Physician Solutions

TakeCharge offers physicians cost-effective, user-friendly solutions that can eliminate eligibility losses, minimize claims resubmissions and allow electronic routing to most payors.

Eligibility

Approximately 6% of all healthcare claims are denied due to ineligibility. Most of these are impossible to recover and result in financial loss. TakeCharge’s online eligibility product, provides these features:

• Determine a patient’s eligibility before service is provided
• Obtain results within seconds over a secure web browser, eliminating wasted staff time on 1-800 calls
• Single or multiple patient requests - an entire patient schedule can be processed within minutes
• Decodes and organizes payor information into plain English
• The result is a significant reduction in unrecoverable claims denials and losses.

Claim Editing

Approximately 25% of all healthcare claims are denied due to claim preparation errors. There is no value to a claim that is accepted for adjudication and ultimately denied. Competitors determine success based on claims a payor accepts for review. At TakeCharge we understand that your revenue is based on claims a payor not only accepts for review but pays.

Our TakeCharge claim editor increases payment rates as never before. The TakeCharge claim editor uses payor-specific edits to make sure that the claim is paid on first presentation, nearly eliminating resubmissions. Within seconds, the TakeCharge claim editor identifies every reason that a claims file may not be paid based on all CCI/LMRP/medical necessity edits as well as published and unpublished payor-specific criteria which are updated weekly.

TakeCharge’s all-payor rules engine delivers unprecedented performance, allowing providers to:

• Achieve 100% payment rate for reimbursements on first submission.
• Slash receivables and days outstanding by up to 20%
• Accelerate revenue collection
• Reduce denial management costs
