Hello,
I am working with a group in the DC/MD area and would like to find options for pre-authorization outsourcing and collection agencies. I have a few that I am considering but always find value in reaching out to hear about your experiences and recommendations.
This is an MRI only group, with 6 locations. We need a sound workflow, accountability, good communication, and of course results for these high dollar procedures requiring authorizations. I am sure anyone that works in this realm knows that with the unique coverage per patient, it is no longer a general assumption based on the payer, rather researching by patient to ensure we are pre-authorizing correctly. I am familiar with Infinix, but would like other companies to research also. Any suggestions?
For collection agencies, I am finding that there are quite a few still charging rates that are much higher than expected, and know that there are reputable firms that do a great job, and are closer to 22-25% fees. There is one company I am speaking with, Finance Systems, Inc that has been in the industry for a while, and does have radiology clients. Any experience with them? Any other collection agencies that would be experienced in radiology and MD/DC regulations? Appreciate any insight.
Please private message me if you have anything you could share that may assist this practice!
Thank you
Sharon
