Rampant errors in insurance claims and coding may result in delayed revenue cycles for clinics. These errors prevent vision care professionals from realizing the percentage of payments they should from insurance companies. Even when they finally receive these payments, it’s weeks after the claim has been submitted, slowing down cash flow. But billing tools like Apex EDI’s insurance claim clearinghouse remove the headache from the whole process.
