Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the financial process, utilizing medical billing software, that healthcare facilities use to track patient care episodes from registration and appointment scheduling to the final payment of a balance.
RCM unifies the business and clinical sides of healthcare by coupling administrative data, such as a patient's name, insurance provider, and other personal information, with the treatment a patient receives and their healthcare data.
Communicating with health insurance companies is a key component of RCM...
Here is what's involved in the revenue cycle:
- Charge capture: Rendering medical services into billable charges.
- Claim submission: Submitting claims of billable fees to insurance companies.
- Coding: Properly coding diagnoses and procedures.
- Patient collections: Determining patient balances and collecting payments.
- Preregistration: Collecting preregistration information, such as insurance coverage, before a patient arrives for inpatient or outpatient procedures.
- Registration: Collecting subsequent patient information during registration to establish a medical record number and meet various regulatory, financial, and clinical requirements.
- Remittance processing: Applying or rejecting payments through remittance processing.
- Third-party follow-up: Collecting payments from third-party insurers.
- Utilization review: Examining the necessity of medical services.
