The Revenue Cycle Controls Every Medicaid Agency Needs (Julio Barea)

#77 Most Medicaid billing problems begin long before a claim is submitted, with breakdowns in eligibility, authorization, scheduling, EVV, documentation, payer setup, or coding. Julio Barea, founder of the Home Care Revenue Institute, explains why agencies need to think beyond billing and manage the entire revenue cycle from intake through payment. He walks through the controls behind a clean claim, including how to verify authorized hours, reduce EVV exceptions, and catch problems before they become denials. Julio also shares the daily, weekly, and monthly cadence agencies should follow, along with critical KPIs like denial rate, payment time, EVV acceptance, and scheduled versus authorized hours. He closes with practical ways agency owners can better support their billers and develop them into trained revenue cycle management specialists.
