How do I have a backlog? Let me count the ways. Conversion, seasonal patterns, new business, and even the occasional lapse in attention because things had been going well. Claims-related issues start small and then suddenly are eating up hours of time, and you have a backlog on your hands. Whether it’s an issue created through plan build and benefit logic, network pricing, and workflow, or eligibility loading and maintenance, when claims don’t process correctly, it can start the beginning of a slow-down and then create a traffic jam in your process.
The challenge is you don’t always know what the catalyst for the backlog is. It is often up to you or your employees to act as archeologists, digging into history looking back in time at the claim data to find the source of the problem. Worst case scenario, you find yourselves running in place. Days go by and tracking numbers show no improvement, with more claims backing up.
But, what if it didn’t have to be this way? That’s where limited claims management comes in. Part psychic, part archaeologist.
