Revenue cycle advisory

Revenue Cycle Management in Indore

We set up pre-authorisation, discharge summary and claim file standards for TPA and scheme patients, track queries and deductions by payer, and train the billing desk to close files on time. For hospitals moving from mostly cash to mostly cashless admissions, this is usually where cash flow is won or lost.

The rules of the ground

Who regulates and pays in Indore

Indore's payer mix is changing quickly. Cash still matters, especially for day-care and diagnostics, but a growing share of admissions now comes through private insurers and TPAs, the corporate policies of employers in and around the city, and Ayushman Bharat Niramayam for eligible families. ECHS panels also matter for some hospitals. Each channel pays different rates on different timelines, so an Indore hospital needs to choose its empanelments deliberately and track pending claims by payer rather than as one total.

CMHO Indore (Chief Medical and Health Officer)

Registers and inspects private nursing homes and clinical establishments in Indore district under the Madhya Pradesh Upcharyagriha Tatha Rujopchar Sambandhi Sthapnaye (Registrikaran Tatha Anugyapan) Adhiniyam, 1973 and its rules.

MPMC (Madhya Pradesh Medical Council)

Maintains the state register of medical practitioners within the National Medical Commission framework; we check registration status for every doctor before they join the roster.

MPPCB (Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board)

Grants authorisation under the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, and expects segregation, storage and disposal records to match what the facility was authorised for.

Ayushman Bharat Niramayam (State Health Agency, MP)

Implements Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY in Madhya Pradesh, empanels private hospitals by specialty and processes pre-authorisations and claims for eligible beneficiaries.

Scope

What we deliver in Indore

01

End-to-end RCM audit

A sample-based review of encounters from registration to remittance, identifying where claims fail, what the root causes are and how much value sits in unworked rejections and underpayments.

02

Front-end eligibility and prior authorisation

Registration scripts, eligibility checks and prior authorisation workflows redesigned so coverage, benefits and approvals are confirmed before treatment, not discovered after the claim is rejected.

03

Clinical documentation and coding review

Coding accuracy reviewed against ICD-10-CM and CPT in the UAE, or ICD-10-AM and the Saudi Billing System in KSA, with documentation feedback for doctors and targeted coder training.

04

E-claims submission and scrubbing rules

Claim validation rules configured and tested for eClaimLink and DHPO, Shafafiya or NPHIES, so formatting, code pairing and mandatory field errors are caught before the claim leaves your system.

05

Denial management and resubmission

A categorised denial log, root-cause analysis by payer and reason, resubmission templates and a daily work queue, so every rejection is either recovered or consciously written off within the payer's deadline.

06

Contract loading and remittance reconciliation

Payer price lists and contract terms loaded accurately into your HIS, and remittance advices reconciled line by line, so underpayments are identified and disputed rather than silently absorbed.

Process

How the work runs

  1. Baseline

    We extract claims, rejection and remittance data by payer and establish your current rejection patterns, ageing profile and cash conversion before recommending anything.

  2. Root-cause analysis

    Every major rejection category is traced back to its true source: registration, authorisation, clinical documentation, coding, system configuration or contract loading.

  3. Fix the process

    Workflows, system rules, templates and training are corrected at the source, starting with the causes that account for the largest share of lost revenue.

  4. Recover the backlog

    In parallel, recoverable rejections and underpayments still inside payer resubmission windows are worked in priority order, so the project starts paying back early.

  5. Monitor and hand over

    A weekly RCM dashboard and review routine are handed to your team, with optional ongoing oversight of an in-house or outsourced billing function.

Frequently asked questions

What do hospital consultants in Indore help with?
New hospital and clinic projects, registration under the Madhya Pradesh nursing home law, NABH preparation, TPA and Ayushman Bharat Niramayam empanelment, and revenue cycle setup. For hospitals already operating, we also handle operations reviews and claims performance. Our team works from our own office in the city.
Who registers a private hospital or clinic in Indore?
Private nursing homes and clinical establishments in Indore district are registered through the office of the Chief Medical and Health Officer under the Madhya Pradesh nursing home and clinical establishment Act of 1973. The facility also needs MPPCB bio-medical waste authorisation, a fire NOC and any imaging or ultrasound approvals. We prepare the files; the authorities decide.
How can an Indore hospital join Ayushman Bharat Niramayam?
The hospital applies for empanelment through the scheme's process, and the State Health Agency assesses its infrastructure, staffing and specialties against the published criteria. We help confirm eligibility, prepare the application and documents, and set up the pre-authorisation and claims routine the scheme expects once the hospital is empanelled.
Where is Tulazai Health's Indore office?
Our India operations office is at 11 Avenue Tulsi Nagar, near Nipania Road, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452001. We meet clients at the office or at their site, across Indore and the surrounding districts.
What does revenue cycle management include for a GCC clinic or hospital?
Revenue cycle management covers every step that turns a patient visit into collected cash: registration, eligibility checks, prior authorisation, clinical documentation, coding, e-claim submission, rejection handling, resubmission, remittance reconciliation and payer follow-up. In the GCC these steps run through regulated platforms such as eClaimLink and DHPO, Shafafiya and NPHIES, so both process discipline and platform knowledge matter.
Do you handle NPHIES and Saudi Billing System coding in KSA?
Yes. For providers in Saudi Arabia we review NPHIES workflows for eligibility, prior authorisation and claims, and check coding against ICD-10-AM and the Saudi Billing System coding standards set by CHI. We also help map internal service codes to the standard code sets that NPHIES transactions require, which is often where new or growing providers lose revenue.
