Internal Medicine Billing & RCM Revenue Recovery
In a technical audit for an 8-physician independent internal medicine group in the Northeast, MDRG identified a $182,000 annual revenue leakage in their Level 5 visits and Chronic Care Management (CCM) billing. The group was failing to correctly document "Data Review Intensity" and was losing the technical value of their care coordination time.
By implementing Revenue Cycle Management best practices, including real-time "Complexity-Capture Training" for their clinical staff, MDRG was able to:
* **Recover $118,000 in uncaptured E/M and CCM revenue** within the first 6 months.
* **Reduce their "Downcoding" Denial Rate** by 64% using specialized technical narratives.
* **Accelerate Cash Flow** by reducing their average days in A/R from 48 days to 24 days.
