How you can make more money with Medi-Claims, LLC

There is a special section at the bottom of this page for healthcare providers with a new practice or that definitely want more patients.

This presentation is divided into sections to cover the various ways you may be currently handling your insurance claims processing--Mailing paper claims, in house processing of electronic claim submissions, using another service to outsource your claim submissions. Please review the sections that best describe your situation or what you would like to do.

Currently Mailing Paper Claims
First, you need to know that you NEVER give up control over your claims by using Medi-Claims to submit them electronically for you. We work for you and are set up to save you significant time and money with our claims specialists, the efficiencies of our proprietary software and our nationwide network of clearing houses and insurance carriers.
Second, our electronic claims processing, auditing and submission through our network partners is definitely cheaper and faster than you submitting paper claims. To ask for our FREE full evaluation of your specific practice and expected savings, click on the link on this website or call our office at your convenience.

• Paper claims processing actual total costs are usually $6 to $10 per claim and triple that for any rejected claims. Medi-Claims charges a flat fee regardless of the claim value that is a savings of about 60% to 70% depending on your situation. We eliminate most of your normal charges for your staff (hourly pay and taxes, vacations, medical coverage, etc.) claims training, reprocessing rejections, envelopes, stamps, loss time, overtime, phone calls, etc.
• We eliminate or significantly reduce hidden or intrinsic costs such as the revenue loss for the healthcare professional's personal time taken away from seeing patients. This includes time spent on adding new insurance carriers, training personnel on submissions, answering claim questions, tracking delayed or rejected payments, learning software, getting back on track after each interruption, etc.
• Significant Cash Flow Impact. We reduce payment collection times from 30 to 90 days or more to 10 to 14 business days, reduce rejections from 20% or more to under 3%, and clean up any old claims in dispute.
• The net result is that you spend less, get paid more, paid faster and have a lot less hassles and stress. Ask for our FREE full evaluation of your practice to review all the benefits and savings we can provide.

Currently having your staff electronically process and submit claims
We find that the most common immediate concern on switching to outsourcing claims processing requires us to remind you that you NEVER give up control over your claims by using Medi-Claims to submit them electronically for you. We work for you and are set up to save you significant time and money with our claims specialists, the efficiencies of our proprietary software and our nationwide network of clearing houses and insurance carriers.

Please Note. All electronic claims processing is NOT the same. For starters, most do not have the clearing house and insurance carrier partnerships we have so your claims are submitted directly to the carriers' computers for processing payments. Many software programs simply omit the mailman, but do not convert your claims to the standardized formats required by Medicaid/Medicare and many other insurance carriers to avoid most of the same delays and rejections experience with filing paper claims. Some do not audit your claims for errors and only submit the correct ones, track claim status, etc.

Medi-Claims can usually save you money and headaches even if you purchased a highly professional system or software program. If you have not purchased an in-house system yet, we urge you to evaluate our services and take our Risk Free trial before you purchase anything.

• Your cash flow is dependent on how quickly you are paid. If our price is right, providers should discontinue the practice of essentially giving away their checkbooks to strangers they hire for their office to handle their billing and collections. Medi-Claims is licensed by the state and EDI Healthclaims Network.
• Even if you have a highly trained person, you risk turnover and disrupting your whole office, face ever increasing salaries, overtime costs, time problems as the number of claims increase, extra costs for adding new carriers, rising benefit costs, annual renewal fees, software updates, and retraining time, etc.
• Medi-Claims efficiencies usually result in lower costs per claim to you. We have trained Claim Specialists who have minimal interruptions or other duties and use proprietary software that is continuously updated to increase claims processing efficiency and compliance with all regulations.
• We are often a major time and cost relief in handling your Medicaid/Medicare billing, adding new patients and carriers, and improving your cash flow.

If you are currently submitting claims electronically from your office, ask yourself or your Office Manager these questions.

• Does your staff like doing claim submissions, or do they dread the job?
• Are you typically getting paid in 10 to 14 business's days and experiencing less than 3% claims rejections?
• Does your program audit your claims for mistakes before submitting them and only submit error free claims to the insurance carriers?
• Does it provide claim submission status reports so you know what is happening with your payment processing?
• What is the value of your current pile of rejected claims?
• Does your staff spend a lot of time following up on rejections so you get paid?

If the value of your current pile of rejected claims is over $10,000, you should definitely be talking with us. Plus, the odds are that if you are paying $10 an hour or more, have 40 or more claims a week, or answered NO to any of the above questions --then Medi-Claims can save you time and money by doing your electronic claim submissions for you.

Using another service to outsource your claim submissions
Not all electronic claim submission services are the same either. We are not suggesting that you leave any service that provides you service comparable to ours.

Ask yourself almost the same questions as if you were doing the work in-house. Call us for a FREE evaluation or Risk FREE trial if you or your Office Manager answer NO to key questions.

• Does your staff like working with the claims submission service, or do they dread having to follow up with them to get anything done?
• Are you typically getting paid in 10 to 14 business's days and experiencing less than 3% claims rejections?
• What is the value of your current pile of rejected claims?
• Does their program audit your claims for mistakes before submitting them and only submit error free claims to the insurance carriers?
• Do they provide claim submission status reports so you know what is happening with your payment processing?
• Does your staff spend a lot of time following up on rejections so you get paid?

Special Section For New Practices
and Increasing Your Number of Patients

Medi-Claims, LLC has some special features in addition to the ones above to assist you in growing your practice and increasing your profits.

New patient data entry. There is a significant amount of work to set up each new patient in any billing system. Medi-Claims waives this cost for our established clients.

No minimums. Unlike many billing services, Medi-Claims does not require you to have a minimum number of transactions each month or pay a penalty. Nor are there extra software charges for more patients or insurance carriers than you are currently set up for.

New insurance carriers. New patients often means you have to deal with more insurance carriers and invest considerable time setting them up in your billing system. This can be very time consuming and confusing for your staff. However, it is a standard feature at no additional cost for all Medi-Claims clients.

Adding Medicaid/Medicare and difficult carrier billing to increase profits.
Many healthcare professionals do not accept Medicaid/Medicare or certain other insurance carriers due to extra paperwork requirements and a high percentage of past problems collecting on these claims. Medi-Claims' system is automated to take care of most of these problems and process their payments as smoothly as most other insurance carriers.

Increase customer service and decrease employee costs. Claims billing is the lifeblood of your cash flow and the workload grows directly with your number of patients. Before long, this is one employee you simply can not replace with someone off the street or fill in for with others in your small office. Interruptions increase and so do payment delays, overtime costs, benefit costs, problems scheduling vacations, etc. Why not set a fixed per claim cost with Medi-Claims and make your personnel investments in servicing your patients to increase income?

Increase your "word of mouth" and new patient referrals.
One of the best marketing tools is still word of mouth praise and referrals. You will have the best results if you make it easy for potential new patients to learn more about you in the privacy of their own home or office and easier to set up a first appointment. Unfortunately, Yellow Page ads all look a lot alike, simply do not say much about you or your staff, and if they get a busy phone, the new patient is very likely to call someone else while it is on their mind or before they call you again.

Here is a special low cost website solution that will make your practice more money.
Please review the Business Builder Websites section on the left of this page. These are modern, super visitor friendly presentations designed to promote your specific practice features, provide a warm fuzzy about you and your staff, directions to your office for first timers, and online appointment scheduling to maximize their ease of setting up their first appointment. You can even have them fill out and email you your new patient form if you prefer. You can have a weekly or monthly news letter and answer general questions online by email or through the special forum provided when it is most convenient for you. It includes a "no programming required" online store for any products you may wish to carry. It comes with an option of a built-in online new income stream that others are using to increase their profits $30,000 to $90,000 a year through their existing practice. These websites are personalized to your practice and fully programmed for you at about 70% off comparable websites.
