Complete Revenue Cycle Management for Your Vascular Surgery Practice

We provide end-to-end RCM support:

Insurance Verifications

Whether it’s vein surgery, nerve studies, stent surgery or any other vascular procedure, we will verify coverage well before the date of service. This allows you to calculate service costs, and inform patients about their financial responsibilities. Checking coverage upfront reduces the chances of surprise bills, improving patient satisfaction.

Coding

Our comprehensive insurance verification process helps identify the specific codes that are covered under the patient’s plan. This allows our expert coding team to assign the appropriate CPT and ICD-10 codes for all components of vascular surgery, such as diagnostic tests, surgical interventions, and post-operative care.

Authorizations

Insurance companies require prior authorization for many vascular procedures, with the patient’s benefit plan specifics varying by state. After identifying preauth requirements during eligibility verifications, our team initiates the process to secure timely approvals and prevent delays in care.

AR Follow Up

Our insurance verification process lays the foundation of a smooth AR follow-up process. We track the status of each claim, monitoring for any denials or delays in reimbursement. This proactive monitoring allows us to identify and address issues quickly, optimizing revenue cycle management.

How Our Vascular Surgery Insurance Verification Services are Priced

Full-time Equivalent Billing (FTE):

In FTE billing services are billed based on the equivalent cost of a full-time employee (FTE) for a specified duration, which is usually a fixed monthly or annual fee. This is ideal for high volume verifications. The services will be priced based on:

  • Volume of verifications
  • Desired turnaround time

Per Verification Billing:

Here, you pay a set fee for every individual insurance verification performed. You only pay for the services you actually utilize. Pricing will depend on:

  • Amount of information that needs to be verified (e.g., eligibility, benefits, prior authorization)
  • Complexity of the process

FTE/Per Verification Billing:

This is a hybrid or blended approach that combines features of both FTE and per-verification pricing. You enjoy the benefits of a fixed-cost FTE arrangement while also having the flexibility to pay per-verification when verification volumes fluctuate.

FTE/Per Verification Billing and AR is only FTE. We are also considering a blended model for AR.

Our Health Insurance Eligibility Verification Process

Insurance Eligibility Verification Process

Collecting patient information

Demographic data and insurance information are collected when patients schedule an appointment or arrive for a visit. We set up a dedicated file for each patient, creating an easily accessible centralized repository.

Performing verification

The patient’s coverage and benefits are checked by calling the insurance company or via their online portal. Details checked include: insurance policy status, exclusions or limitations, the benefits that are payable, co-insurance, co-pays, deductibles, pre-authorizations and referrals, insurance caps, type of Medicare coverage, DME coverage, and out-of-network benefits.

Documentation

The verified information is entered in the patient’s file, making it easily accessible to the billing department.

Communicating with the patient

Our staff educates patients on their benefits information and financial responsibilities such as coinsurance, co-pays and deductibles.

Initiating prior authorization

If the patient requires a vascular surgery service that has preauthorization requirements, we submit the documentation for approval to the insurance company in a timely manner.

Updating the billing system

We update your practice’s billing system with the insurance information.
