling with administrative burdens, increasing denial rates, and longer accounts receivable (AR) cycles. At MEDSCoders, we understand these challenges and have designed solutions that not only streamline operations but also significantly improve a practice’s bottom line.

Today, we’re excited to share a powerful case study detailing how MEDSCoders transformed the finances of a midsize independent medical practice. If you’re a medical professional looking to optimize your billing process, reduce staff burden, and boost profitability, this story will resonate with you.

The Challenge: Internal & Family Medicine Center in Arizona

The Internal & Family Medicine Center in Arizona faced a common issue: balancing high-quality patient care with the demands of running a financially sound practice. The administrative load was heavy, their AR days were high, and the denial rates were affecting their cash flow. This created unnecessary stress on the providers and office staff, who were caught between caring for their patients and keeping the practice profitable. They needed a solution that could ease the administrative burden and improve their financial performance.

The Solution: MEDSCoders Steps In

MEDSCoders took a comprehensive approach to overhaul their revenue cycle management. Our solutions are designed to empower healthcare providers by taking on critical tasks such as billing, denial management, and scheduling—allowing providers to focus on what they do best: caring for patients.

Here’s how MEDSCoders transformed their practice:

1. No More Hiring & Managing Revenue Cycle Staff
   MEDSCoders provides a complete revenue cycle management (RCM) solution, eliminating the need for the practice to hire, train, or manage in-house billing staff. This freed up resources, allowing the providers to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.
2. Patient Scheduling and Follow-ups
   We took charge of the patient scheduling process, from booking appointments to sending reminders for follow-ups, test results, and prescription refills. This minimized missed appointments and significantly reduced the workload at the front desk.
3. Insurance Eligibility and Authorizations
   To reduce claim denial rates, MEDSCoders handled insurance eligibility and benefits verification, along with pre- and retro-authorizations, all done 48 hours before patient visits. This ensured that billing was accurate and timely, leading to a smoother revenue stream.
4. Accurate Data Entry with Remote Medical Scribes
   Our remote medical scribes entered data accurately and ensured clinical charts included all necessary information for proper diagnoses. This not only reduced the time providers spent on paperwork but also increased patient volume, allowing them to see more patients and improve care.
5. Efficient Denial Management with Automation
   Denials were followed up promptly using automated tools that sped up the insurance verification and medical billing process, reducing errors and accelerating the overall claims process.

The Results: Dramatic Improvements in Financial Performance

The impact on the Internal & Family Medicine Center’s finances was significant:

• 78% Reduction in AR Days: AR days were reduced from 175 to just 45, improving the practice’s cash flow and financial stability.
• 32% Improvement in Gross Collection Rate: The practice saw a substantial increase in their ability to collect payments efficiently, improving overall revenue.
• 64% Increase in Payments per Encounter: With accurate billing and optimized processes, the practice saw a dramatic boost in payments per patient encounter.
