Every denial categorized by cause and routed back to the stage that should have prevented it.
YTC Healthcare has expanded its full-service medical billing and revenue cycle management for practices, clinics and hospitals in Canada and the United States. The expansion adds specialty coding coverage, additional denial management and accounts receivable follow-up capacity, and broader payer coverage spanning Canadian provincial plans and United States Medicare, Medicaid and commercial claims.
The Cycle Runs In Thirteen Stages, Each With An Owner
Eligibility and benefits verification, medical coding, claim preparation and scrubbing, submission, rejection handling, denial management and appeals, accounts receivable follow-up, payment posting and reconciliation, underpayment recovery, patient billing support and performance reporting. Each stage has one accountable owner and one control that must pass before work moves forward.
Five Controls That Separate This From Claim Processing
- Coverage confirmed before the visit. Eligibility, benefits and authorization checked before the claim exists.
- Coding by specialty. Codes set to the specificity the documentation supports, by coders working in that specialty rather than through a general queue.
- Rule check before submission. Payer rules applied before the claim leaves.
- Denials categorized by cause. Appealed on the cause, not resubmitted unchanged.
- Payment checked against the contract. Paid does not mean paid correctly.
Why A Denial Rate On Its Own Tells A Practice Nothing
“Ask a billing company what caused last month’s denials and you usually get a percentage,” said Salman Rehan, President and CEO of YTC Healthcare. “A percentage with no category, no payer and no provider behind it is not a report, it is a headline. A practice with a 12% denial rate does not have a denial problem, it has a reporting problem that produces one, because the corrective effort gets spread evenly across a failure that is concentrated in two or three categories.”
Underpayments Are Worked Separately From Denials
A payment that posts below the contracted rate leaves the worklist looking resolved, which makes underpayment one of the least visible losses in a practice. Claims are compared against contracted rates rather than closed on receipt of payment.
Targets, And What Is Not Promised
YTC tracks every claim against a target of 95% or higher first-pass acceptance, and works to accounts receivable under 40 days. Both are internal targets, not promised outcomes.
YTC does not guarantee a collection rate, a denial rate or a cash flow result. Payer behaviour, documentation quality, specialty mix and claim volume all affect what a practice collects. What the company commits to instead:
- A named owner at every stage
- Eligibility and authorization checked before the claim, not after the denial
- Every denial categorized, root-caused, and either resolved or documented as uncollectible
- Every open balance carrying a next action and a date
- Underpayments identified rather than closing quietly as paid
- Reporting that names the cause behind each movement
- A baseline captured before work begins, so progress can be verified rather than claimed
“The number we care about at the start is the one we take before we touch anything,” said Rehan. “If there is no baseline, every improvement afterwards is a claim rather than a measurement. We would rather show a practice a smaller change they can verify than a larger one they have to take on trust.”
Two Reimbursement Environments, Handled As Two
Canadian provincial plans operate their own fee schedules, service codes and submission channels. Describing them in United States payer vocabulary produces claims that do not match how they are adjudicated, so coding, submission and follow-up are set to the environment the practice actually bills into.
YTC works inside a client’s existing practice management, electronic health record and clearinghouse systems rather than requiring a platform migration before collections can improve. The service is built for independent practices and mid-size groups, and for multi-specialty groups that would otherwise need a separate vendor per service line.
Three Privacy Frameworks, Named Separately
For United States clients, HIPAA applies and a Business Associate Agreement is executed before any protected health information is handled. For Ontario clients, PHIPA applies, with YTC acting as an agent of the health information custodian. PIPEDA covers personal information handled in Canadian commercial activity. Requirements in other provinces are confirmed per engagement.
YTC Healthcare is a member and certified with the American Medical Billing Association.
