The Rundown on RCM – Straight Facts

by Applied Medical Systems

In response to growing demand, Applied Medical Systems has decided to tap into an unexpected new talent pool—our Gen Alpha relatives. That’s right; we’ve handed over the blog to the teens in our lives because, let’s be real if they can explain TikTok trends and convince us that “rizz” is an actual word, surely they can break down the complexities of Revenue Cycle Management (RCM).

So, in the spirit of efficiency (and a little desperation), we present our first-ever teen takeover of the AMS blog. Buckle up, because they’re about to explain RCM like they’re hyping up the latest viral trend. And don’t worry, no actual teenagers were harmed—or employed—in making this post. 

Happy April Fools’! Now, let’s get into it…

Aight, listen up, fam! Let's break down this whole "Revenue Cycle Management" (RCM) thing straight up, no chaser. We ain't talkin' 'bout some fancy-pants business jargon; we talkin' 'bout gettin' PAID, ya heard?

RCM? That's the hustle, the grind, the whole shebang that keeps the clinic doors open. From the minute a patient walks in, till that paper hits the bank, we makin' sure you get your dough. It ain't just billin', it's a whole strategy, a tight operation to ensure you get every penny you deserve.

They try to make it sound simple, like "bill, then get paid." But if you ever ran a clinic, you know that's a straight-up lie! It's a rollercoaster, a never-ending saga of problems poppin' up left and right.

That's where Applied Medical Systems comes in, ya dig? We take that mess and make it smooth, like butter on grits. We handle every step, so you can focus on takin' care of folks, not chasin' after checks.

  • Insurance Verification (Check the Receipts): We make sure that insurance is legit, knowin' all the ins and outs, so you don't get played.
  • Coding (Speak the Language): Our certified coders, the real MVPs, translate all that medical mumbo jumbo into codes that insurance companies understand. We talkin' ICD, CPT, the whole alphabet soup.
  • Charge Capture (Count Every Dime): We double-check every service, every procedure, makin' sure nothin' gets missed. We ain't leavin' money on the table.
  • Claims Submission (Send That Paper): We handle all the paperwork and send those claims out fast. We use them fancy computers to make sure they get it right the first time.
  • Payment Posting (Stack That Cash): We put the money where it belongs, keepin' track of every payment, and spot any funny business.

  • Patient Collections (Get What's Yours): We handle those co-pays, deductibles, all that extra stuff, so you ain't gotta chase nobody.
  • Reporting and Analytics (Know the Game): We break down the numbers, see what's workin', what ain't, and find ways to make it even better.

And then, we do it all over again, keepin' that cycle tight, keepin' that money flowin'.
