Payment Posting and Reconciliation
Payment Posting and Reconciliation is the final yet critical step in Revenue Cycle Management (RCM). It ensures that payments received from insurers and patients are accurately recorded, applied to the correct accounts, and reconciled with expected reimbursement. Efficient payment posting helps identify underpayments, denials, and outstanding balances, allowing healthcare providers to take timely action and maintain a healthy revenue stream.
What is Payment Posting and Reconciliation?
Payment Posting refers to the process of recording payments from insurance companies, government payers (Medicare/Medicaid), and patients into a provider’s billing system or electronic health record (EHR).
Reconciliation ensures that the payments posted match the expected reimbursement based on insurance contracts, patient responsibility, and payer agreements. It involves reviewing payment discrepancies, adjustments, and identifying unpaid or underpaid claims for further follow-up.
