This curriculum spans the technical and operational rigor of a multi-workshop IT support program for revenue cycle systems, comparable to the sustained engagement required to maintain integration, security, and compliance across registration, billing, and claims platforms in a live healthcare finance environment.

Module 1: Understanding Revenue Cycle Architecture and System Integration

  • Map data flows between registration, charge capture, billing, and payment posting systems to identify integration failure points.
  • Configure HL7 interfaces between EHR and billing platforms to ensure accurate patient and encounter data synchronization.
  • Evaluate the impact of custom build versus standard interface templates on long-term supportability.
  • Diagnose and resolve duplicate account creation caused by mismatched MPI (Master Patient Index) logic across systems.
  • Implement fallback procedures for when real-time eligibility verification services are unavailable.
  • Coordinate with pharmacy and lab systems to validate charge capture timing and prevent unbilled services.

Module 2: User Access Management and Role-Based Security

  • Design role templates that align with job functions in registration, coding, and collections while minimizing over-privileged access.
  • Enforce segregation of duties between users who can post payments and those who can issue refunds.
  • Respond to audit findings by remediating excessive access rights without disrupting clinical or billing operations.
  • Implement time-bound access for temporary staff and contractors in high-risk billing functions.
  • Integrate single sign-on (SSO) with legacy revenue cycle applications that lack native SAML support.
  • Document access review processes to meet HIPAA and internal compliance requirements on a quarterly basis.

Module 3: Revenue Integrity and Charge Capture Validation

  • Configure charge capture edit checks to flag unbilled CPT codes based on procedure-to-charge dictionaries.
  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies between OR documentation and actual charges billed.
  • Monitor charge lag reports to identify departments consistently delaying charge entry beyond policy thresholds.
  • Validate that supply charges from materials management systems are correctly mapped to patient accounts.

  • Support coding teams by troubleshooting instances where charges are dropped due to invalid modifiers or NCCI edits.

Module 4: Claims Processing and Payer Interface Management

  • Troubleshoot 837 claim rejections due to invalid NPI, taxonomy codes, or payer-specific formatting rules.
  • Configure claim scrubbing rules to reduce denials before submission to Medicare and commercial payers.
  • Manage 270/271 eligibility transaction flows and interpret response codes for front-desk use.
  • Respond to payer portal outages by activating batch claim resubmission protocols.
  • Validate 835 ERA (Electronic Remittance Advice) posting accuracy against manual payment records.
  • Coordinate with clearinghouses to diagnose transmission failures during peak claim submission windows.

  • Integrate denial management tools with the billing system to automate worklist assignments.
  • Support appeals teams by extracting clinical documentation linked to denied claims.
  • Adjust system workflows to prevent recurring denials due to missing authorizations or untimely filing.
  • Monitor denial aging reports to escalate unresolved cases beyond 30 days.
  • Validate that corrected claims are rebilled with appropriate resubmission codes and corrected data.

Module 7: System Performance, Uptime, and Incident Response

  • Monitor batch job execution for critical revenue cycle processes such as claim generation and payment posting.
  • Respond to system outages during peak registration hours with documented workarounds and data recovery plans.
  • Optimize database indexes on high-volume tables like patient accounts and transactions to reduce query latency.
  • Coordinate maintenance windows with finance teams to avoid disruption during month-end close.
  • Diagnose user-reported performance issues by analyzing application logs and network latency.
