This document has patient name, service dates, procedure codes, allowed amount, deductibles, co-payments, denied amount, etc. The EOBs which contain denial claims can be taken up for denial management process again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is EOB posting?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Insurance company process claim and issue payment to practice. Practice receive EOB document for each payment. Providers and patients can understand how the claim is processed with the help of this EOB document. Your billers need to review EOB documents to verify that the claim processed and paid correctly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Medical billing software has all patient details with their individual accounts. Biller need to enter all EOB details in billing software to the respective patient account. Payments are posted by line items in the EOB. If a claim has three CPT codes on it, then the payment is allocated among the payable three lines to show how much reimbursement was received for each procedure. EOB show the total claim amount, along with the total provider write off, and the total allowance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Payment Posting<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Identify and resolve the recurring issues in payments<\/li>\r\n<li>Error free payment posting can improve in cash flow<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payment posting types on the EOB for every <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Current_Procedural_Terminology\">CPT<\/a> code listed:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Amount of each procedure before any discounts are applied<\/li>\r\n<li>Patient responsibility amount<\/li>\r\n<li>Allowed contract amount for the procedure<\/li>\r\n<li>The type and amount of any discounts that apply<\/li>\r\n<li>Final amount of the reimbursement after all discount, deductibles<\/li>\r\n<li>That the right payment allowances were applied<\/li>\r\n<li>That no procedures were improperly denied<\/li>\r\n<li>That discounts were applied appropriately<\/li>\r\n<li>If no payment was received, whether it was due to the entire amount being applied to the patient\u2019s deductible, the claim being denied, or some other reason<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your practice will be beneficial if all payment posting activities are performed well. Providers can get the better overall collections if billing problems are spotted in early stage and addressed promptly.
