Medical Insurance Information System
Medical Insurance Information System
Incentives for employees? Reward them for doing their job?
I run a medical office. My problems are getting my front desk staff to collect correct insurance information and/or correctly enter this information into our billing system. This is not being done every time, which causes my billing department to work harder (which costs money). Some patients with HMOs are assigned to physicians who are not in our group, my staff prints the information (showing the incorrect physician) and lets the patient be seen resulting in us seeing the patient for free. Some of you will tell me to fire my staff and replace them. My staff works well most of the time, but I am looking for a way to correct this problem without giving people days off without pay.
What about an incentive program? Should I reward them for doing their job? Should I have a point system – every time it is done correctly, you get a point, — every time it is done wrong you lose a point? What would be the reward at the end?
Is it better motivation to reward or discipline?
No incentive is necessary. But employees need to know the results of their actions.
Better motivation to reward then discipline> Your employees are not children.
Do you have regular staff meetings? It would be great to have one and get people to clear the air. Start off by telling them how important they are, what a great job they do. Here are a few tips and I have included a site that you can get more information.
* If your employees do routine work add some fun and variety to their routine.
* Provide employees with input and choice in how they do their work.
* Encourage responsibility and leadership opportunities within your company.
* Promote social interaction and teamwork between employees.
* Tolerate learning errors by avoiding harsh criticism.
* Promote job ownership.
* Develop goals and challenges for all employees.
* Provide lots of encouragement.
* Make appreciation part of your repertoire.
* Develop measurement that shows performance increase.
