Index
Every evaluation is stacked up to site specific Medicare Index.
“a” represents the ASSESSMENT of your managed care contracts. Our process involves inventorying, assessing, valuing, and indexing your managed care contracts to your site-specific Medicare rates based on CPT codes and applicable modifiers. We remove the averages and modifications used by payers to adjust the allowables, which can make pricing transparency and net patient revenue uncertain or approximate under your managed care contracts. With aCALIBRATE™, you can see the price for each code under the current contract for every payer.
“m” represents the active MODEL of your managed care contracts. We serve as your analyst on your managed care team in contract negotiations with a payer. We load each round of proposed rates and contracts into our payer system and generate a specific CPT code allowable with modifiers that even takes mid-levels and anesthesia into consideration.
“i” represents the real time INTEGRITY of your managed care contracts. After your contracts have been loaded into our payer repricing system, we can reprice your current volume of claims in real-time. When we receive the standard 835 payer payment files, we compare each payer's allowable against your contracted allowable to determine whether there is a match to our contract. If a match is found, then the contract remains intact, and you can proceed with traditional revenue cycle operations. However, if there is any discrepancy, it indicates a change in the contract, or an error made by the payer. Our system identifies and reports all variances to your payer representative, categorizing them by CPT code and providing the reason for the variance.
