Billing process is the interaction between the participants (i.e., insurance company (payer), healthcare service provider (provider or doctor), patient, and billing service provider (biller)) designed to pay or deny a payment request (claim) submitted by the biller to the payer and to the patient on behalf of the provider. The amount and complexity of billing information make it very difficult for the doctor to maintain compliance and identify and resolve errors and underpayments.

Billing service transparency allows participants of the billing process to expedite error identification and resolution, resulting in reduced over- and under-payments and improved regulatory compliance.

Attributes of Billing Transparency

Billing transparency has four key attributes, including universality, continuity, ubiquity, and scalability.

• Universality: every participant in the billing process, including patient, provider, payer, and biller, has access to every aspect of the billing process.
• Continuity: process detail is available continuously on a 24 x 7 basis.
• Ubiquity: access to billing process is provided over secure standard Internet browser that requires no special hardware or software and is available everywhere.
• Scalability: both the big picture and minute detail are available for scrutiny universally and continuously. The big picture consists of total cash flow in a given time period, current submitted and failed claims, and billing quality metric. It must contain comprehensive summary of patient visits and unpaid bala
  Double Duty Space
  Organizations have to be especially savvy in making wise financial decisions. Budgets are typically contracting rather than expanding, and donor dollars are harder to come by these days. Special events can be especially tricky as you need to deliver high impact on a very limited budget. Anything that offers multi-purpose utility is far preferable than single-use materials and equipment.Actually, multi-purpose has become a way o

      The New Consumption Patterns
      Contemporary economic models present the typical consumer as deliberative and highly forward-looking, not subject to impulsive behavior. Shopping for a product or a service is seen as an information-gathering exercise in which the buyers look for the best possible deal for products and/or services they have decided to purchase. Consumption choices represent optimizing within an environment of deliberation, control, and long-term planning

        Using the Power of Client Testimonials to Grow Your Business
        Client testimonials are one of the most powerful marketing tools coaches can use. Did you know that they can help you attract new clients, increase customer confidence and generate a positive “buzz” about you and your services?

      • Scalability: both the big picture and minute detail are available for scrutiny universally and continuously. The big picture consists of total cash flow in a given time period, current submitted and failed claims, and billing quality metric. It must contain comprehensive summary of patient visits and unpaid balances. The minute detail pertains to individual claims making up the big picture, including complete history from the moment of creating the claim, testing its validity and eligibility, making corrections, performing submissions, reconciling payer messages and explanations of benefits (EOB) with original claims, until payment. Both perspectives must allow arbitrary aggregation of claims and drill in for detail to enable effective followup.

      [ ] Review personally and continuously billing quality, technology capabilities, adequacy of procedures, discipline, and training.

      Note that Vericle-like technologies based on Straight Through Billing (STB) methodology implement billing transparency by design because billing transparency is an integral attribute of every component of STB process.
