Centralize billing and consolidate multiple clearinghouses Behavioral health organizations, especially for-profit or private equity-backed organizations experiencing acquisitions, face challenges when consolidating multiple electronic health record (EHR) systems. Critical problems can manifest on the revenue cycle side in regard to maintaining integrity, i.e., ensuring a patient is accurately billed and the organization is reimbursed appropriately. In the substance use disorder sector, where state-specific rules complicate processes like methadone dispensing and billing, the most effective organizations consolidate their operations. Organizations that make moves to adopt a single, robust practice management system and clearinghouse, integrating all claims and financial rules into one cohesive system, can experience successful financial, operational, and clinical outcomes. Manage your business and bottom line with KPIs Effective revenue cycle management requires real-time tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs), which is difficult without automated systems. Automating billing processes, such as waterfall billing and service code selection, ensure efficiency and compliance, and allow for better visibility. Removing the burden of manual code selection and memorizing complex codes from clinicians with technology can streamline the billing process.
