Start-Up Services
Revenue cycle management (RCM) involves overseeing the financial aspects of your practice, from patient registration to collecting payment. Revenue cycle management consulting can teach you how to manage and improve each step of the process. This can improve your practice’s efficiency, financial health, and patient experience.
How RCM Improves Your Practice
Revenue cycle management streamlines the financial aspects of your practice to help you capture and improve revenue. This helps keep your practice profitable and successful. Improving your RCM can affect the following areas:
Patient Registration
The first step of revenue cycle management is patient scheduling and registration. We can help you implement systems that verify patient information and insurance before they make an appointment. This improves your patient experience with reduced wait times and optimized software systems.
Coding and Billing Optimization
Accurate coding can help maximize reimbursements by minimizing denials. Our consultants at Physician Practice Specialists (PPS) scrutinize your coding practices to make sure they are done correctly and are compliant with industry standards. They can also scrub through claims before submitting them. This helps the billing process to reduce errors and accelerate reimbursement.
Analytics and Reporting
RCM improves your analytics and reporting so you can continually assess the effectiveness of your processes. PPS consultants can automate certain processes using advanced software and analytics. This helps reduce manual errors, streamline processes, and maximize revenue capture. You can also use this data to inform strategic decision-making within your practice.
Benefits of Revenue Cycle Management Consulting
Our consultants customize their approach and strategy based on your practice’s specific needs. By optimizing every aspect of your revenue cycle, you can experience various benefits, including:
Increased Revenue Capture
The main goal of hiring a revenue cycle management consultant is to increase revenue capture. Our consultants use analytics and data to determine where you are losing money. After identifying areas for improvement, they can recommend strategies that increase your profitability while minimizing operational costs.
Technology Integration
Our services include technology integration and automation. This can include advanced software and tools, including electronic health records (EHR) services that create highly accurate claims to reduce the risk of denials. The software can also follow up with the patient to resolve denials quickly and efficiently. You can streamline claims processing, denial management, billing, collections, and more by utilizing advanced technology.
Improved Patient Experience
Integrating these processes and technologies can help improve your patient experience. Timely follow-up on denials can help you resolve billing issues with the patient in a timely manner. Our consultants also prioritize compliance and healthcare regulations to confirm that patient data is handled securely. This shows that you are careful and respectful of your patient’s information, which can help them feel secure working with your practice.
