OK, now that those two families from Part I and Part II have all the medical info shared among the relevant parties, what happens with the billing? Get ready for flurries of paper coming down on both. It’s not just the billing, but the repeated Explanation of Benefits, the revised EOBs, the bill from the hospital, the bill from the doctor, the bill from the anesthesiologist, the billing showing your portion is paid and have a zero balance, the Medicare part is paid, the Medicare supplement has paid.
The daughter of one of the previous patients has gotten 5 months of those zero balance statements for the same $24.00 bill, each time with an envelope to send a payment.
What a waste!
These can also be scanned, emailed or faxed to the client’s individual Siftsort.com account and then shared with their accountant when it comes time to prepare taxes, so they can maximize their tax benefits after all the medical issues they have had.
Institutions could do a much better job of dealing with their clients if they were using a Siftsort.com enterprise solution. Instead of wasting paper and postage and administering a confused mess, they could be using their resources in a more client-focused way. We are working with several forward-thinking companies right now who are looking to do just that.
