Utilization Review Technology Improves Outcomes for Behavior Healthcare Providers
If you’ve worked in the behavioral healthcare realm for more than a few months, you already know treatment services aren’t always utilized the way they should be. This is more often due to billing problems than treatment issues. Because of this, the utilization review process has disintegrated over time, and now providers need multiple full-time employees to deal with insurance companies, handle medical billing, process insurance claims, and pursue medical collections.
It comes as no surprise, then, that the last few years have seen a 25.2 percent increase in the administrative cost associated with billing and insurance-related activities.
These billing issues have led to behavioral healthcare providers spending just as much time, effort, and money ensuring services are used appropriately as they do providing actual care. This heavy burden of utilization review makes providing care to those who need it more difficult.
With the current opiate epidemic plaguing the nation, those suffering from addiction need treatment more than ever before, yet substance abuse billing has become a struggle for providers coast to coast. In 2017 alone, the amount of healthcare-related bankruptcies more than tripled.
