To maximize reimbursement rates, healthcare providers must take control and optimize three particular areas: estimates, claims, and collections.

Better manage patient collections by finding the patients who can and will pay. Avoid wasting time and other resources on low-yield accounts.

Recent industry shifts, including the transition from volume- to value- based reimbursement, lower reimbursement and shrinking inpatient margins, increased bad debt due to high deductible health plans and other challenges, are causing undue stress for healthcare providers. It’s difficult for some organizations to manage complex reimbursement models or handle complex claims, so providers are often underpaid or write off revenue they are due. The cost to collect continues to rise when staff produces poor results or turnover is high. Additionally, hospital information system (HIS) conversions traditionally result in a backlog of accounts receivable (A/R), requiring incremental staff to support the conversion. 78% of CFOs are concerned about their revenue cycle platform capabilities for value-based payments and will outsource in lieu of investing in new technology.^ Experian Health's Revenue Cycle Services leverage Experian’s proprietary technologies and experienced staff to optimize revenue cycle management (RCM) performance to help you meet your financial goals, such as increasing A/R yield, lowering operating costs, and resolution of revenue leakage issues and denials.

Reimbursement pressures and the real potential of changing regulations require that revenue cycle leaders leverage data and technology to be as efficient and nimble as possible to maximize net revenue, reduce denials, and lower operating costs. Shifting reimbursement models, complex benefit designs and limitations, increased patient responsibility, and growing regulatory pressures are driving near-constant change in the healthcare revenue cycle. Healthcare organizations that used to be paid by the encounter are adapting to emerging trends of also being selected, measured, and paid for how they perform and collaborate with other providers to improve outcomes. This value versus volume movement has forced hospitals, physicians, and other providers to focus on delivering high-quality, collaborative care at a lower cost while enhancing the patient experience, including efficiency and patient sensitivity in the revenue cycle.
