Executive Summary & Direct Answer

What is Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)?

What it covers
Every step from registration and eligibility to coding, electronic claims (837), payment posting from remittances (835), denial appeals and patient balances.
How it is measured
Days in A/R, the share of A/R over 90 days, clean claim rate, denial rate by reason and payer, and net collection rate — calculated the same way every month.
How we work
A Business Associate Agreement before any data access, work inside your existing EHR and practice management system, and a monthly review of results.

Clinical Precision Coding

    • Charge lag tracked by provider
    • Reporting by provider, location and payer

The Revenue Cycle, End to End

End-to-End 8-Stage Revenue Cycle Engine

Every stage is checked before the next one starts, so problems are fixed where they begin instead of showing up later as denials.

  1. Stage 1: Patient Registration & Eligibility

    Electronic eligibility checks (270/271) before the visit: coverage, deductible, copay and secondary insurance.

    Fewer coverage denials

  2. Stage 2: Prior Authorization & Pre-Cert

    Requirements checked by code and plan, requests submitted with clinical records, and approvals matched to what was performed.

    Approvals match claims

  3. Stage 3: Coding & Documentation Review

    ICD-10-CM, CPT and HCPCS codes and modifiers assigned from the documentation, with provider queries when notes are unclear.

    Codes supported by notes

  4. Stage 4: Claim Scrubbing

    Claims checked against NCCI edits, coverage policies and payer-specific rules before they are sent.

    Errors caught before submission

  5. Stage 5: Clearinghouse Submission (EDI 837)

    Electronic submission of professional (837P) and institutional (837I) claims; rejections worked the same day.

    Proof of timely filing

  6. Stage 6: Denial Management & Appeals

    Every denial categorized by CARC/RARC code, then corrected, appealed or closed with a recorded reason.

    Every denial worked

  7. Stage 7: Payment Posting & 835 ERA

    Electronic remittance posting, contractual adjustment checks and reconciliation of unapplied payments.

    Accurate A/R

  8. Stage 8: Patient Billing & Reporting

    Clear patient statements and a monthly report on collections, denials and A/R by payer.

Authoritative Knowledge

Healthcare RCM Knowledge Base & FAQs

Direct answers to common billing, coding and outsourcing questions from practice owners and managers.

  • Core Definition

    Medical Billing vs. Medical Coding: What is the Difference?

    Medical coding translates the provider’s documentation into standard codes (ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS). Medical billing uses those codes to create claims (CMS-1500 or UB-04), submits them, posts payments, works denials and collects patient balances.

  • Pricing

    How Do Medical Billing Companies Charge?

    Most charge a percentage of collections; others charge per claim or a flat monthly fee. Check what the fee applies to, and which costs — clearinghouse, statements, credentialing — are separate.

  • Denial Root Causes

    Where Do Claim Denials Start?

    Most denials begin before the claim is sent: coverage and eligibility (CO 27), missing authorization (CO 197), missing information (CO 16) and bundling or modifier issues (CO 97, CO 4). Fix them at the stage where they start.

Do we have to change our EHR or practice management system?

No. We work inside your existing EHR and practice management system with individual, role-based logins, so your providers and front desk keep their routines and you keep ownership of your data.

What happens to unpaid claims older than 90 or 120 days?

They are sorted by filing and appeal deadline, then by reason and value, and worked in that order — corrected, appealed with supporting records, or closed with a recorded reason when they cannot be recovered.

Who codes our claims?

Experienced coders who work from your providers’ documentation and send a query when a note is unclear, rather than guessing. Ask us about the team assigned to your specialty during the assessment.

How do you protect patient data?

We sign a Business Associate Agreement before any patient data is shared, use individual logins with role-based access to your systems, and never collect patient information through website forms.

Patient Data Protection

Your Patients’ Data, Protected From Day One

A Business Associate Agreement is signed before we see any patient data. We work inside your own systems with individual logins, and website forms never collect patient information.
