Healthcare management software


If you are a healthcare services provider, you must be familiar with medical claim denials that cut into your revenue. While coding and billing errors constitute the main reasons for claim denials by insurance companies, another key reason is inadequate understanding of the insurance company's adjudication logic and reasons for claim denials.

Using a good medical management or practice management software not only reduces errors in billing and coding, but can also serve claims filing and re-adjudication functions thereby greatly reducing your claim denials.

We know how insurance companies work

At O2I, we partner with a leading healthcare management company with over 27 years of experience in the healthcare and industry. Our health care information system identifies the algorithms utilized by the healthcare insurance industry and maps all the rules that drive benefit coverage and payer specific clinical and financial rules.

Moreover, our claim history is based on more than 300 million claims representing more than 33 million lives insured with health plans. This vast experience allows our healthcare management software to perform greater in-depth analysis and research, resulting in increased precision and consistency.

We know which areas to target to increase your returns.

With our years of experience in the healthcare industry, we have identified the adjudication logic that defines benefit coverage, medical necessity guidelines, coding relationships, bundling logic, multiple procedure rules, schedules of reimbursement and reasonable and customary charges. Our health care software identifies all these areas.

With this information, we re-adjudicate EOBs. During our
re-adjudication process, our health care and medical software will review claim history files and system databases to identify inappropriate adjustments, write-offs, underpayments and missed revenue opportunities.

In fact, the use of our healthcare management software will increase your bottom line by as much as 24%.
