Charge Capture
Do you know unbilled charges are one of the biggest areas of lost revenue for physicians? And with the continued pressure on physician reimbursement, the last thing you want is to be providing your services for free. MSN employs more people to make sure all client charges are captured, verified against source logs (such as exam schedules or dictations), and billed out. Every day.
Documentation. Physician Education. Coding.
The most effective billing begins with the radiologist and accurate documentation of the services rendered. MSN’s program of ongoing physician education keeps our radiology clients current with clinical and regulatory requirements. The result is more accurate and compliant coding, and improved collections.
Denial Mitigation
Before we submit a client’s claims for services, we ensure they’re complete, error-free and can be accepted for payment – thereby speeding up cash flow from clean claims and reducing the potential for payer denials.
Accounts Receivable Control
MSN actively works the accounts receivable (bills submitted but not yet paid). Some billing companies simply run automated processes that grab the low-hanging fruit and then write off the rest to bad debt. Rather than allowing charges to stall and become old unresolved debt, MSN’s AR experts work to uncover why something is not being paid. This costs more than an automated process, but it’s part of MSN’s investment to do the right thing to achieve the best results for clients.
Balance of People and Technology
MSN knows a balance of people and technology is needed for effective billing. Our billing technology is designed specifically for radiology. And our company invests more in expert people to work with payers, identifying and resolving root cause issues affecting payment for your services.
Patient Access
High deductible healthcare plans mean healthcare consumers are now the largest payer group for radiology and imaging services. Patients need multiple ways to access and pay their bills. MSN offers efficient tools for effective billing through e-statements/mail, an online patient portal with live chat, call centers with auto payment options and in-person operators, and consumer access from smart phone devices.
Communication
What a physician is paid seems to change almost daily in healthcare. That’s why MSN diligently updates our clients on issues and topics affecting reimbursement. And we train your support staff whose work can impact the ultimate resolution of radiology charges.
“Switching to MSN is the best decision our group has ever made. MSN is not only a top-notch billing company but also a group of trusted colleagues and advisors. Their depth of expertise and experience has helped us navigate the challenges of a radiology practice with confidence. Quite simply, we are a much better practice because of our partnership with MSN.”
