Manually chasing claims costs providers 19 minutes, $9.37 on average
When a provider manually runs a claim status check, it takes, on average, 19 minutes and costs providers $9.37.
In 2020, providers made 238 million claim status inquiries by phone, fax or email. Most payers still limit the number of inquiries allowed per call, which means more calls, more work for staff and more time wasted. And that’s before adding in the time it takes to update claim statuses in practice management or hospital information systems.
New financial performance demands are forcing revenue cycle, financial services and billing professionals to reevaluate their approach to claim monitoring. To unlock the cost savings and smarter workflows they need, it’s critical to deploy tech and tools that can easily automates the process. And not just any tech—you’ll need solutions efficient and flexible enough to meet the unique needs of your organization.
This whitepaper breaks down the most effective strategy for achieving smarter claim monitoring and shows you how to navigate the challenges you’ll face along the way.

The most efficient way to run a claims check is to submit it properly initially. Not only does an improper claim cost revenue, it also adds expense to obtaining proper reimbursement. Proactive management of your billing staff for each payer obviates the chain of events resulting from deficient claims.
Becker's Health Care offers a white paper which outlines the process to insure your staff operates at maximum efficiency. Modern software and A.I. offers automated processes which saves staff time.

Nano-optic endoscopes with metalenses A Disruptive technology for Medicine and other Industries
Nano-optic endoscopes with metalenses
Improvement in the accuracy of endoscopic biopsy for small peripheral lesions is necessary if bronchoscopy will play a major role in lung cancer diagnosis. Endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) with commercial catheters that rely on graded-index (GRIN) lenses or ball lenses, however, exhibit strong astigmatism and spherical aberration and thus deviate from diffraction-limited focusing. Shown is an artistic impression of the nano-optic endoscope that uses a metalens, with the ability to modify the phase of incident light at subwavelength level, to enable high-resolution endoscopic imaging at extended depth-of-focus by avoiding monochromatic aberrations. High-resolution three-dimensional images are captured by inserting the nano-optic endoscope into the lungs endobronchial visualize airway tissue microstructures. The combination of the superior resolution and higher imaging depth of focus of the nano-optic endoscope is likely to increase the clinical utility of endoscopic optical imaging.
The technology can be adapted to intraarterial endoscopy, intracranial endoscopy and many other specialties.
The cost and time saved for manufacturing many medical devices such as operating microscopes, histopathology scopes, and any other magnifying devices will be enormous. Grinding classical lenses takes large amounts of time and difficulty reproducing exact copies, while silicon chips can be made in large volumes using instantaneous chip design and manufacturing. The technology now in use by various silicon chip manufacturers such as Intel, AMD, Apple and NVIDIA would be repurposed to accomplish this with great saving in time and capital.
