Our Workers Compensation Billing Process

We follow a definite billing process to ensure our clients get full reimbursements. Our workers compensation medical billing process entails the following steps -

01. Verify Employee Credentials

Once an employee visits a medical provider to receive benefits a written notice of the injury is obtained as soon as possible from the employee or employer. At this stage we verify the injured worker's employment and injury history, on behalf of the provider.

02. Case Verification

After verifying employee credentials, we meticulously verify the full details of the insurance company with details on adjusters, case status, body parts, etc.

03. Pre-Authorization Request

In this stage, we request for authorization to kick-start the utilization review process as required by Labor Code section 4610. The request is supported with doctor's first report of occupational illness or injury, Form DLSR 5021, DWC Form PR-2, a treating physician's progress report etc. to substantiate the required treatment.

04. Billing and Coding

After obtaining the authorization and the treatment is carried out, we procure the medical reports to ascertain the afflicted body parts and treatment carried out. Based on the reports and procedures we carry out coding. The coding is checked for accuracy multiple times because codes for workers compensation are updated frequently.

05. Bill Submission

After the quality check, the bills are ready for submission on the carriers portal. Though regulations stipulate bill for payment within 12 months of providing a service, we ensure submission is completed soon enough for early reimbursements.

06. Timely follow-up

We do regular follow ups to ensure reimbursements are on time. As insurance companies need to pay providers within working 15 days of receiving a bill, we pursue a bill payment much before the deadline.

07. Review and Submission

In case the payer does not actually pay the full amount, we scrutinize the payment and explanation of benefits, and file the second bill review within 90 days of submission. If the bill is still not properly paid, we take all the necessary steps to initiate an independent bill review.
