Through its meticulously designed substance use treatment billing software, Millin has become the most popular RCM solution on the market for these substance use services. Millin’s substance use treatment practice management system is specifically optimized not just to streamline the processes of substance abuse billing but also to securely fulfill the needs and prescriptions of patients receiving services.

About Millin and Its Proprietary Substance Use Software

Millin is a New York based company that plays a leading role in revenue cycle management across multiple health and human service industries today. For over 40 years Millin has focused its time, resources, and development into providing billing software and RCM services in behavioral health – with a concentration in substance use and mental health. Supported by its extensive team of revenue cycle management professionals, and industry experts, Millin advocates for a cloud based system in which billing data and responsibilities remain in the hands of experts rather than in the hands of EHR vendors whose primary focus is patient service records. We have an incredibly streamlined workflow built around RCM for substance use providers.

Millin is aware of the importance of medical billing professionals focusing on the areas of mental health and substance abuse – a grossly underrepresented arena in healthcare technology. Across the country, most substance abuse services have moved from a single payor Medicaid environment to a multi-payor system that includes Medicaid, Medicare, MCOs (Managed Care Organizations), and commercial insurances. Each payor comes with a specific list of billing rules and regulations that become increasingly complex over time. Potential issues, such as recoupments of payments, rejections, denials and loss of cashflow pose real problems to substance use clinics if you do not have a system that is constantly on top of the everchanging landscape. Thus, Millin builds the architecture of its revenue cycle management software around the personalized specification of each substance use provider we work with.

The MillinPro software integrates seamlessly with the electronic medical record of your choice allowing for real-time data transfer of locations, demographics, payors, and service information to ensure that the submission of substance use claims is executed as accurately as possible.

Benefits of Contracting with Millin Medical

Millin has provided RCM solutions for substance use providers since 1982. About 15 years ago, we doubled down on our promise to provide the best solution on the market and created our own, homegrown MillinPro billing software. By doubling-down on billing and RCM services, we established ourselves as the experts within the substance use arena in New York. When substance abuse services in NY first transitioned into a multi-payor environment about a decade ago, Millin emerged as the premier vendor in NY, and our software became the go-to solution for providers struggling with the transition.

Today, over 350 agencies utilize our cloud-based MillinPro solution and its specialized rules-based system used for substance use treatment services. Thus, MillinPro is a trusted system that can integrate with over a dozen EMR systems, including Accumedic, eClinicalWorks, and Netsmart. Moreover, a varied set of general ledger systems are compatible with Millin’s substance abuse treatment software. With an easy learning curve and straightforward conversion of client information, MillinPro makes the challenges of RCM and medical record database management less difficult for professional health billers.

Licensing the MillinPro software or outsourcing the process fully can ease the workload on a health agency, promoting higher work efficiency and stabilizing morale and satisfaction. For substance use billers who want to ensure maximized cash flow, Millin’s substance abuse treatment software provides the highest ROI and most efficient workflow in the industry. The company’s billing software, which emphasizes pre-billing scrubbing, eligibility checks, patient demographic checks, issue tracking, and reporting, helps prevent a higher chance of claim rejections and denials caused by human error.

Other benefits of contracting with Millin revolve around the expertise and specialized training that Millin’s staff endures. While many billing and finance departments struggle with staff turnover and failure of bill processing due to human error or lack of industry knowledge, Millin ensures are employees have an extensive training or background in the industry. Onsite account managers, business analysts, programmers, and support teams all possess a background in substance use billing which allows for a well-oiled machine that can focus its day-to-day on getting your claims processed and paid and while aiding you in streamlining the billing process.

Features of Substance Use Treatment Billing Software by Millin

Millin’s innovative substance use treatment billing platform is particularly designed to meet the needs of professional mental and behavioral health billers. A strict rules engine and structured groundwork lay the foundation for the varied features and benefits of the software and billing workflow. As state rules and regulations constantly change, it’s crucial to have a software that has flexibility and can easily adapt to these changes or else the billing can be majorly impacted. Thus, automatic updates and upgrades are made often to ensure that the software is up to date with the most recent changes made in statutory policies related to substance use billing and claim filing. Furthermore, the system needs to be compatible with a payer mix that supports all of its programs.

The substance abuse RCM software is equipped with a user-friendly scheduling system, a customized dashboard that can be adjusted based on the needs of the client, comprehensive reporting systems, issue tracking, denial management tools, and an alert system that notifies the user of claims needing official authorization. Through these features, transparency and open communication allow for Millin and the provider to streamline the billing workflow and create an efficient client-contractor dynamic.

Specific Advantages of Substance Use Billing Software

Substance use professionals and provider agencies can greatly benefit from using billing software specifically related to substance abuse services. Streamlining the billing and automating billing checkpoints, especially in an environment that includes APG calculations, crossovers, self-pay, and eligibility across multiple plans, is crucial to running a financially sound operation. Millin’s substance abuse treatment software specifically increases the configurability of a working environment and allows providers to safely manage the needs of their patients’ billing activity.
 
Another benefit of using RCM software specifically focused on substance use billing is a heightened sense of time management and overall working efficiency. With Millin Medical’s substance abuse revenue cycle management software, staff can easily bill, track and report patient data and overall agency-wide financial data. Consequently, this allows CFOs, Controller, and billing managers to catch trends in billing activity and evaluate which programs, patients, payors, etc are paying the way they are supposed to vs others which may need further intervention for wrongfully denied claims and services.
 
A Practice management software dedicated solely to substance use services not only helps to reduce financial costs and time, but it also affords the value of allowing service providers to truly give patients the medical care and support they need. The ROI most agencies recognize are 10x what the cost of the software is because for the first time, providers are able to get reimbursed properly and fully for all services. This greatly increases cashflow which can keep operations financially healthy and allow facilities to put more time, resources and development into providing services to those in need.

The Integration of EMRs with Billing Systems

Many of our clients use electronic medical records to keep track of patient services. A variety of EMR systems are sometimes used by agencies to track several types of substance use services they provide. Having the ability to integrate MillinPro into your EMR system eliminates the need to worry about whether your EMR system (oftentimes a national vendor) can keep up with State-specific billing changes while also providing you with a robust revenue cycle management solution.

  5. The MillinPro API should be embedded in the EMR. As soon as claims are approved for billing, MillinPro automatically transfers data from your EMR into MillinPro. Most commonly, this will be an ongoing process.
