Insurance Billing (Advanced Training Session)

When you receive a rejection, or you have a claim or billing problem, how do you correct the encounter information and then resubmit the corrected claim? Read this article to learn how to update and resubmit a claim.

Use the Billing Configuration tool to configure billing behaviors of procedures and diagnoses and the Billing screen in PCC EHR. Follow the procedures below to open the Billing Configuration tool and make changes.

The Smart Report Suite (srs) is a report library in PCC's previous Practice Management system.

You can use PCC's tools to work on claims with errors, rejections, and denials. But what if a problem is fixed, but the claim wasn't resubmitted? Or what if an insurance payor simply never responds? Are some insurance payers regularly failing to pay you in a timely fashion? You may need specialized tools to track and work down your practice’s insurance A/R.

Use the Claims tool to process and submit claims to insurance companies and other payers, work on claims that could not be submitted, and review a log of submissions.

PCC's insurance billing tools help you process and prepare claims, send them electronically or print them, review rejections and denials, fix problems and resubmit, and work down your insurance accounts receivable. You can maximize the use of your time as you pursue proper insurance reimbursement.

While most claims are transmitted to payors electronically, sometimes you may need to generate a paper 1500 HCFA form.

How is a claim created, and what happens in the background to make sure your practice is paid? Read below to learn some of the "under the hood" workings of claims after you post charges into PCC EHR.

When your practice needs to prevent certain claims from being submitted, you can create a claim hold. A claim hold prevents claims from going out for specific dates of service, billing providers, places of service, and insurance plans. You can also configure your practice’s claim delay, which prevents any claim from going out until a certain number of days after the date of service.

After you prepare and submit claims, you must deal with claims that could not be submitted or were rejected.

What kinds of pre-submission processing does your PCC system do on claims? What errors can it find, and how do you fix them?
