23. IN THE NEWS Excerpt from Health Care's Six Money-Wasting Problems by Parija B. Kavilanz Monday, August 10, 2009 provided by CNNMONEY.COM More than $1.2 trillion spent on health care each year is a waste of money. Members of the medical community identify the leading causes. Down the drain: $1.2 trillion. That's half of the $2.2 trillion the United States spends on health care each year, according to the most recent data from accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute. What counts as waste? The report identified 6 different areas in which health care dollars are squandered. But in talking to doctors, nurses, hospital groups and patient advocacy groups, six areas totaling nearly $500 million stood out as issues to be dealt with in the health care reform debate. Those Annoying Claim Forms Inefficient claims processing is the second-biggest area of wasteful expenditure, costing as much as $210 billion annually, the PricewaterhouseCoopers report said. "We spend a lot of time and money trying to get paid by insurers," said Dr. Terry McGenney, a Kansas City, Mo.-based family physician. "Every insurance company has its own forms," McGenney said. "Some practices spend 40% of their revenue filling out paperwork that has nothing to do with patient care. So much of this could be automated." Dr. Jason Dees, a family doctor in a private practice based in New Albany, Miss., said his office often resubmits claims that have been "magically denied.“ "That adds to our administrative fees, extends the payment cycle and hurts our cash flow," he said. Dees also spends a lot of time getting "pre-certification" from insurers to approve higher-priced procedures such as MRIs. "We're already operating on paper-thin margins and this takes times away from our patients," he said. Susan Pisano, spokeswoman for America's Health Insurance Plans, said "hundreds of billions" of dollars can be saved by standardizing procedures and using technology -- something the White House has mentioned as a key to health care reform. "For that to happen, we need the technology," she said. "Doctors and hospitals must adopt the technology, and we have to develop rules for exchanging of information between doctors, hospitals and health plans.“ Pisano said the industry is launching a pilot program later this year that will allow physicians to communicate with all health plans using a standardized process.

25. Billing Services

26. BillingServices Traditional Billing Services • Electronic & Paper Claims Processing • Patient Statement Processing and Mailing (Electronic & Manual) • Insurance Follow-Up and Soft Collection Services • Post Patient and Insurance Payments• Provide Secondary and Tertiary Insurance Billing Advanced Billing Services With advanced technology, we will be able to exchange information remotely between my medical billing service and the physician computers. This software allows me to expand my services outside of my immediate service area and into other states making distance barriers obsolete. Full Service Billing Our services include electronic and paper claims filing. We process claims electronically to all carriers that currently accept electronic submission. Payers that do not accept electronic submission will be sent via paper. We will then follow-up with insurance carriers and/or our clearinghouse to assure claims have been accepted. We will forward secondary claims upon receipt of primary's EOB. We will post all payments and track all claims that have gone unpaid beyond 30 days. If an unpaid or underpaid claim requires an appeal, we will resubmit the claim with the required information and handle all necessary follow-up. Our full service billing also includes generation of patient statements on a daily basis. We provide a "soft "collection method for patients consisting of letters and telephone calls if necessary. We recommend you have a "merchant account“ offering your patients an alternative way to pay. When the need arise, we also work with third party collection resources on your behalf.

27. Collections As a successful billing service, we will work to effectively resolve 100% of insurance claims at a minimal cost to our doctor clients dealing with both insurance companies and patients. While most claims get paid within a few weeks, a small percentage of claims does not get resolved and can be difficult to conclude. You typically file tracers and even make phone calls to the insurance companies but, unfortunately receive marginal if any response. This small percentage of claims may remain uncollected for months. Since you are not setup as collection agency to deal with these unpaid accounts, many doctors are often faced with two difficult choices. Either write off the unpaid accounts or refer them to a hard-core collection agency. In which case the medical practice loses 30 to 50% of the value of the claim. In addition to this high percentage fee, the practice will most likely lose the patient as a client. Harsh collection measures usually result in the loss of patient goodwill. What we wish to provide you is an ability to close the book on every insurance claim by utilizing this service only on those specific and few claims requiring this type of additional effort. We will provide this at a fee which frankly is not possible for your company or your staff to approach, not even considering the impact and effectiveness of our national collection program. RECOVER MONEY FASTER: Unlike other collection agencies, past-due accounts are instructed to pay the doctor directly. We collect from both patients and insurance companies. SAVE ON INTERNAL & COLLECTION COSTS: Reduce internal costs by as much as 30% and your collection costs by as much as 50% by using our collection system. RETAIN CONTROL, PATIENT LOYALTY & GOODWILL: You decide when to start collection activity, when to stop, and how they want each account handled; diplomatically or intensively. INSURANCE CLAIM COLLECTION SYSTEM: Significantly reduces the days outstanding for insurance and workers compensation claims and reduces the number of days needed to follow up on claims.

30. Frequently Asked Questions You have questions We have answers

31. F.A.Q’s Q: How will we get our claims to you for processing? There are several ways for your office to send in your billing, including the following... Fax - the quickest way to get your billing to us! Just fax each completed document to our office on an as needed basis (after each visit, at the end of each day, once per week, etc). Email - admin@msmbinc.com Overnight via any major courier Q: How often should we send our new billing to you? As often as you choose to! We personally recommend, however, that our clients send us their new billing consistently on either a daily or weekly basis. Q: What information is needed in order for your office to generate a claim on our behalf? We require the following... New Patient Information Form A copy of the patient's insurance card or WC ID card (front and back A copy of the patient's written prescription (if applicable) The patient's first Superbill (treatment form)

32. F.A.Q’s continued Q: How do we report when treatments are rendered, so that you are able to generate a claim on our behalf? We must receive a completed Superbill (treatment form), which has been signed by the physician rendering the services. This form must contain: Patients name Name of insurance carrier CPT codes ICD-9 code(s) Referring physician's name and the referral # Any/all applicable modifiers Q: Do we have to report the insurance payments received in our office to you? Yes! It is vital to your practice that we receive this information, so that we can enter the insurance carrier's payments and generate the necessary patient statements for those accounts which still may have a balance due. Q: What happens if we accidentally omitted any of the information contained on the required forms, and we already sent them to your office? You will receive a report indicating that the claim does not contain enough information to be processed by the carrier, listing exactly what is missing, which is normally faxed to your office immediately. We do this as a courtesy to you and your staff, to assist in gathering the information quickly, and to avoid timely filing deadlines that are imposed by many insurance carriers.

33. F.A.Q’scontinued Q: How do we report payments received from our patients, for both co-payments and patient billing? You can easily report a patient's co-payment, made at the time of service, on their Superbill (treatment form) for that day's treatments. You can also report all of the patient's payments, received in the mail, by keeping a Payment Log. A payment log enables you to report all payments received in your office, using one simple form. If you do not already use this type of form in your practice, we can custom design one for you. You can also report all of the patient's payments, received in the mail by making a copy of the check and attaching it to their patient statement remittance (if returned). Q: How often will our patients be billed? Any patient in our system will receive a bill for any balance due, once a payment has been received by their insurance carrier, if you have contracted for this service. Patients are billed bi-monthly. Payment plans can also be easily accommodated. Q: How do you handle non-payments from an insurance carrier? (Denials, etc.) We must first determine if the denial, whether in part or in full, is valid. If the denial is valid it must be written off. If the denial is not valid, as in many of the cases, we will request that the carrier reprocess the claim. Unfortunately, many carriers will require that the claim be resubmitted on paper via snail mail, and additional charges may be invoiced to your account as a result. Q: How do you handle non-payments from a patient? We will send out no more than four statements, and make follow up phone calls. After 120 days we recommend that the account be turned over to collection. If you are not already affiliated with a collection agency near you, please let us know as we are and can handle this for you.
