Figure 10.1 on p. 239 and the Billing Workflow section on pp. 238-239 of
Health Information and Technology Management
.
Write
a 150- to 350-word response to the following:
Discuss
at least two components described in the Billing Workflow section in Ch. 10 of
Health Information and Technology Management
.
How do these components affect health care reimbursement?
Billing Workflow
1.
Providers of all types verify patient insurance eligibility with the health plan, either prior to or during the admission or visit. Medical offices collect and post copays at the visit.
2.
The patient is treated and discharged or checked out.
3.
As you learned in
Chapter 9
, the provider usually needs to bill a third party, the insurance plan, in order to receive payment. The insurance bill is called a
claim
. The first step in preparing the claim is to assign procedure codes for the services rendered and the supplies used and diagnosis codes representing the disease or medical condition.
4.
Using these codes and the patient registration information, a computer program generates a paper or electronic claim to be sent to the insurance plan.Before the claim is sent to the insurance plan, an insurance or claim specialist reviews the claim to make sure there are no errors. Because of the volume of claims, a computer program is used to examine the claim data and identify problems. Once the claim is correct, it is sent to the insurance plan (usually electronically).
5.
When the claim is received by the insurance plan, it is adjudicated. If the claim is correct, a payment is sent to the provider; this is called the
remittance
. A paper or electronic document is generated that explains the amounts that were paid. This is called the
remittance advice
or
explanation of benefits
(EOB).
6.
When the remittance is received by the provider, the payment amount is recorded in the patient accounts system. Frequently, the amount billed does not equal the amount paid. This may be the result of a contractual agreement that stipulates that the provider will accept a discounted payment and/or that a portion of the charges is the patient’s obligation. An accounting entry called a
write-down adjustment
is posted to adjust the charge.
7.
If the patient has a secondary insurance plan, a claim is next sent to the second plan. In certain cases the first plan will automatically forward the claim to the second plan. This is called a “piggyback” claim or
coordination of benefit
(COB) claim. For example, when a Medicare patient has a supplemental insurance policy with the fiscal intermediary who processes the Medicare claims, the company will sometimes process the secondary claim automatically. This eliminates the need for the provider to file a second claim. These are also known as crossover claims.
8.

This document provides an overview of the physician professional claims and billing process. It describes the key steps from scheduling an appointment to claim adjudication and payment. These include patient registration, the medical visit, medical transcription and coding, claim generation and submission, claim processing by the insurance company, explanations of benefits, and payments to providers. Fraud and abuse prevention in coding and billing is also discussed. The overall process aims to accurately capture services rendered for proper reimbursement according to insurance rules and regulations.
The document provides an overview of medical billing and coding concepts and processes. It covers key topics such as the importance of medical billing, the billing process, common terminology and acronyms, and a simplified diagram of the billing and coding process. Key aspects of the billing process include coding patient diagnoses and treatments, submitting claims to insurance companies, following up on rejected or denied claims, and collecting payments from insurance providers and patients.
The medical billing process involves several key steps:
1) Patients make appointments and provide their information;
2) Doctors examine patients, document medical records, and provide medical coding;
3) Coders assign codes to medical records which are then sent to billing;
4) Billers enter patient and visit details, submit claims to insurance, and handle payments and denials.
This document discusses the life cycle of an insurance claim, including:
1) Processing the CMS-1500 claim form by transferring information from medical records. Providers can accept assignment to be reimbursed directly by the insurance company.
2) Managing patients by verifying insurance information, generating encounter forms, and collecting copayments. Primary and secondary insurance is determined.
3) Submitting claims electronically or manually. Claims are processed, adjudicated by comparing to benefits and edits, and then paid or denied with an explanation of benefits sent.

This document outlines savings from implementing a dialysis claims settlement program. It shows that for one patient's dialysis services originally billed at $13,822.04, the settlement program was able to negotiate the reimbursement down to $1,049.43, saving $12,772.61 for that claim. With this patient receiving dialysis services 4 times per month, the total monthly savings would be $51,090.44 and the total annual savings projected to be $613,085.28. It then provides the steps to implement such a program, including reviewing plan documents, recommending changes, setting up workflows to process claims and manage any appeals.
This document provides guidance on coordination of benefits and responding to claim denials related to other insurance being primary. It discusses determining primary vs secondary coverage between different types of insurance plans.

2. Define stratification, and explain how this phenomenon is predicted. How can stratification be defeated? How are fires detected where stratification is predicted to occur?
#1
This week I have chosen to discuss common heat sources identified by the NFPA in being common causes of ignition in home fires. The NFPA published the
Home Structure Fires
report in October of 2019 that outlines these fires and supports the conclusions with data from 2018. The following heat sources were listed as common denominators in home structure fires:
Cooking
Heating
Electrical distribution and lighting
Intentional
Smoking materials
Home fires are responsible for seventy-nine percent of fire fatalities and seventy-three percent of fire injuries (Ahrens, 2019). These ignition sources have proven to be the most prevalent forms of starting these types of fires. In addition, it was reported that most fire fatalities were males over the age of 55 (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are generally occurring in the colder months between November and March during the hours of 5 PM to 8 PM when, “… many people are coming home from work, are preparing dinner, or are engaging in other household activities” (Ahrens, 2019).
These ignition sources are common in many households. Cooking fires can vary greatly from stove tops, ovens, grease, toasters, empty coffee pots on heaters, tea pots, etc. Smoking materials, however, are isolated to pipes, cigarettes, and their associated equipment (lighters, matches, etc.). Heating sources, just like cooking fires, have several different ignition source types to include furnaces, stoves (pellet, gas, oil, etc.), chimney ignition, etc. Electrical distribution and lighting malfunctions or surges caused roughly 7 percent of home structure fires and accounted for ten percent of residential deaths (Ahrens, 2019). Lastly, intentionally set residential fires accounted huge amounts of property loss and resulted in 380 fatalities, sixty four percent were linked to suicide (Ahrens, 2019).
It is critical that during home fire safety visits and non-emergent medical calls that fire departments take the time to address these matters with their citizens. Most fire deaths occurred while victims were asleep, are physically disabled (mostly geriatric), or impaired by alcohol or drugs (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are preventable and should be addressed in the public setting when appropriate.

This week is closer to what I deal with on the front lines. My departments district is 95 % residential. By the NF PA the leading reasons for home fires are Cooking, Heating, electrical distribution and lighting, Intentional and Smoking Materials.

Wouldn’t this be a good idea for criminal trials as well? Witnesses could simply testify through their written depositions or even by videotaped depositions and not be forced to appear at trial. Are there any problems with this scenario?
3. Defendants with the financial resources can hire private investigators and others to help investigate the jury and witnesses. Poorer defendants do not have that option. Does this contribute to lopsided justice where the rich get better justice than the poor?

Figure 10.1 on p. 239 and the Billing Workflow section on pp.
238-239 of
Health Information and Technology Management
.
Write
a 150- to 350-word response to the following:
Discuss
at least two components described in the Billing Workflow
section in Ch. 10 of
Health Information and Technology Management
.
How do these components affect health care reimbursement?
Billing Workflow
1.
Providers of all types verify patient insurance eligibility with
the health plan, either prior to or during the admission or visit.
Medical offices collect and post copays at the visit.
2.
The patient is treated and discharged or checked out.
3.
As you learned in
Chapter 9
2. , the provider usually needs to bill a third party, the insurance
plan, in order to receive payment. The insurance bill is called a
claim
. The first step in preparing the claim is to assign procedure
codes for the services rendered and the supplies used and
diagnosis codes representing the disease or medical condition.
4.
Using these codes and the patient registration information, a
computer program generates a paper or electronic claim to be
sent to the insurance plan.Before the claim is sent to the
insurance plan, an insurance or claim specialist reviews the
claim to make sure there are no errors. Because of the volume
of claims, a computer program is used to examine the claim data
and identify problems. Once the claim is correct, it is sent to the
insurance plan (usually electronically).
5.
When the claim is received by the insurance plan, it is
adjudicated. If the claim is correct, a payment is sent to the
provider; this is called the
remittance
. A paper or electronic document is generated that explains the
amounts that were paid. This is called the
remittance advice
or
explanation of benefits
(EOB).
6.
When the remittance is received by the provider, the payment
amount is recorded in the patient accounts system. Frequently,
the amount billed does not equal the amount paid. This may be
the result of a contractual agreement that stipulates that the
provider will accept a discounted payment and/or that a portion
of the charges is the patient’s obligation. An accounting entry
3. called a
write-down adjustment
is posted to adjust the charge.
7.
If the patient has a secondary insurance plan, a claim is next
sent to the second plan. In certain cases the first plan will
automatically forward the claim to the second plan. This is
called a “piggyback” claim or
coordination of benefit
(COB) claim. For example, when a Medicare patient has a
supplemental insurance policy with the fiscal intermediary who
processes the Medicare claims, the company will sometimes
process the secondary claim automatically. This eliminates the
need for the provider to file a second claim. These are also
known as crossover claims.
8.
Most health plans require the patient to pay a portion of the
medical bill. These payments are referred to as the copay,
coinsurance, and deductible amounts. The copay amount is
usually stated on the patient’s insurance card and collected
during the patient visit. The coinsurance amount is usually a
percentage of the allowed amount and is not known until the
claim has been adjudicated. The EOB tells the provider what
amount is the patient’s responsibility.When all the patient’s
insurance plans have responded with remittance advice, a bill or
statement is sent to the patient for any amounts due that are the
patient’s responsibility. The patient statement should clearly
show the amounts paid or denied by the insurance plans, any
adjustments to the charges required by the plan contract, and the
amount due from the patient.
9.
When patient payments are received by the medical office or
hospital, they are posted to the patient’s account. When the
