If you’re looking for new ways to boost your lab's revenue
in the coming months, you won’t want to miss the August
26th DARK REPORT audio conference. Learn proven steps that will
help you generate additional cash by making simple changes to
your laboratory’s existing coding, billing, and collection
processes.
One of the nation’s most effective billing companies is
ready to share its process for excellence in laboratory coding,
billing, and collections. Kevin Ellison, President and CEO of
Kellison & Company, calls it the “need information process,”
which focuses exclusively on submitting a clean claim the first
time, every time. While most healthcare providers, including laboratories,
typically submit “clean” first-time claims only 50%
to 70% of the time, Kellison and its clients post an impressive
collective average ratio of clean claims on first submission approaching
88%! Find out what they do differently and how you can master
these techniques to achieve this same high rate of clean claim
submission, earning valuable extra revenue for your laboratory.
You’ll get information on Kellison’s unique “three-dimension
strategy,” which is the cornerstone of its claims process:
The first dimension helps you build better relationships
with referring physician clients, because their offices originate
the test requisitions which are too-often the source of inaccurate
or missing information that trigger rejections.
The second dimension is your lab’s internal coding/billing/collection
team. There are lots of overlooked and highly effective techniques
to improve your internal work processes—leading to increased
collections and more dollars on the pay line. Find out why your
lab’s lack of detailed, up-to-date information on payer
contracts and price schedules is costing you big bucks, plus how
to change that and boost collected revenue literally overnight!
The third dimension focuses on your managed care plans.
Every laboratory knows payers often make it tough to collect money
that is rightfully due the providers. This audio conference will
show you how to turn the tables on payers using existing contract
terms and accurate price lists to see immediate increases in your
collected revenues.
Get more information on this three-dimension strategy and how
to put it to work to increase collections for your lab when you
attend THE DARK REPORT and DARK DAILY audio conference, “Increase
Your Lab Revenue With Better Billing & Coding: How To Collect
More Money While Slashing Collection Costs.”
