The biIlling Challenges
The market for health services in Georgia is characterized by fast population growth and significant access disparities in rural areas. According to state statistics, 82 counties lack obstetrician gynecologists, 63 counties lack pediatricians, and there are 53 rural counties lacking a hospital. Such workforce and facilities shortages may lead to additional administrative burden on the existing practices dealing with patients from distant locations. This figure represents 82 out of 159 counties lacking obstetrician gynecologists, 63 out of 159 without pediatricians, and 53 out of 126 rural counties lacking hospitals.

Analyze RevenueCorrect Patient & Insurance Information serves as the base of any billing process. Stream RCM conducts an analysis of demographics, subscribers, payer identification, coverage information, and account information before preparing the claims. The use of such pre-control procedures is particularly important in Georgia due to the difference in healthcare access within urban and rural areas. The current state statistics on workforce highlights geographical distribution as one of the key aspects of assessing the capacity of physicians. Clear registration information will allow the billing department to avoid unnecessary rejections, separate coverage issues from coding issues, and keep proper documentation for future use.
Eligibility verification will help determine the coverage status and discover factors that might impact the payment process. Stream RCM will verify the payer information, the status of the coverage, the relationship with the subscriber, and authorization issues before the claims move forward. It is important throughout Georgia since clinics will be able to provide treatment for patients through various types of coverage such as commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, etc. The distribution of providers in Georgia is quite uneven, making it especially relevant for efficient administration processes in regions with limited clinical capacity.
Documentation in clinical settings validates the medical necessity and coding for services rendered. Stream RCM compares patient records with billed encounters to look out for any documentation that is lacking, discrepancies, any services that may not be supported, and documentation risks before billing. Documentation assessment is especially crucial in specialties, evaluation and management services, modifiers, behavioral health encounters, and services that require pre-authorization. The diversity of providers in Georgia requires a process that can handle both high volume providers in the metro area and rural areas. Through documentation assessment, there will be a better link between the services rendered and the ones that are being billed.
Healthcare service coding involves translating the documented services into coded diagnosis and procedure codes which will then be utilized for reimbursement purposes. Stream RCM evaluates the appropriateness of the diagnosis, the procedure codes, the modifiers, the documentation, and payers involved prior to submitting any claim. The accuracy of the coding process is especially critical for Georgia providers that serve a diverse group of payers and have a wide range of specialties. The workforce data collection in the State includes specialty, Medicaid, Medicare, and managed care participation by the physician.
After reviewing eligibility, documentation, and coding, Stream RCM processes claims electronically. The necessary information is verified, and the submission process is monitored to enable quick follow-up on any rejected or incomplete transaction. The data infrastructure for health care in Georgia is becoming more capable of analyzing provider availability and health care utilization in both urban and rural environments. According to Stream RCM, its claim submission materials show that 98% of their claims are clean. This is a benchmark set by the company and not a guarantee of performance.
The transmission of claims is not the end of the revenue cycle process. Stream RCM tracks payer responses, rejections, payments, information requests, and outstanding claims to ensure proper follow-ups. This is especially important for Georgia clinics that have patients from all over since administrative staffing could be difficult in such circumstances. Presently, there are 53 rural counties without hospitals in the state, but the rural population relies greatly on rural health centers and federally qualified health centers. Proper tracking will allow staff to concentrate on outstanding revenue.
Denial management helps understand the reason behind the non-reimbursement and the change in operations that can stop the process from repeating itself. Stream RCM identifies the reasons for denials, analyzes any patterns, fixes actionable mistakes, and takes care of the appropriate payer follow-up and appeals. Denial reductions of up to 75% are mentioned in the company documents. The exact results vary based on several factors, such as the initial level of denials, specialty of the practice, payers, documentation, and billing system of the practice.
Posting of Payments links payments made by payers, contractual allowances, patient payments, and outstanding amounts to individual accounts. Stream RCM examines the posted information in order to reconcile any disparities to ensure that the balance remaining on the account is correctly shown. Effective reconciliation results in improved A/R aging and helps to avoid cases where paid accounts are considered as being unpaid. This becomes significant for physicians in Georgia where multiple payer arrangements exist and service is provided in urban and rural areas. Posting of payments provides administrators an insight into collections, payers' behavior, balances, and revenue leakages.
Analyzing the financial information from billing activities gives us operational insights about the business. Stream RCM analyses clean claims, denial rates, payment speed, A/R days, collections and reimbursement trends in order to discover possibilities for improvement. The benchmarks that Stream RCM has published are 99% clean claims, 75% denial reduction, increased collections by 40% to 50%, and 90% of claims paid in 30 days. This is information provided by the company and not an absolute guarantee for Georgia. It all depends on the specialty, payer mix, etc.
