Enhancing Cash Collection and Account Resolution : Processes to Reveal Untapped Recovery Opportunities and Emerging Trends
As hospitals face shrinking margins, payers are seeing their financial performance strengthen. More often hospitals feel they’re not getting what they are owed from payers and often left to bear the burden themselves. Whether in need of cleaner claims submission to reduce denials, deeper payer payment and process understanding, or patient-centric self-pay avenues, this translates to big losses as a large percentage of money is not recouped. It is critical therefore for providers to create strategies that will influence change and ultimately promote more favorable outcomes.
