As of November 1, 2011, an updated ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage) is required to be implemented in replacement of the current ABN Form used. Only minor edits have been made to the new ABN for purposes of clarity.

Increasing Efficiency in the Billing Department -->Electronic Claims Submission DONE RIGHT!

2010-05-12T10:28:00.002-06:00

There are so many tasks to be organized and addressed in a billing department, such as claims submission, insurance verifications, claims appeals, reviewing of Accounts Receivable and claims re-submissions, patient account statements and collections, etc. Some of these duties can be extremely time consuming which is why it is so important to insure that every step and every system in the billing department is as efficient and effective as possible. By evaluating this, you are sure to prevent or reduce lost time in carry out of systems, streamline the systems within the department and gain confidence that these procedures are being executed smoothly and correctly.

One element to evaluate in your billing department is electronic claims submissions. Getting paid by insurance carriers and getting paid faster is a crucial component to efficiency and productivity in a billing department.

Are you getting rejected claims? Are you finding that many of your claims still aren't being received by insurance payers? Do you have a good relationship with your insurance clearinghouse where your questions are answered and assistance is quickly provided, if needed?

If any of the above questions are obstacles that you face, you would be well served to reconsider your current clearinghouse. Or, maybe you are ready to transition from paper to electronic claims submission and are unclear about the steps you need to take. Either way, you may find comfort and confidence with APEX EDI. The following will outline only a few features that is offered by Apex EDI that will certainly help to insure efficiency in the claims submission process!
Benefits and features of Apex EDI:
1. No annual maintenance fees
2. Money back guarantee
3. Online Corrections resulting in:
a. No double submission on a single claim
b. No double charges for a single claim (because of double subission)
4. Flat Rate with Unlimited Claims submissions
5. Compatible with ALL Practice Management Software (even those that offer clearing house services)
6. Verification of claims delivery
7. FREE client support
8. Connects to all insurance companies, nation and state wide.
a. Claims are no longer being dropped to paper and printed for submission
b. Reduces paper claims expense
Apex EDI will do a risk free, FREE claims service evaluation upon your request! Please call them at 800-840-9152. Additionally, by mentioning referral source, Total Practice Resources or promotion code 104, you will receive 2 months of FREE service, if you sign up with them! You can also preview Apex EDI online.

This is a very helpful step in streamlining your billing department. Upcoming issues of the TPR Spotlight will continue to cover other important steps that can be taken to make your office as efficient and profitable as possible!

New Service Offered by TPR

2010-04-05T12:50:00.004-06:00

We are so excited to share with you the new service offered by Total Practice Resources! This new service is called the ChiroNetwork.info and is online and available to you 24/7! I have been working tirelessly on this because I have just been certain that there is still a missing link for many practices when it comes to having the time and resources to get answers for specific practice development needs.
These needs of course can be implementation, coding, systems, staff training.....and the list goes on and on.

I truly believe that the ChiroNetwork.info will help to build a bridge in this area for practices. The ChiroNetwork is like having a CA at your service, at your convenience. Lots of important topics are covered in great detail.

I use this service myself, literally, on a daily basis because it is so full of information and so easy to access everything from one single resource. Updates are posted weekly and there is so much to keep up with, this is a great way to have the information you need at your fingertips in an instant!

If you haven't yet had the opportunity, please be sure to visit the ChiroNetwork!
