Revenue cycle advisory
Revenue Cycle Management in Mumbai
We tighten the cashless process from admission to settlement: eligibility, pre-authorisation and enhancements, discharge documentation, submission, query replies and deduction tracking by payer. In a TPA-heavy city, small documentation gaps turn into large write-offs, so we train the desk and review denials weekly.
The rules of the ground
Who regulates and pays in Mumbai
Mumbai has one of the largest insured populations in India, and a large share of private hospital admissions are cashless through insurers and TPAs, with corporate group policies and retail cover both significant. Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana, run together with Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY in Maharashtra, covers eligible families at empanelled hospitals, and CGHS and ECHS panels matter for some providers. With high fixed costs, a Mumbai hospital cannot afford tariffs that do not cover its services, so each empanelment is judged on its terms as well as its volume.
Registers and inspects nursing homes and hospitals within municipal limits under the Bombay Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1949 and the Maharashtra rules made under it, including renewals.
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.
Grants authorisation under the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, and expects waste handling records to match what the facility was authorised for.
Many insurers and TPAs are headquartered in Mumbai. They set network entry, package tariffs and cashless rules for most privately insured patients in the city.
Scope
What we deliver in Mumbai
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Baseline
We extract claims, rejection and remittance data by payer and establish your current rejection patterns, ageing profile and cash conversion before recommending anything.
Root-cause analysis
Every major rejection category is traced back to its true source: registration, authorisation, clinical documentation, coding, system configuration or contract loading.
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.
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.
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.
