Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Anyone Else not Using a PM?

So far all I do is use the scheduler in AC and then output to the Office Ally file and upload to their clearinghouse. Anyone else doing this?? Other than reports are their any other things that I'm missing by not having a PM portion?

I am doing this, but also keep track of everything on spreadsheets for billing purposes. How do you bill and collect and track denial, etc...?

I have a file cabinet with 12 hanging folders in it for each month and 3 folders in each of the 12 labeled "Awaiting EOB", "Awaiting Patient Payment" and "Paid in Full". Once I get an EOB back I enter the payment and write off into Amazing Charts and print an invoice to mail. I then move the superbill from the Awaiting EOB file to the Awaiting Patient Payment file. At the end of the month I mail the invoices out. When they come back with the $ I enter into amazing charts and move the superbill to Paid in Full Folder.

As far as denials, Office Ally will tell you when you get deniles so I just go in a fix them that day. Usually it's because I typed an insurance # in wrong so I only get 1 or 2 deniles per month.

Any suggestions on how to improve the process?

How do you wait a month? My practice consultant comes over with two guns blazing if we go two days without submitting claims. I guess it all turns out the same, I guess it's just cash flow.

I submit the claims at the end of every day and then I put the superbill in the awaiting EOB file until it comes back. At the end of the month I send out invoices to everyone in the "awaiting patient payment file" (those who still have a balance after their insurance co pays)
