Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) are essential for efficient surgical care, but optimizing billing processes is the key to financial success. 💡 By streamlining workflows, automating billing systems, and investing in advanced coding practices, ASCs can reduce claim denials and accelerate revenue capture. 📈

Key strategies include:

💻 Automating billing processes for faster claims

📊 Monitoring KPIs like claim denial rates

📜 Optimizing payer contracts for better reimbursement

💵 Implementing patient-friendly payment solutions

Patient payment solutions, such as online payment platforms, help improve collections, while leveraging the right technology enhances accuracy and efficiency in billing processes. 🚀 With these strategies, ASCs can boost financial outcomes while continuing to deliver high-quality care. 🏥

According to Provista Report of ASC Survey Findings, reimbursement is the biggest challenge faced by ASCs across the country along with management of days in A/R. 

2019 will demand effective revenue cycle management for ambulatory surgery centres. This is because even after changes made by CMS to support ASCs, there are some centres that continue to face difficulties in managing their revenue cycles.

Ambulatory surgical centres in the USA have not shown any significant growth in the past few years. Many of them either closed down or merged with bigger medical groups due to revenue issues.

Following are few of the important changes introduced by CMS in its 2019 proposed payment rule for ASCs:

The     reimbursement rate is increased by 2.1% on an average on all covered procedures     for ASCs. However, not every procedure will experience this change, as it     is code-specific.

The     bottom line has been lowered from 40% to 30% for device intensive     procedures.

Non-opiod     pain management drugs will receive separate payments.

The     definition of 'surgery' is being revised and is proposed to include other     surgery like procedures. Also, 12 cardiac catherization procedures are     proposed to be added to the current ASC covered list. 

ASC     Quality Reporting Program witnessed some big changes. ASC-8 will be     removed from 2020, and beginning 2021, ASC-10 will also be removed.

 Billing Guidelines for ASC in 2019

Understanding     the currently effective billing and payment guidelines is the most     important step that the ASC billing     team will have to achieve in order to diminish RCM concerns.

Billers will     have to ensure that the days in A/R for the surgical centre are reduced.     For this, the centre will have to effectively handle procedure scheduling,     insurance verification, patient financial counselling, patient     collections, patient payment plans, and patient pre-registration and so     on.

Error-free     coding is the lifeline of every surgical centre. In 2018, AMA added 170     new codes, deleted 82 codes and revised 60 codes. So in order to sail     through 2019, ASCs will need expert coders who are aware of the current     CPT and ICD-10 codes     and revisions. 

ASCs will also     have to manage and keep up with the payer contracts because they are also     subject to frequent changes. 

To avoid     Medicare payment reductions in 2020 under the ASC quality reporting     Program, providers will have to invest time and effort into making sure     that the measures are being reported correctly.
