Hello Friends!  Welcome to the kickoff of season 3!  I am overwhelmed to still be running this podcast after 2 years.

Hello friends and welcome to episode 28 of For the Love of Revenue Cycle.  Thank you so much for tuning in today!  A big welcome back to my loyal listeners and a special shout out if today is your first episode.  This season is part of the going back to the basics from season 2. I know that it has been about 5 months since Episode 27 was posted.  As you may recall, me and my production team were experience technical difficulties.  But here we are back again!  In this final episode of Season 2,  I’m going to share with you my experience with using reporting and analytics in revenue cycle management.  This will include discussing why I believe analytics is so vital, what my favorite reports are and how I use them to run a clean revenue cycle.

Hello Rev Cycle Lovers!  This episode is a recording of our live Q&A session today.  It is raw and unedited, but that does not diminish the great conversation.  We discussed some challenges with the end of PHE, operational challeges that cause denials and also different options for assigning individuals within the revenue cycle.  We also spent some time talking about the current state of affairs in our industry related to payer guidelines and staffing shortages.  I hope that you enjoy this conversation.

In today's episode, we go back to the "Language of Revenue Cycle" to discuss the differences between the concepts of prior auth, referrals, precertification and predeterminations.

Episode description not available.

In this short episode I thank the listeners for their patience while I took some time off and announce the new podcast schedule with new episodes.

This is an announcement regarding upcoming changes to the podcast schedule.

The topic I have today kind of covers several topics.  I had a hard time coming up with the title of this episode because it isn’t about just one thing.  But let’s just say that if you are struggling with most of the country to run your revenue cycle with staff shortages, crazy payer expectations and the patient as a consumer, then you have come to the right place.  Let’s jump in!

Today, we are going to talk about some of the differences between institutional vs. professional billing or hospital vs. physician billing.  I want to remind you this is very high level and basic.  But I think it’s a good introductory into those differences.

Today, we are going to talk about the various part of Medicare: A, B, C, and D.  I’ll share with you what each part is and then share some of the payment or reimbursement models for Medicare.

Today, we are going to discuss appeals.  What are they? What is their purpose? What makes a great appeal?

During today's live Q&A, we talked about billing emergency visits with procedures in the inpatient setting, options for free CEUs, how to access payer policies and how we can integrate the topic of specialties into the podcast.  Great conversation!

Today, we are going to discuss five KPIs.  Common key performance indicators in physician revenue cycle.  We’ll discuss how the KPIs are formulated and how they can be used to maintain an efficient and effective revenue cycle.

Today, we are going to discuss edits, rejections, claim statuses and denials.  We’ll be taking a look at each concept to understand their differences and how it is so easy to confuse them.

If you have been in healthcare for more than 10 seconds you know that we love our acronyms.  I’ll be sporadically talking about acronyms over the coming weeks.  Today’s episode is about the acronyms HIS, HIT, HIE and HIM (and we are throwing a few others in there).  Let’s jump in.

This is a recording of our Live Q&A from 9/20/22.   We are back after several months off. This is an open forum time to discuss anything with me or between those who attend.  Today's discussion was some catching up and getting to know you and discussing some of the challenges of billing. Please send me your email address if you would like to be added to this call every other week.

Welcome to the first episode of Season 2! Today’s episode is about credentialing, contracting, and enrollment.  These are very different concepts, but often get confused.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to sort out some of the confusion.

I am thrilled to be back! Thank you for your patience and support.  As the title would indicate, this episode is a teader of what is coming up in Season 2.  First episode of the season will be streaming on September 12th!

Today is the second episode in our Day in the Life Series.  I’ve been really looking forward to bringing you this series.  In the next few episodes, we will be talking about the various roles within the revenue cycle.  I believe that it is important for all of us to understand the responsibilities, pressures and expectations involved in these roles.  Understanding the people around us is the first step to compassion and empathy in our relationships. And when we work together with compassion and empathy, we have more efficient and effective revenue cycles.  In today’s episode, I am chatting with April Torres.  You probably remember April from our last episode when she talked about her role as a revenue cycle manager.  Well, she is back again today to talk about the medical biller role. Sit back and enjoy this engaging and insightful conversation.
