Unit?5 Life Cycle of Claim

Unit 5 Life Cycle of Claim

Instructions

The life cycle of a medical claim can be very confusing for new staff. Each staff member plays a different part in contributing to the claim and pertinent documentation or submission of the claim. Nurses and clinical staff may not have as much to do with filling out claims forms as billers do, but they need to know what types of insurances require additional documentation and forms; front desk staff will need to know when to collect coinsurance and balance bills and when to ask for secondary insurances; coders will need to know any special coding requirements for secondary insurances. Billers will need to understand the entire cycle.

In this scenario, you are playing the role of a trainer and you will create a PowerPoint explaining the left cycle of a claim to new employees.
