Streamline Your Practice With the NextGen Copay Audit Report

The collection of copays is a double-edged sword for most medical practices. On the one hand, it's often a brutally inefficient process that takes valuable time away from the elements - patient care, scheduling, and the like - that help to keep your practice running smoothly. On the other, collecting the right amount for copays is integral when it comes to maintaining the financial health of the practice since the likelihood of being reimbursed for the visit is greatly diminished once a patient leaves the office. It is a delicate balance that must be maintained for a practice to run smoothly, which is why we created our NextGen EPM Copay Audit Report. In fact, the copay process has only become more and more difficult in recent years with the rise of patient financial responsibility and high-deductible plans. The byzantine, ever-changing rules and regulations of the modern American health care industry make it a system bogged down with red tape and roadblocks. Along with those problems? The differing patient responsibility methodologies insurance companies have - all customized to their specific requirements. Just that factor in itself makes for the entire copay & patient responsibility process a gigantic headache. Adding to that problem is the human factor - in several different ways. First, there's the problem of front desk staff errors when it comes to the copay collection process. They may misinterpret a rule or regulation, undercharge or overcharge a patient, or forget to charge them at all. You end up with credit balances on some encounters that need to be refunded and patient collections on others that should have happened at the visit. That costs your practice headaches when it comes to reconciliation and even more headaches when it comes to the bottom line. That human factor also plays in interactions with patients. Let's face it - it's tough to ask for money for some people, especially when patients may also be confused by the process. Copays may not get collected when they need to be, through negligence, ignorance, or just plain embarrassment. Lack of effective collection processes may be understandable - but it's also definitely harmful to the bottom line. So, how can busy patients achieve the best possible copay collection practices to help keep the practice running smoothly? Luckily, TempDev is here to help.
