How Remote Healthcare Administration May Spark a New Digital Norm

As the nation continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, Madaket wants to express its deep gratitude to the dedicated professionals on the front lines of patient care. These individuals and organizations are facing a herculean task: caring for others while putting their own health at risk. The burden of healthcare administration should be the least of the providers’ worries during this time. Yet, it is essential to keep on track, especially during a pandemic that causes increased care services. Many other healthcare professionals, like practice managers, billing staff, clearinghouses, and payers, are working tirelessly behind the scenes to support providers by performing credentialing, enrollment, and many more administrative duties. As third-party, outsourced administrative partners, clearinghouses, and RCM vendors, in particular, help providers ensure quality patient care remains the top priority, while they keep financial operations of practices and hospitals afloat. However, as workforces across the nation settle into remote operations to help flatten the coronavirus curve, clearinghouses and RCM vendors are likely going to see—if they haven’t already—interruptions to workflow. Many of these organizations are stuck navigating the bureaucratic and largely paper-based systems of data exchange between payers and providers. More than 80% of attachments shared between payers and providers are still traveling via snail mail or fax.
