Premium Billing andReconciliation
Premium Billing and Reconciliation
Improve Profitability, Time to Revenue, and Service Quality
02
The ever-changing regulatory environment and increasingly consumer-centric healthcare market will only amplify
demand for exceptional customer service over time. At the same time, payers must reduce costs, risk and complexity of
accurately and quickly processing transactions.
From member enrollment in federal, individual and employer/group health plans to premium billing and exceptions
management, the entire lifecycle must be timely, seamless and cost-efficient for payers to remain profitable and
competitive. Managing eligibility, premium billing and reconciliation can be especially challenging as members enroll
and disenroll in plans and payment vehicles.
By combining expert agents, leading-edge technology, and intelligent, automated solutions, Firstsource alleviates the
stress and risk – particularly during peak open enrollment periods – from some of the payer industry’s most crucial
functions throughout the entire billing and reconciliation process, including:
Prompt and Precise Responses and Resolutions
With an abundance of different health plan products available today, reconciliations never have a one-size-fits-all path
or resolution. Available options vary widely, requiring greater flexibility and staff training to ensure swift and accurate
responses.
Firstsource agents understand the nuances of different types of health plans and procedures, including Medicare and
Medicaid. In addition, our secure, automated data management systems enable staff to process physical and electronic
forms, make plan changes, explain benefits, and answer questions for new and existing members – even after business
hours and on weekends.
• Enrolling and assisting members
• Monitoring and pursuing revenue
• Managing interactions with government agencies regarding federal benefits

Streamlined Revenue Collection and Loss Prevention
Reconciling payments with providers, the CMS and members can be complex, leading to delays in revenue collection.
The reconciliation process must ensure cases are fully addressed and enable payers to receive accurate payments in a
timely manner.
Firstsource’s premium billing and reconciliation services streamline revenue collection and prevent loss due to error
and inefficiency.
Our automated technology, centralized data management, straight-through billing capabilities, and deep industry
knowledge enable us to effectively audit and analyze billing and clinical documentation to assess the accuracy of
retrospective billing, reconcile reimbursements, and provide documentation enabling payers to address discrepancies
with minimal impact on provider relationships. In addition, our fully integrated system can reconcile billing with revenue
reports and identify potential sources of loss in the future.
