In a Down Economy, Tightening and Automating Revenue Cycle Processes Can Significantly Improve Group Practice Financial Performance

Developing the capability to accurately bill patients at the time of service will help prevent losses. It requires auditing, improving and, where possible, automating basic revenue cycle functions.
