Iowa Provider Services

Medical Billing Services
We provide complete medical billing solutions for your practice including practice management consulting. Since each provider and/or practice is unique, we customize our Medical Billing Services to meet your individual needs.
We have the ability to remotely access you current database, working in real time with your office staff, and we do offer a practice management system for you practice, if needed …
This also includes all or some of the following services, depending on you individual needs:
- Data entry – we obtain information from the provider and/or practice and enter this information into the practice management system.
- File claims – The vast majority of claims are transmitted electronically, however there are a few that must go on paper. We file all of your claims without adding a clearinghouse and/or postage expense back to you.
- Statements – Statements are mailed out from our office on behalf of your practice or facility. The protocols of statements and collection are done specifically to your specifications. The provider and/or practice will continue to control this function of the billing without having to spend the time to prepare the statements or the business expense of the postage. All statements will have the practice and/or providers name and address on the statement and Outsource Management Groups 1-800 number.
- Payments – Payments from insurance companies and patients will continue to go to your office! As we receive payments and explanations of benefits from your office, we post these into the practice management system. More and more insurance carriers are going to EFT and electronic remits. If your office has not set up those functions, we can take care of those as well for you. This does decrease the paperwork and help main stream the office procedures. Each EOB/ERA will be audited for correct payment and/or benefits.
- Appeals – Incorrect payments and/or denials are appealed or challenged with the insurance companies to ensure the correct reimbursement for your practice.
- Aged accounts receivable – The accounts receivable is always a concern for providers and/or practices. At Outsource Management Group, we work the AR aggressively every 30 days. We have been very successful in recovering monies that most providers thought were a lost cause. The filing time limits that some of the insurance companies have instilled on the providers make working the AR a top priority.
- Reports – Practice management reports are typically issued every month, however, we do customize the reporting to your specifications along with the types of reports that are advantageous to your practice and/or accountant.

Provider Credentialing Services
Provider, or physician credentialing is the process of becoming affiliated with insurance companies so that the medical provider can accept third party reimbursement. The importance of being credentialed with insurance companies has become extremely important to the success of a clinical practice.
Patients are faced with higher premiums to the insurance companies in order to have health insurance, which forces them to seek providers that are in-network with their health plan. All of which can be extremely important depending on the geographical location of you practice …
Outsource Management Group provides complete credentialing solutions for all new and relocated providers in any specialty nationwide. We can credential you with the insurance carriers and networks of your choice.

Medical Claims Audits
Correctly coding and processing medical claims is vital to any provider getting reimbursed for the services rendered to patients. It is equally important to avoiding external audits by Medicare and other third party payers as a result of inappropriate charges and/or overcharges
The only way to verify whether a claim’s coding is appropriate to the services, is to audit the claim by comparing it to the clinical documentation or dictation that was recorded in the chart. A claim audit can reveal whether any variation from average reimbursement is due to inappropriate coding, incorrect submission or processing, as well as failure to followup with denials …
Our claims audit can help you make necessary corrections to your medical claims before payers challenge any inappropriate coding, thus expediting your reimbursement process.
Choosing our team to conduct medical claim audits for your practice assures that your coding and processes are appropriate. It also assures you receive a full and complete reimbursement by all applicable payers.
Our claims auditing team will verify:
- Appropriate procedural codes were applied.
- Appropriate ICD-9 codes were applied.
- Appropriate usage of any modifiers.
- Appropriate linkage of diagnosis to procedure.
- and more based on information supplied by claims.
In addition to auditing claims for errors prior to submission, our claims specialists can provide an audit of your paid claims to verify full reimbursement. Our team will compare your explanation of benefits (EOB’s) against your paid claims to verify that you have been fully reimbursed for your services.
Each provider and/or practice is unique in their particular needs and expectations from a claims audit, and as such we have devised a system that allows us to tailor our extensive team’s knowledge and attention to detail, to fit the needs of any provider, large or small.
Contact us today to see how we can assist you in decreasing denials, and increasing revenue.
