Establishing relationships with payers requires a mountain of paperwork. Tracking down all the information you need takes time. Filing the correct information with the correct payer can also be extremely time consuming. Working with payers is what we do best. Your membership in RMHN starts with your completion of a single application that we shuttle through the credentialing process for as many payers as you select. RMHN continuously monitors your status and ensures current and accurate information for all your payer networks.In addition to the initial credentialing, RMHN monitors all re-credentialing criteria for all payers and works with you to ensure uninterrupted participation in your selected payer networks.

Enrolling in Medicare and Medicaid is complicated and time-consuming but also critical to your success. And revalidating your status, as required by CMS and DPHHS, can be just as time consuming. RMHN has the expertise to assist its Members with Medicare enrollment and Medicare revalidation, including Railroad Retirement. Our expertise encompasses both facilities and professional providers. And RMHN can help you with Medicaid enrollment and Medicaid revalidation. In addition to Montana Medicaid, we have expertise with enrollment in Arizona, Wisconsin, Idaho, Alaska Washington, California, Wyoming, North Dakota, Nevada and Oregon (to name a few). We’re able to help you with as many states as needed.

Living in a state as large and as sparsely populated as Montana can be a challenge when needing access to specialty healthcare. RMHN believes that everyone should be able to get healthcare as close to home as possible. That is why RMHN has a travel reimbursement benefit to offset some of the costs incurred by providers when traveling to and from a rural community to provide care closer to home.

RMHN provides educational offerings to provider members and staff.  RMHN sponsor’s quarterly “Lunch & Learn” sessions with payers and other healthcare experts.  These sessions give everyone an opportunity for ongoing, open communication.

In addition to regularly scheduled “Lunch & Learns”, RMHN provides relevant educational offerings to its membership.  Topics encompass local, regional and national topics as well as focused education for upcoming initiatives.

Medical staff credentialing is one of the most important tasks a facility and its board undertake to ensure the quality of care in the organization. The overall goal of credentialing is to ensure that only qualified providers are practicing at the facility and that they are practicing within their scope of experience and competence.Rocky Mountain Health Network, Inc. can provide medical staff credentialing to its members. The depth of our experience includes NCQA, CMS and Joint Commission standards. The set up fee associated with this service is waived for members. For more information, click here.

Your practice's financial viability is directly related to its cash flow. The best strategy for keeping the revenue stream steady is timely billing and accurate claims submission. RMHN has billing and coding experts in most specialty fields.  We can take this functions off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on what you do best — providing quality care to your patients.

How It Works

When you use our billing services, you retain complete visibility of all your claims and their status, without actually having to manage them. If you have your own practice management software, our billing department interfaces directly with your software.  We can also offer you one of our many software options. When your office registers a patient, your staff member simply enters patient and payer information, then posts charges with the appropriate CPT and ICD-9 codes. And that's it!  We take it from there, collecting your data securely over the Internet and submitting it within 24 hours.

Why choose RMHN?

• Timeliness. Our electronic submissions system processes payments to complete in record time. (We can also submit paper claims when needed.)

• Accuracy. Our practice management system scrubs each claim for errors before submission. This eliminates delays that could result from denied claims.
• Follow-up. We monitor each claim from the time it's filed until payment is posted.

With the popularity of high deductible plans, patients are paying more of their own health care costs.  Collecting money due can be difficult and time-consuming for your office staff.  RMHNs experienced collection team can help.  The team is trained to recognize the special circumstances affecting a person’s ability to pay, in terms of confidentiality and the financial and emotional impact of medical care. We'll follow up with your patients courteously and professionally to negotiate payment arrangements. We also offer services designed expressly to empower your patients to manage their medical bills:

Our interactive voice response (IVR) technology allows patients to access their accounts by phone, 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Patients can: check a balance, make payment arrangements and pay bills via credit card or checking account.

With our collection services, we operate as an extension of your business office. If you want to continue generating your own billing statements, RMHN can still manage collections for you. Collection can take place as a separate service or used in conjunction with billing. As our client, you select the option to best suit your practice needs.

Now that ICD-10 is a reality, the world of medical coding requires even more expertise.  RMHN has certified coders on staff to assist your practice with education, coding audits and ongoing coding services.  Medical coding is a critical component of your revenue stream.  Let the experts help you.

Electronic medical record (EMR) systems are big and often very costly. If a robust, fully operational EMR is beyond your grasp at the present time, you can still eliminate paper charts (both existing records and those you create as your practice expands). Our document imaging services are flexible to meet your needs:

• RMHN can pick up and scan your documents, delivering them to you on a CD or making them available via a secure website.
• Your staff can scan documents and the scanned data will be stored on our shared server, where it's available at all times to you via a secure internet portal.
