OB-GYN practices in Texas are losing significant revenue due to Medicaid managed care underpayments that go uncorrected before filing deadlines expire. These underpayments often remain hidden within high claim volumes, and without proactive follow-up, they turn into permanent revenue loss. Texas has one of the largest Medicaid populations in the country, with multiple managed care organizations (MCOs) administering benefits. While this expands patient access, it also introduces complexity in reimbursement. Each payer applies different fee schedules, edits, and payment rules, making it difficult to track whether claims are paid accurately. This is why many providers rely on specialized OB-GYN billing services and medical billing services in Texas to identify and recover lost revenue.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is equipment that includes oxygen supplies, wheelchairs, iron lungs, catheters, etc. As you are starting a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) company, be prepared with time on hand, money, endurance, and determination; as it ultimately boils down to being paid for the products sold by your company. This means receiving DME bills from clients (patients/healthcare providers) and accepting the insurance, billing the insurance, and finally receiving payments for the DME billing from the insurance provider- is called Credentialing For DME Companies.

DME business also referred to as Home Medical Equipment business is replete with potholes along the way which need to be cleared. One of them is ‘Provider Credentialing.’ Credentialing simply denotes verification. It’s also known as DME credentialing, DME medical credentialing, DME provider enrollment, insurance credentialing, or getting on insurance panels. These terms imply that the patient is going to pay through insurance and your company is “In-Network” with the insurance companies. And, as you go on to be accepted as a provider (post credentialing), receiving payments of DME billing through this process is known as an “In-Network” provider. It also implies acknowledging more clients along with on-time and accurate payments. There are a number of companies through which a DME company can/should be credentialed; government organizations like Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare, and other big players (commercial insurance) in the market such as Aetna, BCBS, UHC, Cigna, etc. Smaller companies could be targeted too as they have immense potential with respect to a greater number of clients and comprise lesser competition.

Yet, increasing Days in Accounts Receivable (A/R) continues to be one of the most pressing revenue cycle issues for healthcare providers. One of the major culprits behind this issue? Denials. In this blog, we explore how strategic denial management not only reduces days in A/R but also improves cash flow and strengthens your bottom line. Understanding Days in A/R Days in A/R refers to the average number of days it takes for a practice to collect payments due after services have been provided.

How Claim Denials Affect A/R Denied claims delay payments and increase administrative burden. Without an effective process to identify, appeal, and correct them, your A/R days will climb - and revenue will suffer. Top causes of denials include: Missing or incorrect ...
