Charge Capture
Capturing and tracking revenue
Maximize revenue and improve cash flow by capturing charges with Kareo. You can capture all charges quickly, check codes against ever-changing insurance reimbursement rules, and track every patient encounter from appointment to claim submission. Kareo helps you ensure that all revenue is captured quickly and accurately so your provider gets paid faster the first time.
Capture Charges
You can capture charges using mobile devices, scanned documents, or good old-fashioned data entry. We have streamlined the data entry process with various features. Use ticket numbers printed on encounter forms to quickly transfer patient, insurance, provider, and date information from appointments. Use procedure macros, or exploding procedure codes, to quickly enter a collection of procedure and diagnosis codes for common patient visits. Set up billing defaults, such as providers and service location, to save time by eliminating repetitive data entry. Finally, use missed encounter reports to identify any visits with missing charges.
Scrub Claims and Check Codes
Stay ahead of ever-changing coding standards and insurance reimbursement rules with powerful claim scrubbing technology that eliminates claim denials and rejections. You can perform a real-time code check integrated with your charge entry process, including CCI edit validation, ICD-9 code validation, CPT®/HCPCS code and modifier validation, CPT®/HCPCS code sequencing, and local and national coverage decision (LCD/NCD) validation. You can also access a comprehensive knowledge-base of coding, compliance, and reimbursement rules, including federal register, Medicare bulletins, local coverage decisions, and other payer-specific reimbursement rules.
Track Encounters
Use simple, template based encounters to capture patient visits in the front-office. Built-in messaging enables front and back office users to communicate, exchange information, and resolve errors quickly. You can also track the flow of encounters through each stage of the process, from data entry, submission, coding, approval, billing, and collection. It's like having FedEx-level tracking of encounters throughout your billing process.
Manage Copays
Whether your front-office users capture copays upon checkout or your billers enter copays with encounters, you can post copays, automatically apply copays to charges, and track and bill for missed copays concurrently with the insurance billing process.
Handle Special Scenarios
Kareo also provides support for special billing scenarios, such as anesthesia billing, ambulance billing, and unpayable encounters.
