Revenue Cycle Management Automation Using Artificial Intelligence

Updated: Apr 14

The use of automation and artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the way we think about revenue cycle management, with healthcare leaders believing that AI is a high priority. A robust and durable revenue cycle management (RCM) automation solution is necessary to handle the complexity of tasks, ranging from patient eligibility determinations to denials management. There are several key steps providers can take to make their revenue cycle management automation more durable and efficient.

Do You Really Need Artificial Intelligence for Revenue Cycle Management?

In short, the answer is yes. The revenue cycle consists of many repetitive operations. These operations can be time-consuming, monotonous, and prone to human error. Automating tedious manual processes, such as processing denied claims and missing authorizations, can help keep productivity high and resource costs low. By automating many rote tasks—such as handling denied claims and missed authorizations—your team can focus on higher-level work, keeping productivity high and resource costs low.

Health care providers often lack a centralized method for sharing updates with the appropriate people across their health system. As a result, departments must devote staff time to digesting the same messages and newsletters. Such inefficiency can result in thousands of dollars in rewritten claims.

Improved patient matching leads to fewer claims denials.

Patient matching is the process of comparing a patient's demographic information to the information contained in an insurance database. If there is no match, the claim will be denied.

If you have a high percentage of denials due to patient matching errors, your practice may benefit from an audit and review of your patient records.

A recent article on the topic of patient matching appeared in the Journal of AHIMA (American Health Information Management Association). It points out that provider organizations need to be aware that as electronic health records (EHRs) become more prevalent, so too does the potential for claims denials related to patient matching.

The authors point out that EHRs are designed to reduce duplicative information entry by storing data from previous encounters with patients. However, if there is not a match between a patient's name or social security number and those contained in an insurance database, then the claim will be denied.

According to the article, one way to avoid this problem is to ensure that all physicians who see patients use standardized nomenclature when entering demographic information into their EHRs. This includes using all three parts of a person's name (first, middle and last) as well as their birthdate and Social Security number if possible.

Revenue Cycle is the process of managing the collection and payment of money from patients or third-party payers to provide goods or services. It can also be described as the cycle of money from the time a patient walks into your office until you get paid for services rendered.

Here are some ways you can optimize your Revenue Cycle:

Here are some ways you can optimize your Revenue Cycle:

1. Review Patient Accounts - The first step in optimizing your Revenue Cycle is to review patient accounts that are past due. This may require looking at the terms of service, insurance policies and contracts with payers to determine why there has been an increase in these accounts receivable. Once you've identified why these accounts are past due, you can take action by sending reminders or making phone calls to patients who have not paid their bills on time.

1. Implement Automated Billing - You can save time and prevent errors by automating your billing process. This will allow you to focus on working with patients rather than manually entering invoices into an accounting system or filing claims with insurance companies using paper forms. AI powered Jorie Bots allow you to enter patient information once and then transmit it electronically to insurance companies, saving valuable time while reducing errors in billing claims for services rendered.

The world of medical coding is changing. As the healthcare industry moves toward value-based care, it’s becoming more important than ever to accurately code every encounter. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) systems come in.

AI systems can help you improve your medical coding accuracy by providing valuable feedback that helps you identify any errors before they happen. They can also provide a detailed analysis of your data so you can see if there are any trends or patterns that need to be addressed.

The Benefits Of Using A Medical Coding AI System

Medical coding is a complex process that involves multiple steps and multiple parties working together. There are several different types of coders who work with different types of information, including:

Billing coders – These coders review claims for errors and create new ones when necessary. They also assign appropriate codes based on the patient's condition and other factors.

Coder assistants – These coders assist billing coders by performing simple tasks like entering data into an electronic medical records system or retrieving information from an insurance carrier's website or portal service.

Data entry personnel – These employees enter medical data into EMRs, but they typically don't perform any kind of analysis on the information they enter; this means they don't have access.
