Transforming the Business of Medicine with
AI-Powered Automation

Charge capture is the process of accurately recording and billing for healthcare services that are provided to a patient. It involves capturing all billable items or procedures that were performed, including medications, supplies, diagnostic tests, and other services.

Datamede automates charge capture, so your medical practice can run smoothly and avoid lost revenue.

While EMR/EHR (Electronic Medical Records/Electronic Health Records) can be effective solutions in healthcare settings, they are expensive and focus on more than charge capture. 

Considering factors such as cost, features, usability, and integration with other systems, EMR/EHR can be a suboptimal and costly solution for independent medical groups and small to medium size physician practices.

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and charge capture are two different but related concepts in healthcare billing and reimbursement. While charge capture is a part of the broader process, it is crucial to RCM.

Charge capture, on the other hand, is a specific step in the RCM process that involves accurately documenting and capturing all billable items or services provided to a patient. Charge capture ensures that healthcare providers are reimbursed for the services they provide by accurately recording and billing for all the services rendered.

Yes, charge capture automation can help healthcare providers mitigate revenue leakage.

Revenue leakage occurs when billable items or services are not accurately documented or captured, resulting in lost revenue for healthcare providers. 

Automated charge capture solutions use advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify billable items and services in real-time. Leveraging electronic medical records (EMRs) and other healthcare databases to identify billable services and procedures can help ensure no billable items are missed. Automated charge capture systems can also identify potential errors or inconsistencies in billing data, reducing the risk of billing disputes or audits.

In addition, automated charge capture can help reduce revenue leakage by streamlining the billing process and reducing the time and effort required for manual billing. This can help ensure that all billable items are captured in a timely manner and that revenue is not lost due to delayed or inaccurate billing.

Data quality plays a crucial role in charge capture. Poor data quality can result in revenue leakage, billing errors, and delayed or denied reimbursement. 

For example, if billing codes are not accurately recorded or if billable services are not properly documented, healthcare providers may not be reimbursed for all the services they provide. Additionally, incomplete or inaccurate patient information can lead to billing errors or denials from insurance companies, resulting in lost revenue for healthcare providers.

Data quality can be improved with charge capture automation.

Yes, AI (Artificial Intelligence) can help with charge capture automation by improving accuracy, efficiency, and workflow, optimizing revenue cycle management strategies, and reducing the risk of billing errors or disputes.

AI-driven charge capture can help healthcare providers reduce the time and effort required for manual billing. It ensures that all billable items are captured in a timely manner and that revenue is not lost due to delayed or inaccurate billing.

It can also provide insights into billing trends and identifying areas for improvement. By analyzing billing data and identifying patterns and trends, AI can help healthcare providers make data-driven decisions to improve their charge capture processes and optimize revenue collection.
