PSS proprietary technology
identifies missed revenue by monitoring and analyzing data at every step of the
Revenue Cycle process – from patient 
presentment 
to final claim 
resolution. 
								Missing charges, incorrectly coded procedures/changes, and unsupported charges 
are identified and corrected prior to claim submission. Claim error rates are 
reduced, collection times shortened, while claim denial rates are dramatically 
reduced. The remaining denials are analyzed in real time and the corrective actions initiated to
address the root causes. Payments are tracked and reconciled with the charges. 
The same technology can be applied to retroactive
charge analysis, to identify the claims with missing charges which may be
resubmitted for additional reimbursement.  
 Is my facility Missing Gross Revenue? Every PSS client knows the
							answer to this question.  By conducting a simple,
							non-invasive analysis of the interactions between
							the Charge Description Masters, Order and Charge
							Entry Systems, HIM system, Patient Billing System
							and other related ancillary systems.  Your 
							revenue is recaptured through a 3-step
							process:  
								
								
								
								
								Analyze the current situation based on
								historical data 
								
								
								
								Evaluate the extent of the problem by providing
								Gross Revenue value to identified missing
								charges
								
								
								Assign approximate Net Revenue value to these
								charges based on the contractual terms with each
								payor.  
							The Discovery
							process also detects potential vulnerabilities
							within the targeted systems and their interfaces
							with one another, as well as breakdowns in manual
							processes.   The results of the data
							analysis identify improvement opportunities,
							quantify their potential financial and operational
							impact and detail manual process improvements in
							order to achieve sustainable improvements by
							resolving these issues.   Case StudyIn a typical case PSS analyzed 1 week’s data for a $2 billion gross revenue health system located in the southwestern US.  The primary reason for missed charges was weak system integration between various clinical and billing systems.  RCIM™ indentified lost gross annual revenue of $20million worth an estimated $9.6 million in collectable annual net revenue.
							 Further analysis showed that an inordinate number of charged were over 8 days late posting. The RCIM™ Portal was implemented to enable the responsible Clinical personnel the ability to review and initiate corrective actions in real-time.
