Many healthcare providers express hesitation about outsourcing their medical billing due to negative past experiences. In most cases, when we explore those concerns further, we find that the previous billing company required the practice to extract and transmit data for entry into the billing company’s proprietary software. In today’s healthcare technology environment, this approach is outdated and rarely necessary.
Most modern Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are web-based platforms accessed securely through a username and password. These systems typically integrate both clinical documentation and revenue cycle management within a single platform. Because of this secure, web-based infrastructure, a qualified and properly trained outsourced billing partner can work directly within the provider’s EHR.
Why does this matter?
When a provider is required to download and transfer data externally for billing purposes, real-time transparency is lost. In these arrangements, providers often rely solely on the deposits they see in their bank accounts to gauge performance. Unfortunately, by the time discrepancies appear in cash flow, it may be too late to effectively reconcile claims. Additionally, providers become dependent on the billing company to supply claims and collections reports, limiting visibility and control over their own financial data.
A modern, transparent billing relationship should function differently.
JARALL Medical Management, LLC (www.jarallmedical.com) delivers podiatry-specific billing services by securely accessing each provider’s existing EHR system and performing revenue cycle management directly within the practice’s own billing platform. This model ensures providers maintain full, real-time transparency into their data, claims, reporting, and collections. There is no uncertainty and no delay in accessing critical financial information.
In addition to revenue cycle management, JARALL offers a proprietary reporting platform that aggregates clinical and financial data at both the practice and provider level. The company also provides credentialing services and practice consulting. As the original podiatrist-owned billing company, JARALL brings specialty-focused expertise and a commitment to transparency that supports long-term practice success.
Transparency is not an added benefit in medical billing — it is a standard that should be expected.
