Caryl Serbin, RN, BSN, LHRM, President & Founder of Serbin Medical Billing, has contributed a column to Becker's ASC Review discussing areas of struggle with internal ASC revenue cycle management.
The areas discussed are as follows:
- Coding
- Clean claims
- Denials and incorrect payments follow-up
- Appeals
- Patient statements
- Refunds
- Accounts receivable
- Relevant reports
As Caryl writes, "There are other areas in the revenue cycle that can be problematic. Those described [in the column] are just a composite of likely areas to examine for slowdowns in the revenue stream. It is important that a member of your ASC's management team continually audits all areas of the revenue cycle to prevent disruption of your cash flow."
