For Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv, what responsibility does the Provider have for claims submitted on their behalf?

According to Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv's 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Provider bears the ultimate responsibility for all claims submitted. This encompasses maintaining all original source documents, which enables the MSO (Management Services Organization) to verify and document the claims submitted to third-party payors.

This responsibility extends to subsequent corrections, adjustments, or repayments of any payment, regardless of the reason or cause. In essence, even if the MSO is involved in preparing and submitting the claims, the Provider remains accountable for the accuracy and validity of the information provided.

Furthermore, the Provider is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of coding associated with claims and for ensuring the medical necessity and appropriateness of the professional services for which a bill will be submitted. Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv's MSO has no liability or responsibility regarding the accuracy or completeness of the coding or determinations regarding medical necessity. The Provider also agrees to promptly provide MSO all copies of all Explanation of Benefits forms received from third-party payors as well as records of payments received directly from patients.

This allocation of responsibility is crucial for prospective franchisees to understand, as it highlights the importance of meticulous record-keeping, accurate coding practices, and diligent oversight of billing processes. Franchisees must ensure they have systems in place to meet these obligations and mitigate potential financial repercussions from claim discrepancies or denials.
