Manual Errors and Inefficiency
Manual data entry in payment posting is a recipe for errors. Typos, inaccuracies, and mismatched payments can lead to wasted time correcting mistakes, delayed reimbursements, and reconciliation issues. This not only impacts cash flow but can also strain relationships with patients and payers.
High Volume, Complex Workflows
Healthcare organizations deal with a high volume of payments from various sources. This includes insurance reimbursements, patient co-pays, deductibles, adjustments, and denials, all coming from insurers, patients, and third-party entities. Managing such a complex workflow manually can be overwhelming and time-consuming, leading to backlogs and delayed payments.
Incomplete or Delayed Payer Information
Delays or missing information in remittance advices (RAs) or electronic remittance advices (ERAs) can significantly hinder accurate posting, reconciliation, and claim adjudication. Incomplete data requires manual intervention to research and resolve discrepancies, further adding to processing delays and increasing administrative costs.
Measurable Impact
Accurate Financial Tracking
Payment posting ensures accurate tracking of payments received from payers, patients, and third-party entities. It provides visibility into revenue streams, payment sources, and payment amounts, enabling healthcare organizations to monitor financial performance and reconcile accounts receivable accurately.
Timely Reimbursement Processing
Efficient payment posting processes expedite reimbursement processing, allowing healthcare organizations to receive payments promptly, reduce payment delays, improve cash flow, and optimize revenue cycle turnaround times.
Enhanced Revenue Integrity
Payment posting ensures revenue integrity by matching payments to corresponding claims, invoices, or patient accounts accurately. It helps identify underpayments, overpayments, payment discrepancies, and billing errors, enabling timely resolution and optimization of reimbursement.
Receiving Payments
The process starts with receiving payments from various sources, including insurance companies, government payers (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid), patients, and third-party entities. Payments can be received electronically through electronic funds transfer (EFT), credit card payments, electronic remittance advice (ERA), paper checks, or other payment methods.
Payment Verification and Validation
Once payments are received, payment posting involves verifying and validating payment details, such as payment amount, payer information, patient account details, payment date, and payment method. This step ensures that payments are accurate, complete, and match corresponding claims, invoices, or patient accounts.
Allocation and Application of Payments
After verification, payments are allocated and applied to the appropriate accounts, claims, or invoices based on predefined payment allocation rules and posting guidelines. This includes matching payments to remittance advice (RA) or electronic remittance advice (ERA) data received from payers, identifying payment sources (e.g., insurance payments, patient payments), and applying payments to outstanding balances.
