Benefit Investigation

The technologies used by Value-Based RCM are innovative and data-driven. Using the latest technological advances, our dedicated professional staff leads the industry with unprecedented accuracy and turn-around times.

​

All calls with payers are recorded for quality, training, and to ensure appeal opportunities with payers are not lost if inaccurate information is provided.

​

The rigorous benefit investigation process results in your facility’s ability to make a sound admission decision using the criteria obtained during the payer encounter.

​

We believe the verification of benefits is not a one-time event. At Value-based RCM patient benefits are verified at a minimum of every thirty (30) days, more frequently if information provided or identified warrant a re-verification.

​

At Value-Based RCM, we understand “life happens”, this is the reason we have to support this key process with the best methods possible, provide the most accurate information without solely relying on payer-automated tools.

Claims Management

Value-Based RCM clients receive services based on the most integrated and data-driven systems.

​

Starting with evaluating the most efficient approach to obtaining daily charges from the facility, we leverage workflows currently in place or make recommendations to ensure an efficient and effective workflow.

​

At Value-Based RCM posting charges and claim submission is recommended to be done daily, but we understand this may not be a workflow the facility can support. During the revenue cycle assessment, this workflow will be determined collaboratively and ensure success for everyone involved.

​

Rejections and denials are not simply managed at Value-Based RCM, our team of experts will work to mitigate the cause of these reimbursement delaying activities, getting to the root cause which is done through workflow assessments and/or payer interactions.

​

Claim acceptance is a process completed every day. It is very important to confirm the number of claims submitted are accepted and the dreaded “no claim on file” is never a reason for reimbursement delays.  The Value-Based RCM team takes a very proactive approach and will do claim status checks every seven (7) days to confirm the current status of claim reimbursement and reduce correspondence.

Coding Compliance

Our clients recognize the precision in which we utilize current coding practices including CPT, ICD-10 and HCPCS are key to compliance.

​

Understanding the facility’s program delivery and services rendered is key to accurate coding and optimal revenue recognition.

​

Highly trained coding staff accompanied by coding software will ensure the most compliant claim submission and always reflect the medical record documentation prepared to support the billable services.

Contracting and Provider Enrollment

As the payer landscape is changing for SUD/BH providers and more are deciding to go “In-Network” with payers, our expert team specializing in “In-Network” contracting will guide you through this very tedious process. Completing the lengthy applications, negotiating provider status, representing your facility clinical programs and maximizing reimbursement rates established in your market with other in-network providers of the same specialty. Do not just settle for what the payer is offering, use this opportunity to highlight your facility as a program payers value and is willing to pay for.

​

Whether in-network or out-of-network, the process of provider enrollment is critical to claim submission and removing reimbursement delays. Managing facility providers licenses, CME requirements, payer registration and clearinghouse enrollment, using the most current credentialing and reporting tools available, is what the Payer Services team at Value-Based RCM will bring to the partnership.

Utilization Management

A vital component to the bottom line of any addiction treatment or behavioral health facility is the Utilization Management Department.  It is a key function to the facility’s success as it manages the authorization from insurance companies for reimbursable services and ensures a compliant revenue stream.

​

Our experienced UM team is trained to optimize the proper number of days in each level of care. Commonly wrong codes, incorrect codes, not understanding the diagnosis or simply human error can attribute to not receiving the correct amount of reimbursement. Our highly trained and licensed team understands the impact of accurate reporting of this information to payers.

​

Using a proven process of collaboration and data capture optimization, drives approval of longer stays at higher levels of care while confirming both initial and all subsequent authorizations. Our team factors into this process all aspects of your facility including your daily census, clinical protocols and programs. We assist you with ongoing implementation of required clinical documentation, outlining intensity of services and all related processes. This process encompasses a comprehensive clinically led review based on criteria established by published society specialties (i.e., SAMSHA) and payer guidelines and providing physician to physician reviews and appeals as required.

​

The Value-Based RCM UM team prides themselves on being an extension of the facility clinical team, supporting each patient with a UM approach as unique as they are.
