COMPANY OVERVIEW
FrontRunnerHC helps independent labs and healthcare facilities ensure accurate, efficient, and cost-effective reimbursements for all the accessions and services they want to perform by providing reliable and complete patient demographic, insurance, and financial information. Our automated portfolio of software features unparalleled Benefits Investigation capabilities, is interoperable with patient records and billing systems, and is supported by a team of billing and insurance experts.
Many organizations struggle to maximize their reimbursements in today’s environment. Three key factors adding to the challenge are inaccurate patient data, the complexity of the insurance industry, and patients’ increasing out-of-pocket costs. While organizations make heroic efforts to keep up, many find themselves with an inefficient system, unable to capture accurate patient demographic, insurance, and financial information critical for accurate, timely, and patient-centric billing. The result is often forfeited revenue, wasted staff time and resource constraints, unnecessary costs of rework, and negative billing experiences for patients and their referring physicians.
FrontRunnerHC finds, verifies, and fixes patient information errors as early as possible in the cycle to help tackle the challenges that can impact their financial stability or growth. Our solutions can be leveraged at the front-end on order entry and before the bill is sent, or at the back-end (e.g. AR cleanup). FrontRunnerHC is committed to continual innovation and collaboration with our clients, helping them address the constantly-changing patient billing and collections environment. We are proud to help fuel their ability to provide critical services by improving their financial performance, staff productivity, and patient billing experiences.

COVID-Assist:
COVID-Assist helps hospital and independent labs accelerate and automate COVID test reimbursements, reduce the claims processing burden, and remain compliant with the CARES Act. Our solution automates the process of gathering patient data, verifying insurance coverage of self-pay status, and capturing HRSA Member IDs. It then provides uploads that are fully audited and compliant patient files to your billing system to submit to insurance carriers or HRSA. By automating the process, we can help organizations scale up to 100,000 tests daily without impacting their staffing levels as it pertains to patient information.

Accounts Receivable (AR) Evaluation and Clean-up:
Don’t forfeit revenue you’re entitled to collect. Convert your unpaid AR to cash. We’ll run your batch of claims through our automated suite of revenue cycle software with unmatched benefits investigation capabilities, and our dedicated insurance specialists will also manually search for missing information on your behalf. In 24 hours after our initial set-up (which typically takes less than a week), we will repackage and return your cleaned data, conveniently segmented by opportunity and in ready-to-action files so you can send accurate bills to your patients or insurance companies. And the service is risk free as you’ll pay only for what you can bill.
