Charge Entry Services
Accurate charge entry is crucial for ensuring the smooth flow of your revenue cycle management (RCM) process. At Advantawise, we understand the impact that incorrect or delayed charge entry can have on your practice’s cash flow and overall revenue. That's why we offer precise, efficient, and timely charge entry services that help healthcare providers minimize billing errors, reduce claim denials, and maximize reimbursements.
The Challenge :
For many healthcare providers, charge entry is a time-consuming and error-prone process. When charges are not entered accurately or promptly, several issues can arise
- Undercharging or Overcharging: Incorrect charge entry can lead to financial losses, whether you’re underbilling for services rendered or overbilling patients.
- Delayed Reimbursement: Any delay in entering charges can result in delayed claims submissions, which in turn means delayed payments, affecting your practice’s cash flow.
- Increased Denials and Rejections: Incorrectly entered charges are a primary reason for claims being denied or rejected. This results in additional administrative effort to correct and resubmit claims.
- Compliance Risks: Inaccurate coding or failure to follow payer-specific guidelines during charge entry can lead to compliance issues and even audits.
