Retroactive Medicaid coverage is a long-standing protection, built into the program for low-income Medicaid recipients and their healthcare providers.
From the perspective of healthcare providers, the Retroactive Medicaid is a great initiative to maintain the continuity of administered care to those who cannot afford it.
Every day several self-pay encounters, within a provider system, become eligible for retroactive Medicaid reimbursement that are not tracked due to unavailability of a proper system.
Every day many retro-eligible encounters are missed and get expired because they weren’t discovered and billed in time.
A patient can go on to become a Medicaid recipient long after their initial visit. This makes their original encounter with the healthcare facility eligible for Retroactive Medicaid reimbursement. However, tracking a huge number of past self-pay encounters on a daily basis to determine the patient's Retroactive Medicaid eligibility is a challenging task. Our client, a billing company in the US, wanted an advanced bill tracking solution to track retroactive Medicaid reimbursement status.
Our goal was to create a cloud-powered web application to monitor the reimbursable retroactive Medicaid encounters efficiently and help the healthcare facility users recieve details about un-worked items of the facility.
After brainstorming with the client, OSP proposed a comprehensive system that would bel be connected to the existing Azure database and actual web-application database. The applications users can easily monitor the 'un-worked' items and manage only the status as Billed/Non-Billed.
