Preventing Lab Billing Fraud in Healthcare Facilities with Nice HMS

Lab billing fraud can result in significant revenue loss for healthcare facilities. Nice HMS, an ABDM triple-milestone certified HIMS, addresses this issue by enforcing a secure billing process for lab tests. In Nice HMS, lab tests must be billed before they’re activated and allowed for reporting. Service requests start in a draft state, preventing test results from being processed until an invoice is generated. This system ensures all lab services are accounted for financially, reducing the risk of billing fraud. Nice HMS helps facilities maintain financial accuracy and protects against potential revenue leaks effectively.

No Need for a Separate Counter for ABHA Creation and Patient Registration

This blog highlights the misconception that a separate counter is needed for ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) creation in hospitals. In reality, ABHA and ABDM aim to simplify hospital workflows, not complicate them. With ABHA creation integrated into Nice HMS, the process is streamlined—taking just two clicks to create ABHA and one more for patient registration. ABHA pulls accurate demographic data from Aadhaar, reducing errors and improving record accuracy. This integration enhances efficiency, supports smoother claims processing, and empowers patients with control over their medical data, paving the way for a digitized healthcare future.
