Understanding Revenue Cycle Management
Revenue Cycle Management Overview
Revenue Cycle Management encompasses all administrative and clinical functions that contribute to the capture, management, and collection of patient service revenue. This process begins with patient scheduling and registration and continues through to the final payment of the balance.
Key Components of RCM
- Patient Registration: Accurate patient information is crucial for billing and reimbursement.
- Insurance Verification: Ensuring coverage eligibility to avoid denied claims.
- Medical Coding: Assigning standardized codes (e.g., ICD-10, CPT) to diagnoses, procedures, and services for accurate billing and documentation.
- Charge Capture: Recording services provided to generate claims.
- Claim Submission: Sending claims to insurance companies for reimbursement.
- Payment Posting: Applying payments to patient accounts.
- Denial Management: Addressing and correcting denied claims to ensure payment.
- Patient Collections: Collecting balances from patients after insurance has paid its portion.
