Payment Posting is an important part of Medical Billing Process. It aids in identifying billing errors before sending statements to patients. This process can be time consuming and is easily prone to human errors. To prevent this, Medical Practices are shifting towards Automatic Payment Posting.
Auto-payment posting streamlines claim processing by automating payment posting through software. The software automatically posts ERAs without manual intervention.
While filling claims manually, the chances of making a mistake in the data entry are high. Review claims before submission to avoid denials and revenue delays.
Auto-Payment posting helps avoid the burden of copying payers EOB manually. It gives the practice staff more time for their core business operations. It also eliminates the chances of typos or other such data errors. It enables quicker posting and fast tracks the claim life cycle.
Rising accounting discrepancies from manual payment posting harm the billing process:
Coordination errors between primary and secondary insurers slow billing.
Incorrect patient statements lead to unsatisfied/angry clients
Inconsistent AR management due to resubmission of errored claims
Increase in costs incurred by effort to get wrong debt from patients
Inaccurate patient statements erode trust in the practice.
