Scanning Reduces Rejected Claims – Posted on December 1st, 2010 – “We have used insurance card scanning and OCR technologies for almost five years. Before insurance card scanning, rejected claims added 10 days to reimbursement, requiring time and staff resources to track down the error with the additional cost of resubmitting manually. In addition to the time to hunt down the error, fix it and print a new form, we lose several days waiting for postal delivery. With electronic capture, resubmittals have been reduced drastically, so we’re saving money on that effort. Since the majority of our submittals are clean claims, we are being paid more quickly and regularly. Now, I’d say the average turnaround for payment is 10 business days from submittal.” Dana Mau, Practice Manager, TLC Pediatrics of Allen, Texas
