Emergency Departments are a critical setting for care within our communities, and they have to be prepared at all times. Making sure reimbursement is complete and accurate becomes increasing important, especially during a global crisis. In addition to the already heavy burden placed on Emergency Departments, there is a worrisome trend of increased scrutiny of Facility Visit Levels and increasing reimbursement risk. For each patient who enters your Emergency Department and are safely discharged home after treatment, there are vital steps you can take to ensure you are paid appropriately for the care delivered.
It can be virtually impossible to keep up with changing payer requirements, new regulations, and other challenges surrounding Facility Visit Levels. Facility Visit level assignment and charging has risen to the top of the list when evaluating the cost of outpatient care. Consistent and accurate charging in the ED can reduce your risk potential and streamline the path to improved financial reimbursement in the Emergency Department.
Promise of relief can come from technology that can bring innovation and information when and where it’s needed. During this session on Thursday, July 16th at 1 pm ET, Amanda Hofer of Optum will discuss trends shaping Emergency Department reimbursement and how to protect your revenue and reduce your risk.
Learning Objectives:
Learn trends and pressures that have effected reimbursement in the Emergency Department
Discover how applying unique intelligence into your technology can improve efficiency and address the negative forces on reimbursement.

To retain current patients and grow their customer base, it’s time health systems move addressing the customer experience to the top of the priority list. Access, convenience, and cost have long been driving factors in care decisions, but with the rapid adoption of virtual care, we’ve added new channels and touchpoints to the customer experience. If all we do is tack it onto the existing healthcare journey, we’re missing an important inflection point.
