Revenue cycle advisory
Revenue Cycle Management in Dammam
High-volume corporate work needs disciplined billing. We set up eligibility checks, approval workflows and coding for NPHIES, separate corporate direct-billing from insured claims and build reconciliation so both streams are collected on time. Monthly reports by payer and corporate client show where cash is delayed and why.
The rules of the ground
Who regulates and pays in Dammam
Insured employees of energy, petrochemical, manufacturing and contracting companies form a large part of private demand in Dammam. Some large employers operate or fund dedicated healthcare arrangements, while contractors typically rely on insurer networks under the CHI mandatory policy. National insurers compete for these corporate accounts, which gives well-positioned providers leverage in network negotiations. All insured activity, including approvals and claims, runs through NPHIES.
Licenses and inspects private facilities across the Eastern Province through the Seha platform, including occupational health and outpatient centres.
Operates the public hospitals and primary care centres of the region and is among the clusters transferring to Health Holding.
Regulates the mandatory policy covering the region's large industrial and contractor workforce, and the NPHIES claims rules providers must follow.
Classifies and registers every clinician, a key constraint where occupational health and industrial medicine specialists are in demand.
Scope
What we deliver in Dammam
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.
