Medical Billing Services must pursue underpayments

Posted by Carl Mays II at 6th July, 2009


Any strong medical billing process and medical billing company must compare insurance payments to your contractual allowables and aggressively pursue underpayments. If this is not happening then most likely 5 to 10% of your practice’s revenue is being lost.

If you make the decision to outsource medical billing or are currently outsourcing, then there are a number of critical tasks and process steps that your medical billing service should provide. These include scrubbing claims before they are submitted, systematic follow-up on submitted claims, posting denials, pursuing underpayments, using patient expected payment scores just to name a few.

This article focuses on just one of the key elements you need from your medical billing service: pursuit of underpayments. Pursuit of underpayments starts with a critical step: comparison of EOBs to your contractual allowables (the payment your payers have agreed to make for each CPT code). You cannot count on payment posters to catch underpayments with their naked eye; the comparison must be automated and systematic. It goes without saying that if you do billing in-house the comparison still should be done.

The need for automated comparison to allowables is not because of any short coming with the average payment poster, but because payers employ sophisticated techniques to make underpayments difficult to identify. Medical billing companies with well designed processes can counteract these techniques because they have much more scope than a single medical practice. By scope I mean that they see what payers do across multiple providers in multiple states. This broader view of the world allows a billing company that is leveraging its scope to uncover payer behaviors more easily than a single medical practice.

A disturbing pattern that can regularly be seen by a medical billing company that is paying attention is one where a payer will select a set of procedures and underpay this set of procedures across a large number of providers (often by the same amount). This will continue for about 30 days and then the payer will resume paying the procedures at the correct amount and begin underpaying a whole new selection of procedures.

These underpayments are not huge (5 to 10 percent) but they add up quickly to big dollars for a medical practice. The combination of switching the codes being underpaid from month-to-month and keeping the underpayment amount “under the radar” can make the underpayments difficult for an individual practice to spot.

As you can imagine, these small underpayments switching from CPT to CPT would be difficult for a busy payment poster to notice. They will often spot the large underpayments (which occur with a much lower frequency than the small underpayments), but without automated comparisons the smaller underpayments are typically missed.

This single action (comparison of payments to allowables) can increase a medical practice’s collections by 5 to 10 percent. This is why you need to insure this critical step is being completed by your medical billing service.

Identifying the underpayments is the first step of the journey. Dogged pursuit of the underpaid amounts is what actually drives up your practice’s revenue. This pursuit needs to go down to even small underpayments because once a payer sees that the small underpayments are being pursued they typically taper off and contractual payments resume at the appropriate level. Much like a small child, the insurance companies are trying to see what the can get away with.

IRS Levy - What Is It?

Posted by Anne Durrell at 6th July, 2009


IRS Levy is not the same as the federal tax lien, which is the IRS’s permission to seize the property. IRS Levy is the act of seizure or property, assets or income.

The federal government is empowered to enforce the IRS Levy if you have been too slow in trying to work with the IRS to reach an agreement. This means they can begin to garnish your wages without your consent in an attempt to recoup the money you owe them.

IRS Levy usually comes into effect when a person does not take into account the office’s requests for payment of taxes you owe. It can also be applied if you call the IRS and try to make payment arrangements on a large tax debt that is simply too small to pay the amount you owe.

If this occurs and they begin to garnish more money from your income than you expect, this could seriously leave you with not enough money to support yourself or your family. You could lose control of all your income, your assets or your property.

IRS Levy could also mean the seizure of income you receive from Social Security or disability payments or even refunded taxes.

Another reason the IRS Levy can come into effect is if you’ve already made a payment arrangement to try and repay your tax debt and then you miss those payments or don’t stick to the payment plan you agreed to.

In addition to seizing the wages and other income, the IRS Levy may also seize bank accounts or the sale of your property.

Perhaps the easiest way to avoid an IRS Levy is to contact the government department to which you owe money and work through a reasonable payment plan that you can stick to comfortably while still paying off the debt. Once you’ve entered into this arrangement, be sure you keep up with your payments on time, every time.

If you are uncertain to face the prospect of an IRS Levy on your own, then consider hiring a tax lawyer to act as an intermediary. You may find a professional who has a deeper understanding of some of the most complex tax issues and may be able to refer you to the things you may not have considered.

These issues could include tax forms that you may be entitled to legal aid or even to negotiate for an offer of compromise with the IRS.

Forex Megadroid Review

Posted by Frank Rivera at 6th July, 2009


With the recent success of FAPTurbo, many scalping robots have come along as cheap knockoffs of the original. Most of them are not profitable and they prove to be ripoffs. Forex Megadroid recently came out and many people figured that this was just another one of those. Someone else claiming to be able to scalp money out of the forex market with a robot. However, when the dust finally settled, people found that Forex Megadroid was pretty good as well.

What does Forex Megadroid do and what can you expect out of it? Forex Megadroid is an expert advisor that can be used with any MetaTrader 4 forex account. This gives you a lot of options for a broker, although you’ll want one that has low spreads on the EUR/USD. The robot is a pre-Asian session trader like many other robots.

This robot trades in the pre-Asian trading session and you’ll find that it offers one extra currency pair than FAPTurbo can offer. The EUR/USD can display reasonable spreads throughout the pre-Asian session so you’ll find that there are frequent opportunities for trades.

This robot is a little more accurate than FAPTurbo or any other robot for that matter. It picks entry points that are a little more accurate than others. It also has a little bit different trading strategy than other EA’s out there. It doesn’t trade as often as FAPTurbo, but it usually gets bigger profits per trade. For example, you might be getting several $5 and $6 winners out of FAPTurbo, but you can expect some $25 and $30 or more winners out of Megadroid. It just won’t trade as often. You will get two trades at the most per day and sometimes one or none.

This means instead of seeing several small profits of $5 or $6 throughout the trading day like you would with FAPTurbo, you should instead see one or two larger winners of $25 or $30 with Forex Megadroid.

One of the minor differences with the Forex Megadroid is that it doesn’t offer the same level of customization that the FAPTurbo can offer, however this can make it much easier to use for novice traders. The robot makes your trading strategy very simple. You just input the amount you’re willing to risk with each trade and the robot will factor in your risk tolerance levels with each trade placed, including stop-loss trades.

If you’ve never traded on the forex market before, then this robot is ideal. The easy to follow guide can show you how to get your account up and running with your robot so you could be making profits within minutes.

Overall, this is a very effective robot that can get the job done. It’s similar to FAPTurbo except it’s more accurate and uses a different currency pair. You won’t get that many trades, but you can feel more comfortable about the ones that you do get. Check out Forex Megadroid if you’ve been looking for a consistent way to grow your account.
