While all sectors of healthcare are experiencing the financial and operational burdens of the ongoing workforce shortage and rising healthcare costs, these burdens are perhaps felt most acutely in the behavioral health sector. But behavioral health is also the sector poised for innovation, and health systems and the patients they serve thrive when virtual and automated care enhances their behavioral healthcare experience.
In this ebook, we share six ways virtual and automated care can help your health system deliver better behavioral healthcare while also saving on avoidable costs by:
Reducing emergency department boarding
Avoiding preventable readmissions
Improving the efficacy of mental health evaluations
For Americans, inflation and high deductibles mean patients are getting bigger bills, which causes both surprise and confusion. Often, patients don’t understand why they owe so much, or they aren’t able to meet their financial responsibility even if they do.
Obviously, this is difficult for patients — but it’s also debilitating for healthcare organizations. When patient collections are down, providers face bad debt, poor patient retention, and decreased satisfaction for patients and staff. So, what’s the answer?
It’s time to create a better patient collections experience. Providers who take action now can change a potentially bleak future simply by rethinking patient collections. By evolving your process and offering consumer-friendly experiences, you can empower your patients to manage their health — and their bills — with less stress and surprise.
What’s inside:
The current state of patient collections, from deductibles to denials
Why transparency is key to patient satisfaction + compliance
Using automation + data to improve patient collections
