Clinical Validation Services that help you reduce denials and increase accuracy
In the healthcare revenue cycle, clinical validation is a crucial phase that assists providers in ensuring that medical claims are valid, properly documented, and compliant with coding guidelines before they are sent for reimbursement. Clinical Validation is a service we offer at SmartRCM Billing that helps to ensure compliance with the payer guidelines and reduce denials as well as increase the accuracy of reimbursement in healthcare organizations.
How We Handle Clinical Validation Services?
The clinical validation process improves the quality of claims, minimizes billing mistakes, and contributes to a stronger reimbursement experience.
Medical Necessity Verification
Denials from payers for claims where the medical necessity documentation is not included. Our clinical staff conducts a review of clinical records to ensure services are medically necessary as required by the payers and CMS.
Documentation Accuracy Review
Physician notes that are incorrect and incomplete, lack of encounters, and consistency in documentation cause compliance and reimbursement problems.
Coding & Clinical Consistency Validation
Diagnosis and procedure coding should be consistent with patient documentation. To avoid coding discrepancies, our experts review your CPT, ICD-10 and HCPCS codes against clinical records.
Compliance & Audit Risk Reduction
Risky and faulty documentation can lead to audits and penalties. Our validation process is in accordance with the regulations and healthcare compliance of the payers to reduce audit risk.
