Two disciplines, one administrative relief
We provide information on the two core services that billing agencies like ours typically offer to healing, auxiliary and care professions: statutory/private billing administration, and factoring of outstanding receivables.
Billing administration
Preparation, submission and tracking of invoices to statutory health insurers (GKV), private insurers (PKV) and self-pay patients on behalf of therapy and care practices.
Receivables factoring
Purchase of approved, outstanding receivables so practices are not left waiting for insurer reimbursement cycles to complete before funds are available.
Insurer correspondence
Handling of routine correspondence, queries and rejections with insurers, reducing the back-and-forth that falls on front-desk and clinical staff.
Dunning & reminders
Structured, professional reminder processes for overdue self-pay balances, kept separate from the clinical relationship with the patient.
Documentation support
Guidance on the documentation insurers expect for common remedy and aid categories, to reduce avoidable rejections.
Reporting
Regular overviews of submitted, open and settled items so practice owners can see the status of their receivables at a glance.
Administrative load is one of the most common reasons practices fall behind.
Therapy, allied health and care providers spend a significant share of their working time on billing paperwork rather than patient care. Outsourced billing and factoring are two ways this load is commonly reduced.
- Fewer hours spent on insurer paperwork and rejection handling
- More predictable cash flow through factoring of approved receivables
- A single point of contact for billing-related insurer correspondence
- Clear, regular reporting on the status of open items
A typical billing & factoring cycle
Every agency structures its process slightly differently. This is a general outline of how billing and factoring services in this sector usually work.
Treatment documented
The practice documents the delivered treatment or aid in line with the applicable prescription and insurer requirements.
Invoice prepared
The billing agency compiles the invoice data and submits it to the relevant statutory or private insurer.
Receivable reviewed
Where factoring applies, the approved receivable can be purchased so the practice is not waiting on the insurer's own payment cycle.
Settlement & reporting
The insurer settles the invoice with the agency, and the practice receives a report confirming the item is closed.
