General questions


We have an issue with timely filing and claims “slipping through the cracks” when it comes to following up on unpaid or denied claims. With CAM, how does my biller make sure that doesn’t happen?
CAM has customized, detailed Aging reports that allow your biller to easily identify unpaid services and identify high priority resubmissions. Custom reports based on the last time that a claim was billed, the date of service and the payor’s timely filing limits make sure they are capturing all potential revenue prior to the claims exceeding timely filing limitations.
As a supervisor, how do I know what my biller is doing regarding our outstanding charges and maximizing revenue?
In addition to aging summary reports, the supervisor can view detailed information including the last date billed as well as the billers claim rejection/activity notes. A supervisor can conveniently see each date of service and how frequently rejected claims are being corrected and resubmitted. Additional reports are available, based on your facility needs, to track service volume, revenue fluctuations, timely issues etc so you are always aware of what is happening within your billing department.
We used to use a billing service, but we want more control and transparency when it comes to our receivables but don’t necessarily want to have to bring it in-house.
Whether your facility is unfamiliar with insurance billing or if your facility does not bill “in-house” our Billing Services will help bridge the gap. Utilizing Celerity’s team of skilled Billing Specialists brings you peace of mind and transparency and most importantly, revenue. Your facility has full access to all records and reports, biller’s notes, client accounts and claims within the system which makes it a very transparent process. Experience, unparalleled communication and aggressive claims follow up will allow your office to thrive without all the overhead and worry.
Since the system is integrated with the clinical charts, how do I know that my services match the clinicians’ progress notes and how do I make sure I am getting all billable charges in a timely manner?
The Progress Notes will update any changes to “ready to bill” charges, such as the service type, session length, therapist (and more) when the note is written, ensuring that your billed charges match the clinicians’ notes. The biller (as well as the Clinical Supervisor) can also easily view services still requiring a progress note to avoid billing delays and compliance issues.
How will we know if a client is out of authorizations or if a client needs a pre-auth? Can it be tracked somehow in the system?
Services are pre-set to require authorization in the system based on your contract needs. Cam has multiple visual indicators showing a service needs an authorization when an appointment is being scheduled. A client/service without an authorization will be prevented from billing and the system will present an error code indicating that an auth is required to bill.
But how do I stay proactive on re-authorizing a client?
For clients with current authorizations, CAM provides a visible count of remaining authorized visits/ units when scheduling a client. CAM also generates a report showing all clients nearing their authorization expiration date or with a low number of authorized units remaining. Your team can be proactive and re-authorize their clients before they run out of authorized visits and therefore keeps your revenue stream uninterrupted.
Our office receives a high volume of large checks from our payors and we spend hours posting payments, how does your system handle large remittances?
In CAM you can either import electronic remittances (835 files) or manually post payments. Celerity works with multiple clearinghouses for claim submission as well as electronic remittances so if your payor provides an electronic remit, it can be imported and posted within minutes rather than hours of manually entering EOB information.
We have a lot of cash paying clients and clients with co-pays, how easy is it to collect and post those payments?
You can collect and post the payment all in one place when checking the client in for service. You can post the payment, add payment details, print a receipt and generate a current statement on the fly.
