Complete Initial Setup:
With your input we carefully evaluate the intake
forms you are currently using. We then use that
information to design a set of encounter and patient
information forms that are clear and effective and will
simplify the paperwork burden for your practice.
Electronic Billing and Secondary
Claims:
Claims are submitted electronically within the first 48
hours of receiving them by your practice. Clean
claims are usually paid within 14 days. However we
have seen claims paid as little as 7 days. Depending
on the carrier electronic reimbursement averages 14
days. Claims with multiple payers are normally
crossed-over automatically by the primary payer to
the secondary payer.
Auto Accidents and Workman’s Comp Cases:
Island Pro uses custom software that has the
necessary forms such as the NF-3 and the C-4 forms
which is required when billing to these particular
carriers.
Payments and Posting:
Each EOB is analyzed and the appropriate payment
posted for the proper claim. Your practice receives
the un-cashed checks and is billed monthly only on
collected accounts.
Patient Billing:
Monthly statements are mailed for each account
which clearly identifies patients’ responsibilities such
as co-pays, coinsurance, and/or deductibles. It is our
recommendation that as many co-pays as possible be
collected in the office. We will follow your specified
protocol for collecting on patient balances.
Billing Inquiries:
We understand that patient billing inquiries are very
time consuming for medical offices. We understand
that patients are often confused. We answer all
questions from patients promptly, and courteously,
and we assure the patient that they can always call if
they have additional questions.
