Medical Administration
Due to the legislative difficulty in dealing with medical administration, ACC created an operating division devoted to administration.
Practice Management Services is a Practice Management and Claims Processing company specializing in providing technical and financial services to healthcare providers.
Practice Management Services has an experienced team with a vast amount of healthcare, technical and business experience with specific expertise in Practice Management and Claims Processing.
Concerns facing healthcare providers presently:
• Practice Management vs. Business Management
• Environmental change of the Practice Management mindset, in using the latest technology
solutions to improve cash flow and reduce bad debts
• Constantly changing healthcare legislation and introduction of more complex medical scheme
business rules and requirements
• Labor and administration intensive tasks with consequent high costs from queries, claim
resubmissions and increase in debtor book and bad debts
• Delayed payments and increase in debtor days and bad debts experienced by healthcare
professionals due to paper and batch claims submission
• Administrators place more pressure on the healthcare provider to comply with electronic claim
submission and mandatory patient and claim information e.g. ICD10 diagnoses codes, Nappi
codes, tariff codes, fund codes and patient information
