Payment Posting in Medical Billing: Accurate Reimbursement and Cash Flow
Payment posting is the most critical aspect of the medical billing process. It ensures that the providers get reimbursed on time and with precision for the services rendered. It involves the systematic recording of payments made by patients, insurance companies, as well as any other third-party payer into the financial system of a medical practice.
Accurate posting of payments helps healthcare providers see payments against claims, find discrepancies, and manage outstanding balances, ensuring the appropriate amounts are placed against patient accounts and reducing chances of errors and delays in billing. Balanced payment posting also enables them to judge the overall financial health of their practice, look for cash flow, and find problems either in payers or patients billing.
The goal of precision of billing for medical billing teams is about getting payments applied correctly against the right claims, including adjustments in response to denials, underpayment, or overpayment. Accurate posting of payments does not mean achieving accuracy; it results in delayed payments, denied claims, and sometimes loss of potential revenue.
Many of the health care providers have out-sourced the payment posting process as a result of growing complexity in medical billing systems coupled with its growing insurance requirements. This makes the whole process faster without raising the chances of error and shifts the attention of providers towards patient care.
