A. We install a scanner at each of our facilities and the data is scanned directly into our system. It is then coded with CPT and diagnosis codes, scrubbed, then released electronically to the insurance carriers. The revenue is then deposited directly into the clients account and posted to our system through electronic remittance. We compare the charge sheet to the surgery schedule to ensure we have all the necessary data to complete the charge entry. Our system has an ‘expected pay module’ that lets us know if we are posting ‘underpayments.’

We are successful because we constantly monitor the performance of our employees by running various reports on a daily basis to ensure our data is accurate.
