Revenue cycle advisory
Revenue Cycle Management in Qatar
We build the revenue cycle for a market where most claims go to private insurers and administrators with their own rules. That means eligibility checks at registration, pre-authorisation discipline, coding and documentation standards, submission routines and a denial management loop that feeds lessons back to front desk and clinicians.
The rules of the ground
Who regulates and pays in Qatar
Law No. 22 of 2021 made health insurance mandatory for expatriates and visitors, with basic cover tied to entry and residence permits and employers responsible for insuring their non-Qatari staff. For private providers this means most patients arrive with a policy from a licensed insurer, often administered through a third-party administrator. Getting onto the right networks, agreeing price lists that reflect your case mix, and building clean pre-authorisation and claims habits are what turn that insured volume into dependable revenue.
Licenses and inspects private healthcare facilities, sets clinical and operational standards, and supervises the mandatory health insurance system for expatriates and visitors.
The MOPH department, formerly known as QCHP, that registers and licenses doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals in the public and private sectors.
The main public provider of secondary and tertiary care, and an important reference point for referral pathways, specialist capacity and service gaps private operators can fill.
Runs the public primary care network, which shapes where private primary care, family medicine and diagnostics can compete on access and convenience.
Scope
What we deliver in Qatar
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.
