We all know the first impression is a lasting one. Your clinic’s first impression starts at your front desk. From the first phone call to the office, your front desk is sending a message about how well your clinic will take care of all the important details. An efficient and friendly front desk is part of your patient’s overall experience with your clinic. This important role also directly affects how timely you get paid for services. The front desk sets in motion all the details the billing department will need to submit claims for insurance payments. 
We are often asked how long does it take to implement ORI as our full service medical billing agent. Typically, it takes 30 days from the time of the signed contract to be up and running. If a clinic is starting on a completely new system, it may take up to 90 days. During the implementation of the new system, ORI works with the clinic to ensure everything goes smoothly. Our full-service model is an excellent value for our clients. 
One change of note affects Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). This change has been in the works since January of 2018 when it was determined that CPT 99091 did not adequately describe how RPM services are being delivered in today’s world. Released in January, there are now three codes that better reflect technology driven patient monitoring.
