Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about claim scrubbing
What is medical claim scrubbing?
Medical claim scrubbing is the process of reviewing medical claims before submission to identify and correct errors, missing information, and compliance issues. It ensures claims are clean and meet payer requirements, significantly reducing denials and accelerating reimbursement. MedLink Analytics provides professional claim scrubbing services for practices of all sizes.
Why is claim scrubbing important?
Claim scrubbing is important because it prevents denials, improves clean claim rates, accelerates cash flow, and ensures compliance with payer-specific rules. Practices with effective claim scrubbing see 30-40% fewer denials and significantly faster reimbursement. MedLink Analytics helps practices achieve 98% clean claim rates.
How much does claim scrubbing cost?
Claim scrubbing costs vary based on claim volume and service type. Automated scrubbing starts at $0.50-$1.50 per claim, while manual review ranges from $2-$5 per claim. MedLink Analytics offers flexible pricing with volume discounts for larger practices and custom solutions for specific needs.
What is the difference between claim scrubbing and coding?
Coding translates clinical documentation into ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes. Claim scrubbing validates the accuracy and logic of those codes against payer rules before submission. Scrubbing is a billing function that ensures coding supports medical necessity and meets payer requirements. Both are essential for revenue cycle success.
How does claim scrubbing reduce denials?
Claim scrubbing reduces denials by identifying and fixing common errors before submission, including incorrect coding, missing modifiers, invalid diagnoses, and payer-specific rule violations. This prevents up to 80% of preventable denials and significantly improves revenue cycle performance.
What does a claim scrubber check?
A claim scrubber checks coding logic (CPT to ICD-10 correlation), modifier accuracy, payer-specific rules, duplicate claims, missing or invalid data (NPI, tax ID, subscriber ID), and medical necessity. It flags issues for correction before submission to ensure clean claims.
Can claim scrubbing be automated?
Yes, claim scrubbing is highly automated using AI and rule-based software. Automated scrubbers can review thousands of claims in seconds, flagging errors for human review. MedLink Analytics provides both automated and hybrid scrubber solutions to meet your practice needs and budget.
Is claim scrubbing HIPAA compliant?
Yes, MedLink Analytics ensures all claim scrubbing processes are fully HIPAA compliant. We use encrypted data transmission, secure storage, and strict access controls. Our systems meet all regulatory requirements for protected health information (PHI) and maintain the highest privacy standards.
What is a clean claim rate?
A clean claim rate is the percentage of claims that are accepted and paid on first submission without errors or requests for additional information. Industry average is 70-80%. Effective claim scrubbing can increase clean claim rates to 90-98%, significantly accelerating cash flow and reducing administrative costs.
How quickly can we implement claim scrubbing?
Automated claim scrubbing can be implemented in 1-2 weeks with EHR integration. Manual review services can begin immediately. MedLink Analytics provides rapid deployment with minimal disruption to your revenue cycle and dedicated implementation support.
