AccuMed KSA, the Kingdom’s largest comprehensive end-to-end revenue cycle management solutions provider, is building on its brand expertise, local presence, and intel to execute a fundamental role in the Kingdom’s healthcare industry progression. Along with partnering with the Ministry of Health, AccuMed KSA worked with the Council of Health Insurance to develop a standardized code set and billing system for private practitioners in line with globally recognized coding systems — a game-changer for the sector. This allows for efficient insurance claims processing and approval on the Saudi Billing System, leading to stellar patient care.
Like other global medical systems, the Kingdom experienced first-hand operational and revenue effects from COVID-19. With Saudi Vision 2030 in mind, the nation’s Ministry of Health saw an opportunity to improve upon its current system from lessons learned during this challenging time.
With the firm’s vast decade-plus expertise in the UAE and wider region, connections to key global organizations have supported this role. These include relationships with American Health Information Management Association for private practitioners’ medical coding and documentation guidelines, Health Information Management Association of Australia, and Australian Classification of Health Interventions for mirrored support in the public space.
The firm is led by Dr. Mohammed Aldar, an industry veteran with a pedigree background in medicine and healthcare business operations for both government and multinational corporations. Dr. Aldar, a Saudi national who has an in-depth knowledge base of the country’s medical practitioners and approach, understood the need for a local, national team to support providers’ specific requirements.
“With approximately 400,000 claims sampled and coded to national standards during the CHI Billing System Project, AccuMed KSA paved the way for the nation’s coding and billing cycle to function on a unified and seamless system. An accomplishment that stands to our management team’s expertise but also a milestone for our operations in the Kingdom,” said Dr. Aldar, who is managing director of AccuMed KSA.
Since opening a local head office in Riyadh, AccuMed KSA has been well-received among the nation’s healthcare providers both in the public and private realms looking for an efficient RCM system to align with the country’s new billing system.
Introductions to improve billing processes through AccuMed’s software and skills training programs customized for local and provider-specific needs, allow for a streamlined approach to optimize billing functionality. This results in provider revenue stream enhancement.
AccuMed KSA’s key clients and partners include the Ministry of Health’s Eastern Health Cluster hospital network, Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare, and Saudi German Hospitals Group, among others.
