Enteral Coordinators

Coordinators routinely call upon facilities.  The Coordinator is responsible for assisting the facility in ordering new product, collecting the documentation needed for new patient set-ups, order changes, and the paperwork required for billing.  The Coordinator will conduct an exit interview with the facility’s Administrator and or Director of Nursing (DON) and works closely with the central supply staff.

Documentation Processing

Proper documentation is very important in processing claims for speedy and complete reimbursement. Our Coordinators will make certain that we have obtained the necessary authorizations and supporting medical documentation required by Medicare. These include obtaining Authorizations of Benefits, Certificates of Medical Necessity (CMNs), and confirmation of physician’s orders.

Claims Reimbursement

Our seasoned Billing Specialists are responsible for submitting all claims to the appropriate primary and secondary payer sources.  This includes Medicare and all other primary insurance carriers, Medicaid and all other secondary insurance carriers, and billing the responsible party when appropriate.  Your claims are submitted electronically insuring quicker reimbursements to you.
