Imagine this: a patient comes in for care, their insurance seems valid, and everything looks good at check-in.   But weeks later, when you submit the claim, you find out their coverage had expired before the visit.   Now the balance is the patient’s responsibility—and you’re stuck chasing payments or writing off the bill as bad debt.  Sound familiar?  This scenario happens far too often in healthcare. In fact, many organizations lose a significant portion of revenue every year because of inaccurate or incomplete insurance verification.  As patient financial responsibility continues to rise with high-deductible health plans, this problem is only getting worse.  That’s where real-time eligibility (RTE) checks come in.  If you’re already familiar…

If you run or manage a Home Medical Equipment (HME) business, you’ve probably dealt with the frustration of denied claims.   Maybe it was something small—a missing modifier, a date mismatch, or an incomplete physician order. But the result was the same: delayed payments and more time wasted chasing reimbursements.  What makes this even more frustrating is that most denials are completely preventable.   Nearly 80% of denied healthcare claims could have been avoided with the right pre-billing checks in place.   That’s time, money, and energy your team could’ve saved.  In today’s HME environment, where compliance rules keep changing and margins are tight, prevention isn’t just smart—it’s essential.   Every denial not only impacts your cash flow but…

But behind the scenes, a complex journey has already unfolded. That journey is called the medical billing process, and it’s far more intricate than most patients realize. In this blog, we’ll break down what the medical billing process looks like for HME providers, why it’s essential to the healthcare revenue cycle, and most importantly,…

Value-based care is transforming healthcare by paying providers for patient outcomes instead of the number of services delivered. This shift from volume to value is creating better health results, lower costs, and improved patient experiences across the healthcare system.

Organizations implementing value-based models report improved patient outcomes, reduced costs through fewer unnecessary procedures, enhanced care coordination…
