How It Works: The APEX Navigator

Your Personalized Launchpad to RCM Excellence

The APEX Navigator is more than onboarding—it’s a transformation. Our engaging, personalized process sets the foundation for long-term revenue cycle success by aligning your practice’s workflows with proven, IONM-specific strategies:

  1. Discovery & Mini Audit

    We begin with a strategic alignment session to understand your current state, challenges, and goals. This includes a mini audit of your existing claims, documentation, and financial performance indicators.

  2. Contract & Onboarding Process

    Once agreements are finalized, we initiate access to your practice’s systems (like USMON*), confirm all required data integrations, and assign a dedicated onboarding specialist to guide the transition.

  3. Custom SOP Design

    We co-develop standard operating procedures tailored to your team, systems, and case types—including workflows for claims, coding, A/R, and appeals.

  4. Claim Submissions & Appeals

    From Day 1, your claims are optimized for first-pass success. Denials are met with strategic, bespoke appeals—not templates—and integrated arbitration readiness.

  5. Data-Driven Optimization

    As we begin managing your account, we input performance data into USMON* and integrate insights into our workflows. Within 3–4 months, you’ll receive customized reporting that gives you full transparency into KPIs like clean claim rate, denial overturns, and AR aging.

 

*Disclaimer: While APEX completes Navigator onboarding within 7 days for practices using USMON, timelines may vary slightly for other systems.
