COVID-19: Expedite Claims Processing, Enable Faster Reimbursements

Patients shouldn’t be burdened with medical costs in these difficult times. Artsyl’s automated claims processing software helps payers offer timely reimbursements for anyone seeking treatment

Patients shouldn’t be burdened with medical costs in these difficult times.

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrust upon providers a sense of urgency in delivering healthcare services to patients. Not just care givers, healthcare insurers and the larger payer networks are also gearing up to aid in the immediate delivery of care, pursuant to the revised waivers and rules listed in the Interim Final Rule and the regulatory flexibility accorded to providers by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

COVID-19 Preparedness: Automatic CMS 1500, CMS 1450 Claims Processing

As for the patients, immediacy in care delivery aside, their other major concern is reimbursements for medical costs. The pandemic has prompted insurers to act in the most effective and prompt manner to medical claims and claims processing. Insurance companies are working hard to handle the mounting number of medical claims and reimburse patients as quickly as possible. Some insurance companies have offered to waive the mandatory pre-authorization checks and referrals in order to expedite claims processing.

Expediting claims processing can be best done with intelligent process automation. Paper-based transactions often delay reimbursement cycle times and are costly. Electronic claims processing is especially useful for providers enrolling with multiple payers, considering the number of paper check payments that could be processed automatically.

Various healthcare associations have been monitoring the COVID-19 crisis closely and estimate the costs of combating the pandemic to run into millions. Given the massive monetary burden on healthcare providers, associated facilities, and patients, some insurers have offered to waive out-of-pocket costs related to COVID-19. In a way, expediting claims processing also makes sense when you think about the exponential costs of healthcare and the necessity to reimburse in a timely manner to avoid a catastrophic monetary loss to all stakeholders involved.
