Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the financial process that medical practices use to track patient care episodes from scheduling to final balance payment.

This is all done with the aid of medical billing software. This software is an all-in-one system that tracks patient payments, aids in collecting payments, works with insurance companies and takes care of claims processing. Our healthcare software solutions work to get you the same return you would receive from a point of service transaction.

What is the Revenue Cycle?

Before we get into the logistics behind our healthcare software solutions, let’s go over what the revenue cycle entails. This will help you get a better understanding of how our technology can automate tedious, time-consuming RCM medical billing processes.

Charge capture

In this step, medical services are translated into billable charges.

Claim submission

Claims with billable fees are sent to insurance companies.

Coding

Diagnoses and procedures are assigned the appropriate code.

Patient collections

Patient balance is calculated based on outstanding balances after insurance is applied. Payments are then collected.

Preregistration

Preregistration information is gathered from the patient prior to their arrival at your practice. This info includes insurance coverage.

Registration

Subsequent patient info is collected during registration to create a medical record number. This step also ensures the patient meets regulatory, financial and clinical requirements.

Remittance processing

In this stage, payments are either applied or rejected.

With each cycle, your chances for error increase. These errors inconvenience your patients and prevent you from bringing in revenue for your practice. The extensive expertise and labor needed to carry out the process efficiently make software automation worth the cost. Revenue cycle management is the best way to ensure you get paid on time.

This is made possible by our health system’s ability to decipher ICD-10 codes accurately and quickly. Pulse handles all the follow-up on any claims that are denied or need to be reworked.

Physicians are turning to technology to help them overcome commercial payers that scrutinize claims now more than ever before. That’s where Pulse Revenue Cycle Management comes in.

across the industry for small practices

Complex payment processes simplified

The flow of payments between interested parties consists of a vast network of payers and payees. Even more complex is the relationship between the various parties involved. This complexity requires constant maintenance and management to ensure you receive payments in a timely manner to maximize payments received. Failure to recognize these complex rules often results in inaccurate claims denials. Finally, failure to comply with payer rules can result in legal liability for those responsible for billing and collection. Historically, compliance with payer rules was dependent on either the ability of the billing and collection specialist or the technology available to them.
