Credit Balance Resolution

Experts say that credit balancing is the “stealth aircraft of hospital patient accounting,” as credit balance is a liability that is hidden in the account receivable folder. Credit balancing is very important because the liability carries with it serious and real, compliance, and financial risks. It is the responsibility of your medical billing service to manage these risks for you.

Medical billing industry data shows that more than fifty-five percent of the credit balances are caused because of incorrect allowances posting. Federal Register issued rules on credit balancing in March 2016 and as per the rules,

  • Healthcare providers should repay the Medicare overpayments within sixty days of finding the overpayment, but they can take up to six months to investigate and confirm suspected overpayments.
  • Providers are responsible for repaying the identified overpayments that have occurred in the past 6 years.
  • Refunds, claim adjustments, credit balance, etc., can be used to repay overpayments.

Erroneous credits, incorrect adjustments, and misuse of the debit codes make the task of credit balancing difficult and challenging for many medical billing services. Credit balancing needs utmost precision, attention to details and good focus on the operations and out expert medical billing technicians can guarantee this.
