Overview
Why Specialized RCM Matters for Ambulatory Facilities
ASCs and ambulance providers face complex billing challenges. ASP-RCM Solutions ensures accurate coding, clean claims, and proactive denial management, maximizing reimbursements with HIPAA-compliant workflows
Demographic and Patient Verification
We begin every billing cycle by capturing accurate patient demographics and verifying insurance benefits. This front‐end validation ensures compliance with payer guidelines and prevents downstream claim denials. By integrating EHR data and using HL7 interfaces, we streamline patient registration to deliver seamless financial planning for your ASC or ambulance service
Certified Coders for Ambulatory Care
Our AAPC‐certified coders specialize in Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) and ambulance billing, applying the latest CPT, HCPCS, and ICD‐10 codes to reflect surgical procedures, emergency transport services, and medical necessity accurately. Our team stays current with NCCI edits, MUE checks, and evolving Medicare rules to reduce claim rejections and expedite reimbursements
Comprehensive Accounts Receivable (AR) Management
Managing accounts receivable requires vigilant follow‐up and clear documentation. We provide KPI reporting on production and quality, conduct aging analysis, and systematically tackle slow AR to prevent revenue leakage. Our advanced denial management protocols focus on timely appeals, underpayment recovery, and consistent payment posting to keep your practice’s financial health in peak condition
Daily Denial Follow‐Up and Clean Claims Correction
Staying on top of denials is key to a healthy revenue cycle. Each day, we analyze newly denied claims, identify coding errors, and correct clinical documentation deficiencies. Our specialized approach to clean claim submission includes thorough pre‐submission audits to catch under coding, over coding, or incomplete documentation—resulting in fewer rejections, lower AR, and improved collections
Efficient and Reliable Ambulance Billing
Ambulance billing poses its own hurdles—from medical necessity validation to navigating outpatient coding restrictions. Our team leverages in‐depth knowledge of Medicare guidelines and payer variability to ensure proper reimbursement for emergency transport services. With robust pre‐authorization processes and advanced coding protocols, we help you tackle the challenges of ambulance billing head‐on
