Manage Insurance Contracts
Kareo helps you manage contracts between your physicians and government payers or commercial insurance companies. You can set up insurance contracts with your standard fee and the insurer's contractual allowed amount for each procedure code. You can also set up the expected response time for both electronic claims and paper insurance claims (e.g. 5 business days). Kareo will alert you to claims that are not paid within the expected response time. Kareo will also show you the expected allowed amount and the expected reimbursement amount when you're posting payments and then flag any overpayments or underpayments for appeal.
