Multiple Choice

A self-pay RMO allows you to automate posting self-pay payments via a flat file from which source?

Automated posting of self-pay payments uses a bank-generated cash receipts file. Banks process payments (often via a lockbox) and produce a flat file that lists each payment with the essential details—amount, check/trace number, and the patient account to post to. The self-pay Remittance Management Office can ingest this bank file and automatically apply the payments to the correct patient accounts without manual entry. Payer site files are typically tied to insurance payments or patient portal payments but aren’t the standard bank cash posting feed. Processors handle card payments and clearinghouses deal with claims and insurance remittances, which don’t provide the same consolidated self-pay posting feed the RMO uses.
