Reduce Billing errors LTC Pharmacy

What this video covers

This video identifies the most common billing errors inside long-term care pharmacies and gives a step-by-step approach to eliminating them, from admission intake through cycle billing and resubmission. LTC pharmacy owners, billing supervisors, and operations managers will get a practical error-reduction checklist they can apply to their current workflow immediately.

• Census drives accuracy. Daily reconciliation with facility census records prevents billing for discharged residents and missing newly admitted ones entirely.
• Standardize admission intake. A required-field checklist for every new resident stops insurance and demographic errors before the very first fill.
• Pre-billing claim edits. Automated and manual edits before submission catch days supply, quantity, and payer mismatches while they are cheap to fix.
• Measure error rates. Tracking errors per thousand claims by type shows whether fixes are working and where staff retraining is needed.

Error reduction takes sustained attention that stretched in-house teams rarely have. Staffingly dedicated LTC pharmacy billing specialists reconcile census, run pre-billing edits, and work rejections around the clock, all under a signed BAA and at costs up to 70 percent below local hiring.
