Linda,
Thanks for offering to help! The more information and data we have to go by, the better, noone is limited to only choosing one claim. If someone wants to do one or 50, it just gives more reliability to the study overall.
I'll send you a draft of the form I created along with an instruction sheet, but I'm asking everyone to give input on details I may have missed. I'd like to have the finalized form by the end of next week so no one will have to re-write a new form due to revisions. Obviously, any notes or inconsistencies can be written on a separate sheet of paper.
I recently read an article on LinkedIn how a similar study was done and they found up to 90% of claims had an error prior to submission! Thinking about it in healthcare terms, doesn't "prevention" sound like a solution? Hmmmmm.....
The first step is finding out the errors and comparing that to the amount of time it ultimately delays the claim. No doctor should have to wait any longer than 30 days AT THE MOST with electronic submission, EFTs etc.
Perhaps we will find a new service we can offer to our clients out of this study!
Thanks again!
