Proprietary Software
Copays and Deductibles are often low dollar, high volume accounts. Due to the sheer volume of accounts it can be easy to miss some of these in the MCBD claiming process, especially during a manual audit. However, these low-balance accounts can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in MCBD claims for hospitals. We have developed proprietary software (AccuTrack) to address this concern. Accutrack, powered by Microsoft SQL Server, aggregates and reconciles potentially millions of lines of patient data from different sources in a fraction of the time it would take during a manual review. This allows us to investigate more data in less time and uncover more money for you.
