What is Payment Posting in Medical Billing?

Providing quality care to your patients is important, but it’s only possible if your practice is profitable. Revenue Cycle Management, or RCM, as we all know, plays a crucial role in improving your practice’s revenue. Payment posting is a significant part of RCM. But what exactly is it?

To put it simply, payment posting provides visibility in medical billing. It helps practices track and manage their financial performance. By textbook definition, it is the process of recording payments received from insurance companies, patients, or third-party providers into your billing system. Payment posting is essential for improving the claim management process. You can record payments either manually or automatically. However, it is better to outsource payment posting services for more accuracy.

FAQs

A payment posting specialist accurately records and reconciles all payments received from insurance providers. They review and match correct allocations, post payments to patient accounts, and identify any discrepancies.

The first step in posting a payment to a patient’s account is to verify their information. You can do that by pulling up their account on a software program. This process will help you access all the relevant information, including payment details such as the payment amount, financial responsibility, and previous outstanding balances. You can use this information to post accurate payments.

The difference lies in the source of payment. Cash posting usually refers to recording payments received by patients, while payment posting refers to money received by insurance companies. Cash posting solely deals with cash transactions, while payment posting includes all types of payments, such as cash, checks, credit cards, and more.

As the name implies, manual payment posting in medical billing refers to administrative staff manually recording all the payments received from insurance companies or patients. It means they record data by hand or use a keyboard to input all the information into the billing system. Specialists often use manual posting when dealing with cash transactions, checks, or details that are not captured electronically.

Auto payment posting in medical billing is the opposite of manual posting. It refers to using a software program to record payments automatically. This process is much faster than manually recording everything and captures information from various sources, including Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA).

Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is an electronic version of the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) sent by insurance companies. ERA allows you to post payments automatically.

Charge posting refers to assigning financial values to a patient’s records based on the CPT codes for the provided services. This process typically involves entering information about all the provided services and treatments, including associated diagnostic and procedural codes, date of service, and applicable charges.

The primary difference between an EOB and an ERA is how they are delivered. An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a paper statement sent by insurance companies via mail, while an Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is an electronic statement often sent through a secure online portal or directly to a billing system.

Upcodingrefers to the incorrect coding providers do to receive higher reimbursements for simple procedures. It occurs when healthcare providers mix up codes in medical claims to refer to more severe procedures or diagnoses than provided.

It is important to post charges, payments, and adjustments on time to minimize delays. Timely postings help healthcare providers track cash flow and identify outstanding balances efficiently.

Downcoding is the complete opposite of upcoding. It occurs when doctors mistakenly use incorrect codes to refer to less severe procedures or services than provided. As a result, healthcare providers receive lower reimbursements.

Payment posting is an important part of Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) because it improves a practice's cash flow by identifying and resolving common payment mistakes.
