PMDS Front Office Support | Practice Efficiency & Optimization

“Managing patient eligibility and front office workflow with PMDS helps to improve claim accuracy and patient AR balances“

Let’s Take A Look At What Our Front Office Pre-Visit Services Can Do…

Insurance Eligibility Verification Is Performed Prior To The Patient Visit Based Off Of The Practice Schedule

Working off of your practice schedule, we perform eligibility verification checks via phone and web, typically 3-4 days in advance. This gives ample time to correct any insurance issues prior to the visit.

Data errors in patient demographics and insurance information, ineligible patients, and not collecting patient copay
amounts or outstanding balances at time-of-service, all will have a significant effect on the amount of claim denials,
the cost to recover revenue, and the ability to successfully collect the revenue that the practice is owed.
