Pre Bill AuditingPre-bill Auditing

After 15 years, MARSI is still one of the few companies that can offer pre-bill auditing.

Usually ... In one business day

The obvious advantages are:  improved accuracy, fewer denials, and less chart submission for re-billings, all without increasing A/R days.

Inpatient Compliance Review.

MARSI’s recommended program provides a pre-bill review of coding assigned by the facility for the most appropriate MS-DRG assignment.

The pre-bill process eliminates the need for re-submission of these claims, thereby reducing any “red flags” for review by CMS.

MARSI - Innovation for over 15 Years

“We do it the right way.”  MARSI’s slogan for a decade, and mission statement since inception 15 years ago.

From day one, we've looked for undercoding/under billing AND overcoding/overbilling…  a true compliance program. AND, each recommendation for more accurate coding has always been complete with specific education as to why we made the recommendation. MARSI specializes in RAC Audit Support, Medical Coding Consulting, Healthcare Revenue Cycle ManagementClinical Documentation Improvement, Peer Reviews, Compliance Auditing and more!MARSI Physician Queries

Writing queries to physicians for 15 years, we were writing queries before anyone knew about queries.

And Compliance.  We haven't called it “compliance” for 15 years; we called it “being defensible” until “compliance” became the buzz term.

MARSI realized 15 years ago that physician documentation was central to problems with coding, utilization, and quality.  We've been successfully educating physicians ever since.

A decade ago, we began a focus on Observation vs. Inpatient admission status. There seemed to be great confusion and a high number of medically unnecessary inpatient admissions.  It looked like trouble ahead for our clients and we aimed at fixing it. The RAC focus was no surprise.

MARSI_Clinical_Documentation[1][1].jpgBeginning 10 years ago we developed and refined a simple, highly successful Physician Documentation Improvement process that actually helps train physicians and changes their documentation practices, while capturing lost revenue. Within the last 4-5 years, Clinical Documentation Improvement has become a nationwide concept.

 

Finding lost revenue, defensibly, while training your staff and physicians. 

We pride ourselves with being the quality leaders in the industry.  Our experts are nationally known.  Our results are accurate and reproducible.

Beyond all of that, we treat each client personally becoming an integral member of your organization.
