Healthcare billing can be complex, often involving fragmented processes and manual effort. Managing multiple plans, fees, and coverage details using multiple data points and error-prone methods creates challenges for organizations and members.
However, integrated premium billing software can offer a solution. A health plan can have a system that seamlessly connects enrollment, benefits, and carrier data, automating tasks and eliminating errors. This integrated approach promises a more efficient and cost-effective healthcare billing process.
In this blog post, we explore the benefits of integrated member billing solutions and why Mirra Health Care's TPA Premium Billing software is an option for you to consider. Let's get started.
The Challenges Associated with Traditional Premium Billing
The system is currently plagued with endless spreadsheets and frantic data chasing. Traditional premium billing in healthcare often resembles that chaotic past, burdened by:
CMS Imposed Retroactivity
Traditional premium billing systems often struggle with CMS-mandated retroactivity adjustments. These adjustments are implemented after the initial bill is issued and are usually triggered by various factors like changes in enrollee demographics or utilization data. For traditional systems, retroactivity requires manually revisiting and recalculating many bills. It not only leads to delays but also increases the risk of errors.
Multiple Plans & Fees
Juggling diverse plans and fees can be time consuming and complex. Keeping track of nuances and ensuring accurate application adds to the challenge.
Manual Issues
Error-prone manual workarounds, from data entry to calculations, are the norm. Errors are pervasive, contributing to billing disputes and the subsequent time spent rectifying them.
The Adverse Consequences
These challenges aren't just frustrating; they are expensive. Time lost to manual tasks, inaccurate billing leading to rework, and compliance challenges translate to higher costs for your organization.
Quantifying the Impact
A study by the American Productivity and Quality Center (APQC) found that:
- Organizations utilizing paper-based processes experience a higher average error rate than those relying on electronic processes.
