INTRODUCTION
❏Billing for radiology correctly
requires more than just
keeping track of money.
❏ It is a multi-phase process
that necessitates persistently
calculating money on each
step.
❏Throughout the expanding
process, one needs to be
tenacious and proactive to
ensure collection of every
cent which is due.
Unique Challenges—
Management and
Personnel
● Radiologists at a medical setting in Ohio called
Medisys Data Solutions into practice because
they thought something wasn’t right. They
employed a seasoned practice manager who
had been with them when their firm
commenced a new journey. The practice
manager showed very less enthusiasm in
taking on any billing responsibilities which
kept piling up on the desks.
● The practice manager was operating a one-
mhattnps :i/n/wtwewr.nmaeld ibsyisldliantag.c dome/psearvritcmes/emnedti,c awl-hich made
thbiinlligngs-s mervoicrees difficult in this situation. At
Medisys Data Solutions, we immediately
noticed that all three of the aforementioned
scenarios were taking place.
Analysis
and Audit
We found that in order to hide the significant
amounts of money being lost, their billing
software was configured to calculate write-offs
as contractual adjustments. Other errors and
inefficiencies were as follows:
● Payment postings were not balanced
● Posting partial entries
● Stacks of paper checks from previous months
were piling up on the desks
● Around 6 months’ worth of pending charges
● All payments were made on paper with zero

● The-s ebrviilcleins g team did not follow up with the

Recommendations
and Solutions
1. Our initial suggestion was to start outsourcing
billing operations right away because of the
practice’s serious personnel and management
issues. The fact that the practice was still
unaware of the scope and gravity of their billing
issues contributed to the resistance to this
notion. As a result, we got qualified managers
who were familiar with the current billing system.
2. Most billing companies would throw up their
hands in the air and think their options were
limited if the main recommendations were

worked numerous hours and through the night
over the course of the following six months to
restore some normalcy to our client’s invoicing
system at Ohio.
Resul
ts
1. Comparatively speaking, internal billing is not more
economical than outsourcing. A healthcare
practitioner can monitor the billing process and
adjust it appropriately for increased productivity
with an in-house billing practice. However, if you
perform in-house billing, you must ensure that
every member of your staff has the knowledge and
skills necessary to deal with patients’ questions,
handle claims, administer the process, and manage
the RCM independently. It is undoubtedly difficult for
anyone to handle patients’ claims while still
concentrating on their patient care.

2. Most-s eprrvoicfeesssionals choose outsourcing at this point
because they realize that by doing so, they will
have more time for their primary practices and may
delegate the processing of insurance-related tasks
to a reputable medical billing business.
Effective
Measures
What came next was a series of modest
but effective measures to do away with
inefficiencies. Let’s glance through them,
shall we?
1. Scanning and properly archiving all
supporting files
2. Payment reconciliation before posting
3. Processing reimbursements after evaluating
them
4. Updating hospital admissions made while
