Using RPA in Revenue Cycle Applications

Using RPA in Revenue Cycle Applications

Can RPA improve your revenue cycle? The quick answer is definitely yes, with the right technology and experienced systems integration partner. 

A subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ReMedics uses Robotics Process Automation (RPA) in our Operations Group to create streamlined workflows where the need for human intervention is minimized and/or removed. Using RPA in Physician Practice Group revenue cycle applications, such as data verification and bank reconciliation, significantly reduces manual processes and subsequent human errors by mapping interactions between traditional data entry tasks and core information systems. RPA helps to lower administration costs and denials by identifying common errors and automating alerts for correction or missing information. Combined with machine learning capabilities, RPA programming technology can be used to enhance and streamline many of today’s revenue cycle challenges.

Benefits of RPA and Revenue Cycle Improvements

Robotics Processing Automation (RPA) provides significant opportunities for creating permanent revenue cycle improvements, including:

  • Improved accuracy over redundant manual data entry
  • Unattended and attended payment processing applications
  • Automated repetitive tasks in conjunction with AI and machine learning
  • Reduced denials by identifying common claim errors  
  • A more productive staff, focused on high-value work
  • Ability to move data across multiple Practice Management (PM) Systems and other business applications
  • Connecting disparate systems where APIs don’t exist
  • Data is efficiently stored for auditing and regulatory requirements
  • Automated processes can adjust and scale to changes in underlying systems
