Revenue cycle management

Revenue Cycle Management, Run as One Operation

Most revenue leaks at the joins. Eligibility is checked but not recorded, a charge is entered correctly against the wrong date of service, a denial is worked but never categorized, so the same denial arrives again next month. We run the functions as one operation, on your systems and your rules, so the joins are somebody's job.

What we handle

Any of these can be taken on its own. Taken together they close the loop, which is where the compounding is.

  • Patient registration and demographic entry

    Patient records created and updated in your system from the registration documents you supply. Demographics, contact details and guarantor information are entered to your field standards, and anything missing or illegible comes back as a flagged exception rather than a guess.

  • Insurance information capture and validation

    Payer, plan, policy and group numbers, subscriber relationship and coverage dates captured from the card or referral, then checked for internal consistency against the rest of the account before it moves on.

  • Duplicate record identification

    Accounts flagged where the name, date of birth or identifiers suggest a record already exists. We flag and document; the decision to merge stays with you, because merging two charts in error is far harder to undo than leaving them apart.

  • Eligibility and benefits verification

    Coverage confirmed for the scheduled date of service through your portals and eligibility tools. The response and the date it was obtained are recorded on the account, so the next person to touch it can see what was actually checked instead of assuming it was.

  • Prior-authorization requirement identification

    Whether the scheduled service requires a prior authorization or a referral under the patient's plan, identified and flagged to your team ahead of the visit. Obtaining and submitting the authorization itself stays with your staff.

  • Charge entry and charge validation

    Charges entered into your billing system from the encounter forms, superbills or EHR extracts you provide, then checked back against that documentation for completeness and internal consistency before a claim is built.

  • CPT, HCPCS and diagnosis code data processing

    Code data processed as it appears on your documentation and validated against your established workflows and payer edits. This is coding-data validation support, not independent clinical coding: the codes originate in your documentation and with your coders, and anything ambiguous is queried rather than assigned.

  • Modifier and date-of-service validation

    Modifiers applied according to the rules you document, and dates of service checked against the encounter record. Where a modifier is ambiguous under those rules the charge is held and queried rather than assumed.

  • Electronic and paper claim submission support

    Claims prepared and submitted through your clearinghouse and payer portals, with paper claims produced where a payer still requires them, on the batch schedule agreed during transition.

  • Claim status tracking and rejection identification

    Claims followed from submission through to acceptance, with clearinghouse and payer rejections identified, categorized by reason and routed for correction rather than left to accumulate in a report nobody opens.

  • Claim correction and resubmission support

    Rejected and returned claims corrected against the reason given, documented on the account and resubmitted. Where the fix needs a decision only your team can make, it comes back with the reason and the proposed correction attached.

  • ERA and EOB payment posting

    Electronic remittance files and scanned EOBs posted line by line to the correct account and date of service, with payment, adjustment and patient-responsibility amounts recorded separately rather than collapsed into one figure.

  • Adjustment, denial and patient payment posting

    Contractual adjustments, denial reason and remark codes, and patient payments posted against your approved reason codes. Capturing the denial data at the moment of posting is what makes the denial reporting further down possible at all.

  • Deposit and payment reconciliation

    Posted payments reconciled against the deposit, with unapplied and unidentified cash tracked as its own queue and variances listed for your review rather than cleared into a suspense account.

  • Insurance and patient AR follow-up

    Open balances worked by payer and by age in the priority order you set, with every contact, reference number, payer response and next action documented on the account as it happens.

  • Aging analysis and account prioritization

    The AR read by bucket, payer and balance so the queue is sequenced by what is recoverable and what is approaching a filing deadline, rather than by whatever happens to be sitting at the top of it.

  • Underpayment identification

    Payments compared against the expected reimbursement you supply, whether that is your fee schedule or your contracted rates, with shortfalls flagged and the variance shown so the decision to pursue or accept is yours to make on the numbers.

  • Denial categorization and root-cause analysis

    Denials grouped by reason and remark code, by payer, and by the step in the cycle that produced them, so the reporting shows where denials are being created and not simply that they arrived.

  • Appeal and reconsideration preparation support

    Appeal and reconsideration packets assembled from the documentation you provide, against the payer's stated requirements and filing deadline. The clinical narrative and the decision to appeal remain with your team.

  • Denial trend reporting and preventive recommendations

    Recurring denial patterns reported with the originating step identified, alongside the registration, eligibility or charge-entry change that would address the cause. Whether to act on any recommendation is your call.

How the work runs

The same sequence every day, with a named owner and a documented exit condition at each handoff.

  1. Register

    Patient demographics, guarantor details and insurance information are entered from the registration documents you provide, and checked against the source document before the account is opened.

  2. Verify

    Coverage is confirmed for the scheduled date of service through your portals, and the response is written to the account with the date it was obtained rather than held in somebody's inbox.

  3. Capture

    Charges are entered from your encounter documentation and reconciled against the encounter list, so a charge that never arrived is found while it is still findable.

  4. Submit

    Claims are built, checked against your payer and clearinghouse edits and submitted on the batch schedule agreed during transition, electronically or on paper where a payer still requires it.

  5. Post

    Remittances and EOBs are posted line by line, with payment, adjustment and denial detail recorded separately, and the batch is balanced against the deposit before it is closed.

  6. Follow up

    Open balances are worked by payer and by age in the priority order you set, and every call, reference number and next action is documented on the account as it happens.

  7. Resolve

    The account closes, or it comes back with the reason it cannot and the next action attached. Denials are categorized on the way out, so the cause reaches the step that created it.

Patient Registration & Demographic Management

The cheapest place to fix a claim is before it exists. Registration is where most avoidable denials are created, and where they are cheapest to prevent.

  • Patient registration and account creation
  • Demographic entry and verification
  • Patient information validation against source documents
  • Duplicate record identification and flagging
  • Insurance information capture
  • Coverage and policy detail validation
  • Data quality checks against your registration standards

Insurance Follow-Up

Following up on a claim is not the same as checking its status. The work is deciding what the status means and what has to happen next.

  • Claim status follow-up with the payer
  • Payer communication and call documentation
  • Outstanding and pending claim tracking
  • Documentation requirement identification
  • Payment status verification
  • Escalation of claims that stop moving

Patient Billing Support

Administrative support for the patient-responsibility side of the balance, handled with the same documentation discipline as the payer side.

This is administrative billing support only. Deeva does not provide clinical services, clinical advice, or any service requiring a licensed clinician.

The delivery approach, in full

Seven stages, in this order, every time. The point of writing it down is that you know which one you are in and what has to be true before the next begins.

Before go-live

  1. Understand

    Your workflows, systems, payer mix and the reasons behind the exceptions.

  2. Transition

    Documented SOPs, access provisioning and a staged handover of volume.

  3. Train

    Team trained on your process, not a generic one, and signed off before going live.

In production

  1. Operate

    Daily production against the agreed scope, queues and turnaround expectations.

  2. Measure

    Accuracy, productivity and turnaround reported on the agreed cadence.

  3. Improve

    Error categories and denial patterns drive corrective action upstream.

  4. Scale

    Capacity added to match your forecast once the process is stable.

What you get

A documented SOP per process
Built from your workflows during transition, version-controlled, and updated when your payers or systems change.
A named team with a named lead
The same people on your queues each day, with an escalation path agreed before go-live.
Work queues in your system
We work inside your practice management or billing platform. Nothing moves to a tool you cannot see.
Exception handling, not exception dumping
Accounts we cannot progress come back with the reason and the next action, not as an unexplained backlog.

Reporting cadence

Daily
Production and queue status against the agreed scope.
Weekly
Exceptions, escalations and anything blocking throughput.
Monthly
Accuracy and turnaround against the agreed measures, plus denial categories and the corrective actions taken.

How it is measured

KPIs and SLAs are customized according to the client's process requirements and contractual scope.

These are the measures we report on. The targets against them belong in your agreement, where they can be negotiated and enforced, rather than on a web page where they cannot.

  • Accuracy, sampled at transaction level
  • First-pass quality
  • Claim processing turnaround time
  • Eligibility verification turnaround time
  • Payment posting accuracy
  • AR follow-up productivity
  • Denial resolution and recurrence
  • Aging bucket movement
  • Process compliance against the SOP
  • SLA compliance
