Medical Billing Service!
The
biggest challenge we have had in the past is how to use
today's technology successfully. At MediClaim of Florida, Inc.,
we spend a lot of time and effort to position our staff
and company to take maximum advantage of the technology
available today and to improve our services. Such is the
advantage of using DSL technology, to access via the
Internet, our clients' database and integrate data
transmission. Part of our future plans
are already here, and these include
using existing tools in different ways,
such as further automating the process
of submitting electronic data to the
practice and vice versa. As data entry
becomes a systematic approach to the
systems available today, we continue to
train our staff to help them make better
decisions so they can provide better
support. We are here to assist your
staff in the process!

When your practice chooses MediClaim of Florida, Inc. as your billing
service company, we suggest to first evaluate your practice
current claim system using our practice management assessment
format. Your Superbill, insurance and patient forms, dunning
letters used, available software system, computer hardware,
peripherals (printers, etc.), and communications system are
all authenticated for harmony. Subsequently, we gather all
the necessary information to incorporate your practice under
MCF's service umbrella. We even take a look at your carriers
to
recognize your HMO and PPO population, verify your bill
above, make suggestions, etc. Once we process that data, we
recommend specific services based on that assessment.
We highly
recommend electronic claims submission it for fast cash flow
recovery. Did you know that MediSoft allows you to file claims
directly to the government carriers? We
submit Medicare, Medicaid, Medipass
directly to them using direct modules; no clearinghouse
involved. For
other carriers we still have the option
to enroll you with a clearinghouse. For
more information regarding free
submission of claims to other
clearinghouses, please contact us.
For a
percentage fee umbrella, our full
billing service comprise the following
services:
- Superbill design
- Assistance in redesign of current
office forms
- Billing of all claims to include electronic format
- Administer payment agreements
- Daily to month-end reporting on all

Internet access
Under our billing
service umbrella, we offer remote access
over your DSL connection. Appointment
scheduling, printing of your Superbill,
reports, patient database, are just some
of the features available with our
service. Our data is your data and
access to it is available continuously.
Billing is not a
matter of years of experience only.
Precisely, it is a matter of constant
training and education of personnel to
keep up with the industry standards and
new regulations. Since 1997 we do that; we keep the
task. Along with the best solutions in
the market for billing purposes, we
offer accurate claim submission to lower
claim rejection rate.
This will help you regain some of that
lost cash flow floating around in your
office in terms of denied claims and
pending follow ups.

Under a full practice management service, we engage in
setting your practice to actual industry standards to include
HIPAA compliance.
Looking at your Superbill: it should be
designed to pick up the diagnosis and procedure information
necessary to assure
payment from the carrier. Updating your current office forms,
i.e., Patient Information, should be designed to capture all the
necessary information from your patients and responsible
parties. Final Draft may play and
important role in printing information without the need of
double entries into the system. Is not only critical to know where to send a claim,
but to have the assurance that your service will be paid
accordingly. Having the accuracy of this information the first
time, avoids costly billing services and payment within the
expected time-frame.
We use electronic submission of claims to include Medicare,
Medicaid, and the mayor carriers. Paper formats are used when
carriers are not electronically linked to a clearing house.
Even clearinghouses use paper claims.
Once payments are received in your office,
you will forward the information to us. We will in turn, post all
carrier payments, copay, cash visits, settlements, etc. Your reports
will reflect all financial activity in any specified period of
time.
Under our umbrella, all other services fall in to include,
Phone Tech Support and MediSoft updates. Upgrades are
installed with no installation charge (within the same
version). Superbill procedures and diagnoses codes updates are
included and reviewed every year. Redesign may be necessary;
service is not included.
As services can mislead to a few
pre-determined listed here, for a complete list, please
contact MediClaim of Florida, Inc.
Payment Plan for Patients
We leave it up to your practice to extend a patient's balance
over a period of time. On a payment plan, your practice can
assess finance charges. MediClaim will administer the finance
process, calculate percentages, apply those charges, and finally
collect them.
A
source out of a collection agency
reflects that the longer it takes for an
office to collect from a patient, the
less probability exits to collect from
those patients. We do not offer payment
plan to patients, it is up to the
practice to extend any amount due over
an extension of time, to include
allowable service fees and other
interest charges allow per law.
