Do you understand what your insurer says ?

Being a part of a busy medical practice means there is no time to sit and analyse. Most medical practitioners hardly have enough time to communicate with insurers.Do you know that physicians are leaving most of their money on the table ? The major reason is not comprehending or following closely what the payer says.

An, ERA consists details, of the final claim adjudication and payment information. Being able to read between the lines is one skill that physicians need to develop to ensure they don’t get underpaid.

There are a lot many times when a physician just doesn’t know why his claim didn’t translate into a check. Blame it on inconsistent and varied payer policies. Or complicated, state specific, medical billing regulations. But the fact remains that an enormous amount of claims are underpaid or unpaid and most physicians don’t even know what went wrong.

Do you deal with workers compensation and auto injury claims ?

Agreed it can be tough. Trying to deal with workers compensation laws can be cumbersome. The last thing you need is receiving an ERA that you cannot make sense of. The AMA has come to the rescue of physicians.

AMA has launched a new tool to help physicians make sense of ERAs better. The AMA Claims Assistant Workflow tool can aid physicians in puzzling out payment adjustments. It can help medical care providers easily locate reason and remark codes. Tackling non-payments and denied claims is going to be a whole lot easy at the medical practice, from now on.

No longer left in the dark…

What happens inside the insurer’s office has always been a mystery for medical billers. Why it is certain claims get paid and some don’t ? Why was a claim that was perfectly acceptable last summer now been given the thumbs down? Luckily physicians who deal with workers compensation billing will have an answer to these questions and more.

The Claims Assistant Workflow tool will give providers information about how a claim was processed. And what the codes on the ERA mean.

A smart way to e bill !

The tool developed by AMA also guides physicians on receiving accurate payment. And also offers several template appeal letters to help physicians appeal denied claims. It is definitely a welcome relief for over-burdened physicians and billing companies.
