Question 1

What is Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)?

Accepted Answer

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the financial process that healthcare facilities use to track patient care episodes from registration and appointment scheduling through the final payment of a balance. RCM encompasses every step of the billing and payment cycle, including charge capture, claim submission, coding, payment posting, denial management, and collections. Effective RCM ensures that healthcare providers receive timely and accurate reimbursement for services rendered while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Question 2

How can outsourcing medical billing save my practice money?

Accepted Answer

Outsourcing medical billing eliminates the need to hire, train, and manage an in-house billing team, saving on salaries, benefits, office space, and billing software licenses. Professional billing companies like RevTechSquare achieve higher clean claims ratios and faster reimbursement cycles, directly increasing your revenue. Our clients typically see a 15-30% increase in collections within the first six months. Additionally, outsourcing reduces claim denials and write-offs, which directly improves your bottom line.

Question 3

Are your medical coders certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our medical coding team consists of Certified Professional Coders (CPC) credentialed through the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). Our billing team includes Certified Professional Billers (CPB). These certifications ensure that our team stays current with the latest coding guidelines, compliance regulations, and industry best practices. We invest in continuous education to keep our certifications active and our knowledge up to date.

Question 4

What is a clean claims ratio and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A clean claims ratio refers to the percentage of insurance claims that are accepted and processed on the first submission without any errors, rejections, or need for additional information. RevTechSquare maintains a 95% clean claims ratio, which is significantly above the industry average of 80-85%. A higher clean claims ratio means faster reimbursements, fewer denied claims, reduced administrative rework, and ultimately more revenue for your practice with less effort spent on claim corrections.

Question 5

How quickly can you reduce our accounts receivable days?

Accepted Answer

We typically reduce accounts receivable days to between 45-60 days within the first three months of engagement. Our aggressive AR follow-up process addresses claims at every aging bucket â€” from 30 days to 120+ days. We prioritize aged claims and implement systematic follow-up workflows to ensure no claim is forgotten. Many of our clients see measurable improvement within the first 30 days as we begin tackling their backlog of unpaid claims.

Question 6

What EHR/EMR systems do you work with?

Accepted Answer

RevTechSquare works with all major Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, including Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Allscripts, DrChrono, Practice Fusion, Kareo, AdvancedMD, and many others. Our team is trained across multiple platforms, and we can quickly adapt to your existing practice management system. If you use a system we have not previously worked with, our team undergoes training to ensure seamless integration.

Question 7

Is your service HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. HIPAA compliance is the cornerstone of our operations. We implement comprehensive administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect patient health information (PHI). All our staff undergo annual HIPAA training, we use encrypted communication channels, secure data storage, role-based access controls, and we maintain Business Associate Agreements (BAA) with all our clients. We conduct regular risk assessments and audits to ensure ongoing compliance with all HIPAA regulations.

Question 8

How do you handle claim denials?

Accepted Answer

Our denial management process is systematic and thorough. When a claim is denied, we first analyze the denial reason code to identify the root cause. We then correct the issue â€” whether it involves coding errors, missing documentation, eligibility problems, or authorization failures â€” and resubmit the claim within the payer's timely filing deadline. We also track denial patterns to identify recurring issues and implement preventive measures. Our approach has helped clients recover revenue from claims that were previously written off as uncollectible.

Question 9

What types of medical practices do you serve?

Accepted Answer

RevTechSquare serves a wide range of healthcare providers including primary care physicians, specialty practices (cardiology, orthopedics, dermatology, neurology, etc.), behavioral health providers, home care agencies, urgent care centers, ambulatory surgery centers, DME suppliers, and multi-specialty group practices. We work with both individual providers and large healthcare groups. Our team has experience across virtually every medical specialty and can customize our services to meet the unique billing requirements of your practice.

Question 10

Do you offer credentialing services for new providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer comprehensive credentialing services for both new and established providers. Our credentialing team handles the entire process, including initial applications with commercial and government payers, CAQH profile setup and maintenance, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, hospital privilege applications, and re-credentialing. We also negotiate fee schedules during the contracting phase to ensure you receive competitive reimbursement rates. The typical credentialing timeline is 60-120 days depending on the payer.

Question 11

What is the difference between medical billing and coding?

Accepted Answer

Medical coding and medical billing are two distinct but closely related processes. Medical coding involves translating clinical documentation â€” diagnoses, procedures, and services â€” into standardized alphanumeric codes (CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS). Medical billing takes those codes and uses them to create and submit insurance claims, follow up on payments, manage denials, and ensure the provider receives proper reimbursement. At RevTechSquare, our CPC-certified coders and CPB-certified billers work together seamlessly to optimize both processes for maximum revenue.

Question 12

How do you ensure the security of patient data?

Accepted Answer

We implement multiple layers of security to protect patient data. This includes 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest and in transit, secure VPN connections, multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, regular security audits and penetration testing, automated backup systems, and comprehensive employee background checks. Our infrastructure meets or exceeds HIPAA Security Rule requirements. We also maintain a detailed incident response plan and conduct regular disaster recovery drills to ensure data integrity.

Question 13

Can you help with old or aged unpaid claims?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Recovering revenue from aged claims is one of our specialties. We systematically review all outstanding claims over 60, 90, and 120+ days. Our team investigates each claim, identifies the reason for non-payment, corrects any issues, and resubmits or appeals as appropriate. We have successfully recovered significant revenue for clients from claims that were previously considered uncollectible. Many practices are surprised to find that a substantial portion of their aged AR is recoverable with the right follow-up approach.

Question 14

What reports will I receive about my practice's performance?

Accepted Answer

We provide comprehensive monthly reports that include key performance indicators (KPIs) such as clean claims ratio, average AR days, denial rates by category, collection rates, top denial reasons, payer mix analysis, charge lag reports, and aging summaries. Our reports are designed to give you complete visibility into your practice's financial health with actionable insights. We also provide custom reports upon request and are available for monthly review meetings to discuss performance trends and improvement strategies.
