Practice Analysis

 

Most practices can benefit from a comprehensive outside review of exactly how doctors and staff handle Medicare-related work.

In a practice analysis, Kate will review your Medicare procedures (written and unwritten), evaluate the paper and electronic forms you use, analyze training needs, 
and recommend procedural changes 
in a written report based on her findings. 
 

 

By using telephone interviews with you and your staff as well as by mailing, faxing, and
e-mailing printed information, you can complete a practice analysis without Kate's visiting your office.
  If you prefer, however, you can discuss with Kate an in-office practice analysis. 

 

Key Benefits

  1. A thorough study of your Medicare office procedures can discover any omissions or inaccuracies in identifying Medicare patients, obtaining necessary patient information, documenting services, preparing and filing claims, and posting payments and write-offs.

  2. This fine-tuning should reduce the number of your denied or underpaid Medicare claims and decrease your accounts receivable.

  3. Your staff can become more productive through procedural streamlining.

  4. Most importantly, a practice analysis can help you learn how to be less at risk for Medicare audits or refunds.


Capabilities

  1. Kate's extensive background in Medicare issues enables her to transform confusing Medicare regulations into understandable and usable instructions for your practice.

  2. She has analyzed procedural needs and written and updated office procedure manuals for more than twenty years, including writing and editing Medicare bulletins when she worked for the Medicare carrier.

  3. Kate can help you and your staff understand the entire Medicare process involving you, your Medicare patients, and the Medicare carrier.
