Three payer strategies to increase revenue

Abstract:
If medical practices use these three payer strategies, they will increase revenue. Analyzing each payer's performance and then comparing payers with each other will highlight those who are not performing well. You may also want to compare the experience you are having with a payer to the results from the American Medical Association's fourth annual National Health Insurer Report Card, which was released in June 2011.2 Medical practices need to increase payer-specific knowledge among staff and physicians. One way is to analyze your denial data to create targeted training sessions for the practice's team. Finally, consider how new technologies, such as claim scrubbers, can automate and streamline the front-end claim-editing process, which will result in receiving payments faster and reducing your denial rate.
