The basics
- Anesthesia record. Electronic or paper. The facility may provide one.
- Billing system. Where claims are built, sent and tracked. Your biller usually provides it.
- Clearinghouse. Sends claims to payers and brings back remittances.
- Scheduling. Who's where, every day.
- Credentialing tracker. Licence, certification and enrollment dates.
What matters most
Getting anesthesia records from facilities into billing quickly and completely. That's where cases get lost. Ask your biller how they do it.
