Simplifying Complex Billing Scenarios to Maximize DME Reimbursement
More patients are being diagnosed with chronic diseases than ever before. Fortunately, innovative DME, medical devices, and remote monitoring services enable patients with chronic illnesses to lead longer, more rewarding lives.
However, providers of these devices and services face unique challenges in billing and reimbursement. Standard billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) systems often fall short, leading to missed reimbursements, high denial rates, and increased administrative burdens. Traditional billing systems also lack the financial visibility, analytics, and reporting needed to maximize performance and results.
Watch our on-demand webinar where we explore the essential capabilities providers need to overcome these challenges effectively. Learn how solutions tailored to the complexities of DME, medical device, and remote monitoring billing can optimize reimbursement by automating prior authorizations, facilitating real-time data exchange, and integrating seamlessly with prescribing physicians’ ordering systems.
Learning Objectives:
- The limitations of traditional systems in handling complex billing scenarios
- The importance of automation and AI in reducing administrative burden and maximizing reimbursement success
- Why an enhanced physician and patient engagement strategy leveraging advanced portals and real-time data access is essential to maximizing reimbursement
- The importance of real-time connectivity to digital ecosystems such as Intake CRMs and user apps, along with direct payor connectivity to automate many order-to-cash functions
- Real-world examples of how DME, medical device, and patient monitoring service providers reduce denials, appeals, and unbillable charges
