Recondo Technology Announces Recondo Financial Medical Record and Denial Reporting
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Recondo Technology, a leading provider of revenue cycle services and Proper Payments solutions for the healthcare industry, announced today the release of two new software services, the Recondo Financial Medical Record(®) and Denial Reporting(TM). These new services open up a wide range of benefits for the hospital revenue cycle and business office.
Recondo Financial Medical Record (RFMR)
Healthcare providers typically work with many transaction systems, such as Registration and Scheduling, but often don't have flexible, customizable reporting, query, or decision support capability. Traditionally, hospitals have created various data stores in multiple locations across the business office and throughout the revenue cycle.
The RFMR is a single data store composed of correlated data elements (including all historical modifications to the data). Since data is captured from the onset to the closure of the patient's medical encounter in a unified structure, regardless of origin, RFMR exposes many logical axes of interest. This collection of data allows Recondo(®) to present a complete view of financial and administrative medical status at any point in time from any perspective, including the Provider, Payer, Patient, or Financial Institution.
"This is a major step toward understanding and closing the revenue cycle loop in hospitals and Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs)," said Tyson Henry, Vice President, Database Research and Development. "Tactically, Recondo clients, using our suite of products, can leverage this single source of patient data to properly ensure compliance with eligibility, authorization of procedures, payer and patient financial responsibility, and claim status without requiring the use of various segregated, traditional hospital computer systems (HIS, billing, medical records, etc.). Strategically, our SaaS offerings use the many axes of interest to supply business intelligence in a concise, meaningful presentation to identify and improve deficiencies in the cycle."
Denial Reporting
Claims denied in error, delays in reviewing appeals, and untimely release of payment on overturned denials all contribute negatively to a hospital's financial health. Denial Reporting automates the entire denial reporting process, from initial claim to full payment. Denial Reporting loads and analyzes claims and remittance data and produces a series of standard summary and detailed month-end reports. Denial Reporting also provides users easy-to-customize tools to drill down and support specific account review. Denial Reporting is platformed on the Recondo Financial Medical Record.
Denial Reporting includes the following features and reports:
-- Number of denials received
-- Number of denials appealed
-- Number of denials overturned/upheld
-- Number of accounts and dollars with appeals and payments outstanding
-- Type of denial: clinical versus technical
-- Type of service/admission: ER, inpatient, outpatient
-- Average time between denial overturn date and payment issue date
-- Drilldown to denial specifics
-- Payer performance
"Denial Reporting exposes the data related to a denial across the entire revenue cycle," said Joe White, Recondo Vice President, Research and Development. "With the release of Denial Reporting, Recondo gives providers unprecedented insight into the source of denials and delivers to them the data they need to fix those denials before they occur."
