Minnesota goes electronic today with medical billing
The state of Minnesota is turning a corner that no other state has dared face in the same way.
A 2007 law takes effect today, requiring "electronic billing of all health care claims."
The effort to eliminate paperwork, standardize billing terms and reduce errors will save an estimated $60 million per year, said David Haugen, director for the Minnesota Department of Health's Center for Health Care Purchasing Improvement.
"We think the savings potential has been estimated pretty conservatively," Haugen said Monday.
Mountains of paperwork pass through the nation's health care system daily and, often, no two forms include the same definitions for the words written upon them.
Now, Minnesota has defined a standard set of terms that all health providers, including doctors, dentists, chiropractors and hospitals, must use when billing for a health care claim.
"Each year, more than 55 million medical bills, known as health care claims, from these health care providers are processed in Minnesota, resulting in significant transactions costs -- and opportunities for savings," the Minnesota Department of Health said in a statement.
The changes "may be especially challenging" for small health providers, Haugen said. Most offices already have begun implementing the changes.
"I'm sure it'll save a lot of money and help everybody. Some offices will probably have a little harder time," said Connie Reinhart, office manager at Amethyst Dental Care in Rochester. Her office has already been using the new system and is putting final touches in place. She has already noticed quicker turnaround on claims, both for patients and for the dental office.
"We do ours through a clearinghouse. You just send it and in seconds they've got it," Reinhart said. She also expects to save postal costs.
It's about twice as expensive to send paper instead of electronic forms, Haugen said.
"I think there's growing interest and growing acknowledgment that there's really some potential for savings," he said.
What happens if a health provider prefers paper and ignores the law?
Haugen said the statute encourages voluntary compliance but allows fines of up to $25,000 per year. If every state saved as much as Minnesota expects to, more than $3 billion could be saved annually nationwide.
"I think we're very hopeful that the country as a whole will take a look at Minnesota and expand that dialogue about how we can reduce these health care administrative costs and how we can streamline these health care administrative transactions," Haugen said.
On Dec. 15, health providers and insurance companies will also have to electronically file "adjustments to or denials of" claims.

Medical Billing - Software System Reports
In the land of medical billing, we get so caught up in the day-to-day operations of getting the bills out, we completely forget about checking to see if our software system is operating the way it should. Needless to say, as problems become noticeable, it is usually because of neglect in keeping an eye on things. In this review, we'll go over some basic system reports that you should be running just to make sure that your software is performing the way it should.
The first report that you should be running is an error report. All software packages track any kind of errors that occur during processing. This could be any kind of processing from submitting claims, to printing forms to running other reports. This error report should be run on a daily basis. The number of errors that occur should be minimal to say the least. If you find a gradual increase in the number of daily errors, this could be an indication that there are problems with the software. The most common of these are corrupted databases. If you suspect this, run a utility to check the integrity of your various databases.
The next report you should run is what is called a failed request report. This usually has to be run on the server unless the software package itself has this capability. Most high end DME medisoft software packages do produce a limited failed request report. But if you really want to get a full blown report with all the details that you're going to need. The usual cause of failed request is a bad network connection. If this is what you suspect, have your network administrator run diagnostics on the network. Also have him check all the wiring and network cards in all the computers. Usually the failed requests will come from one
particular computer which narrows down your search for the culprit.
You're also probably going to want to run a report on network activity and system resources. For the most part, unless you have a massive billing department, the activity on the server should be minimal. Memory usage shouldn't even register a blip. However, if you find that there are spikes in memory usage, you might want to look at the times of the day that this is occurring. Find out from the billing department when their heaviest periods are as far as billing and other activities. See if there is a correlation between the two.
Finally, you're going to want to run a report to see the rate at which your databases are increasing in size. If you are a large medical billing company, your databases are going to grow at an alarming rate. While your server capacity may be in the gigabytes, it doesn't take long before you find that your medical billing software is hogging up 50% of your disk space. Once you see this happening, you're going to need tomake plans to either add another drive or upgrade the one you have.

Closing of ASK medical clinic poses troubling questions in community
“Since when did it become a crime to get sick in the United States of America?”
An audience member at a forum on health care posed that question. An answer comes from a teacher: “No one cares about poor people. That clinic closed because there's no money to be made from it.”
My friend is mostly right, but there's a group of people right here in our city that care and care a lot. The trouble is, they aren't allowed to show it.
In 1997, a free medical clinic opened in Fort Wayne. In its old doctor's office on South Calhoun Street, it stood as a beacon of hope to thousands of residents who, like 50 million other Americans, have no health insurance or ability to pay medical bills. With just a few paid staff, the heart and soul of ASK were the volunteers, doctors and nurses and just plain people who gave freely of their time and talent to make ASK possible. I call them angels. In a time of great greed and suffering, they offer a beacon of hope to our struggling city and country.
All this came to an abrupt halt. Picture on a blustery December day, 25 to 30 people standing in line outside the clinic, shivering against the cold, wondering why they cannot get in. Without warning the board of directors of the nonprofit agency said they were shutting down temporarily to “reorganize.” The board changed the locks. What a symbol for an agency whose message is one of openness.
No other explanation by the board is given until a note appears on the door Jan. 6, which says in part, “We will continue to be guided by our mission in serving the people in our community who are most in need of services.”
Once again the needs of people who don't have to worry about how they're going to pay for the doctor trump the needs of the people they serve, “the people in our community who are most in need of services” - people like Nicholas Parker, a patient at ASK, who now has nowhere to turn, whose sense of hope in a country he loves is crushed, whose son paid the ultimate price in defending it in Kuwait. He just needs a little help.
I quote at some length from an open letter Parker wrote because I cannot say it as well: “The people that these good doctors are helping are us. Common ordinary American citizens who have poured their love, blood, sweat and tears, loyalty, allegiance and way more than our fair share of tax dollars into this great country ... My wife Jeannetta and I were raised to earn our keep, pay our taxes, contribute to our communities, care for our children and fellow man. ...We are not lazy, bad or unsavory citizens. We just need a little help ...Our story is one that is shared by hundreds (if not thousands) of others, especially in an ever downward-spiraling economy and a nation whose values and ethics are under stress, scrutiny and decline as well. We would certainly have died long ago from governmental incompetence and neglect if it were not for the humanitarian treatment and medical attention given to us by these kind and benevolent and truly wonderful Christian people ... I do not know if you can imagine the desperation we are experiencing at having discovered that the ASK clinic closed, but it is devastating to us ... We now have nowhere to turn to, or to go to, for help ... Our world is becoming an ever-increasingly hostile place where hunger, pain, anguish, poverty and futility are more the norm instead of the exception.”
Who is going to give him the help he so richly deserves?
The U.S. government certainly isn't. We're the only industrialized country not to care enough about its citizens to give them health insurance. We rank among those countries near the bottom in infant mortality and life expectancy. Every 30 seconds an American goes bankrupt due to medical costs. And every year 18,000 of us die because we can't afford to go to the doctor.
Recently I hosted a show to give some of the people at ASK a chance to voice their frustrations. Do you know what they're frustrated about? Because they didn't get their $40 million dollar bonus? No. The doctors, nurses and volunteers are upset because they can no longer treat the sick. I felt as if I was on another planet. All those citizens speaking not from abstract theory, but from painful, personal experience. How can this be? People wanting to help others and denied the chance to do so?
When you're forbidden to do something, it's usually to prevent you from committing a crime. Anyone know the exact date it became a crime to get sick in America?
