What to look for in a RCM Revenue Cycle Management partner or provider?
February 1, 2018
The hospital sector has a very large infrastructure that is required to be able to maintain every aspect of the hospitals organization. This is precisely why hospitals have gradually started to outsource various sectors to other companies who are solely focused on providing these specialized services.
The first issue that the hospitals faced was maintaining the hospitality aspect, so they outsourced it to other organizations, and since the service has been outsourced effectively for so long it has now set trends and patterns with minor or minimal to no internal glitches.
Same is the case with staffing. Staffing has been and is to date one of the major issues faced by hospitals. Either the hospitals fail to hire the right match for the job or the turnover is quite high, and this becomes detrimental as a lot of money is spent in training the employees and if the employee leaves, the hospital suffers a complete loss.
Revenue cycle management is the current aspect that is under discussion to be outsourced or is now being outsourced on an experimental basis in some cases or as a permanent outsourced feature in some instances. There are many aspects of the revenue cycle management, and they all need to work in a synchronized way so that the leaks in the system are managed. The first concern of the hospitals was the restructuring or implementation of a whole new revenue cycle management system. However, its feasibility for many healthcare institutes was not possible, as it required a lot of investment in staffing and other internal requirements. Then came the option to outsource this process which felt like the next most suitable option that could be opted for.
There are many companies that deal with the revenue management aspect of the hospital industry, and the numbers are growing day by day. These companies do not only deal with the technological aspect but they also ensure that the proper type of staffing is provided.
Currently, the industry related to revenue cycle management outsourcing is very effervescent with loads of changes and advancements occurring on a daily basis. Therefore, there is a lot of investment required in training and retraining the employees to ensure that they are up to speed with all the advances and capable of dealing efficiently with the customers.
The focus of the revenue management is to ensure automation in the following sectors:
- Billing according to the services used
- Management of the claims
- Verification of insurance eligibility
- Analysis of predictive payments
