eClinicalWorks (eCW) Billing Services

eClinicalWorks, often called eCW, offers billing technology and optional revenue cycle services. The useful starting point is your actual setup: which tasks are automated, which are already covered, and which still need a person to resolve them. Synergy helps practices define and work that billing scope.

Discuss your eClinicalWorks billing

Find the gap between the visit and the claim

Compare completed appointments with documented services, charges and claims for the same period. A missing claim can have several causes: incomplete information, a charge awaiting review, a workflow rule or a transmission problem. The reason must be checked in your configuration.

Do not assume every unbilled visit has the same cause or that one note status explains every case. Keep clinical documentation with the responsible clinician and give each billing exception an owner. See charge entry support.

Separate claim submission from payment follow-up

Automation can help scrub, submit and route claims. The follow-up still needs to establish whether a claim was accepted, rejected, adjudicated or left without a response. Review the payer or clearinghouse evidence before resubmitting, correcting or appealing.

Prioritize agreed work by the reason, age, amount and applicable deadline. A documented next action is more useful than repeatedly reviewing the same balance. Our denial management and A/R follow-up pages describe these services.

Check ERA posting against the underlying remittance

Compare the payment, adjustment and patient-responsibility entries with the remittance and deposit information. Unapplied amounts, reversals, recoupments or a posting-date difference can explain why reports disagree. A tidy ledger or an automated posting step alone does not establish that every denial was resolved.

Reconcile differences before writing off a balance or pursuing the patient. Read about ERA posting and reconciliation and A/R aging reports.

Keep the handover visible to your practice

Agree which old balances and current claims Synergy will work, which tasks remain with your staff or existing service, and how progress will be reported. Establish named accounts with appropriate permissions and the required agreements before detailed access.

Start with a problem and a measurable baseline: unworked claims, unresolved posting differences or incomplete charge capture. Compare the scope with our billing service options before making a change.

What to agree before eClinicalWorks billing work starts

Use these review points to define a full billing engagement or a selected task with Synergy. The available access, source data and agreed scope determine the final review.

• Trace the charge handoff. Choose a period and compare the relevant encounter, charge and claim records available to your team. Agree who resolves missing information, held charges and rejected claims before adding more follow-up work.
• Separate posting from collection work. Identify remittance or posting exceptions separately from unpaid claims. Give each exception one owner so the practice, its current biller and Synergy do not duplicate corrections or payer contacts.
• Keep the comparison consistent. Agree the source reports, aging definition, as-of date and next review date. Review old balances separately from new billing, with actions taken and items still awaiting the practice or payer.
