September 28, 2022
Financial challenges remain a consistent and growing concern for hospitals. These challenges stem from the global pandemic, like a shifting payer mix and a drop in elective procedures. Others have been here all along – complex medical billing rules, changing regulations, and bad debt, just to name a few – but have suddenly come into sharper focus. In this white paper, learn techniques for overcoming old and new revenue challenges by adopting a different perspective on the traditional claim lifecycle.
Conventional strategies for addressing reimbursement shortfalls are reactive: tracking down missing patient information, correcting claims errors post rejection, chasing delinquent self-pay accounts, and so on. A proactive approach that addresses issues before, during, and after a claim, on the other hand, is more effective in capturing revenue; it saves time and requires less labor.
Hospitals large and small are leveraging these strategies to stop revenue leaks, decrease days in A/R, improve cost-to-collect ratios and improve patient satisfaction.
