GHIT Digital's RCM services are designed to help healthcare providers optimize their revenue cycle workflows, reduce costs, and maximize revenue.

GHIT Digital is a technology-focused outsourcing firm that specializes in providing revenue cycle management (RCM) services to healthcare providers such as hospitals, IPAs, SNFs, primary care facilities, walk-in clinics, dental clinics, vision clinics, and multi-specialty medical groups. GHIT Digital’s RCM services are designed to help healthcare providers streamline their revenue cycle workflows, improve financial performance, and maximize revenue. Our team has a deep understanding of the complex processes involved in revenue cycle management, and we have the expertise to plan, organize, and direct RCM operations to ensure optimal results. At GHIT Digital, we understand the importance of benchmarks and metrics related to revenue cycle performance. We focus on tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and correlational impact to adjacent functions to improve the overall revenue cycle performance.

Automation is an emerging trend in RCM that has the potential to significantly improve efficiency and reduce costs for healthcare providers. GHIT Digital utilizes automation technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as claims processing and denial management. This allows healthcare providers to focus on more complex tasks and improve their overall productivity. GHIT Digital's RCM services include but not limited to:

• Patient Registration: This involves collecting patient information, verifying insurance coverage, and determining patient financial responsibility.

• Eligibility Verification: AI can help healthcare providers verify patient eligibility and insurance coverage in real-time, reducing denials and improving revenue capture. RPA can automate the eligibility verification process, reducing manual errors and freeing up staff time.

• Coding and Charge Capture: Coding involves assigning the correct medical codes to services and procedures to ensure that they are accurately billed and reimbursed. Charge Capture involves accurately recording all services and procedures provided to patients to ensure that they are billed correctly. Our team will ensure that healthcare providers' coding practices are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with industry standards. We will also provide ongoing support to help healthcare providers stay current with regulatory changes and industry developments. GHIT Digital AI can assist in coding and charge capture by providing real-time feedback and suggesting appropriate codes and charges based on patient data. RPA can automate coding and charge capture processes, reducing errors and speeding up the revenue cycle.

• Claims Submission and Claims Processing: This involves submitting claims to insurance companies and other payers to ensure that healthcare providers are reimbursed for services provided. GHIT deploy AI capabilities to analyze claims data to identify patterns and predict denials before they occur, allowing healthcare providers to proactively address issues and reduce denials. Out RPA can automate claims processing tasks such as claim submission and tracking, reducing manual errors and improving efficiency.

• Payment Posting: AI can help healthcare providers identify underpayments and discrepancies in payment data, allowing them to recover lost revenue. RPA can automate payment posting processes, reducing manual errors, and improving accuracy.

• Billing: Our team will manage the billing process, ensuring that claims are submitted accurately and in a timely manner. We will also work with healthcare providers to ensure that they are compliant with regulatory requirements and that their billing practices are aligned with industry standards.

• Denial Management: This involves identifying and appealing denied claims to ensure that healthcare providers receive the maximum amount of reimbursement. Our team will work closely with healthcare providers to identify the root causes of denials and develop strategies to prevent them. We will also implement effective denial management workflows to minimize the impact of denied claims on revenue.

• Collections: This involves collecting patient payments and managing accounts receivable to ensure that healthcare providers receive timely payments for services provided.

• Benchmarking and Performance Metrics: Our team has strong knowledge and focus on benchmarks for metrics related to revenue cycle performance. We will work with healthcare providers to establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and track their performance against industry benchmarks. We will also identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to achieve optimal performance. Here are some benchmarking and performance metrics. Collection rate: This metric measures the percentage of patient balances that are collected by the healthcare organization. It is calculated by dividing the amount collected by the amount billed. Days in accounts receivable (AR): This metric measures the average number of days it takes to collect payment from patients and insurance companies. It is calculated by dividing the total AR by the average daily charges. First pass resolution rate: This metric measures the percentage of claims that are paid on the first submission. A high first pass resolution rate indicates an efficient RCM process and reduces the need for rework. Denial rate: This metric measures the percentage of claims that are denied by insurance companies. A high denial rate can indicate inefficiencies in the RCM process and can lead to decreased revenue for the healthcare organization. Cost to collect: This metric measures the cost associated with collecting payment from patients and insurance companies. It is calculated by dividing the total cost of RCM operations by the amount collected. By tracking these metrics, healthcare organizations can identify areas for improvement in their RCM process, improve revenue cycle performance, and ultimately increase revenue.

• Reporting: Our team will help healthcare providers manage their revenue cycle processes, including patient registration, charge capture, coding, claims submission, denial management, and collections. We will also provide regular reports and analysis to help healthcare providers understand their financial performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Technology Implementation: Our team will work with healthcare providers to implement and optimize technology solutions that support their RCM workflows. This includes EHRs, PMS, and BI tools, as well as automation technologies such as RPA.

• Optimization: We will conduct a comprehensive assessment of healthcare providers' revenue cycle workflows and identify areas for optimization. We will work closely with our clients to implement best practices and strategies that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase revenue.
