Docs flock to cloud to save bottom line | Healthcare IT News

6 Sep

Take the time to read this important article.  There is no real choice.  Doctors must upgrade their EMR/EHR, billing procedures and follow-up procedures or face being left behind in the current healthcare market.

Docs flock to cloud to save bottom line | Healthcare IT News.

Outsourcing is critical for a medical or dental practice, or hospital to keep current and make the most of the opportunity they have.  In-house solutions will not keep pace with the changing environment that the medical world faces.

The current reality is:  They must find a cost effective way to motivate insurance companies and, especially, patients to pay them sooner.  I can point you to services that, in most cases, work directly with your software system to help you:

– Cut internal staff time spent on unproductive work

– Cut internal costs associated with insurance and patient account resoution

– speed up your cash flow

– increase your bottom line

– Keep you and your staff in business

Respond to me and I will be happy to explain what tools I can offer you to make this happen in your practice/hospital.  There is no cost or obligation.  Is it worth 20 minutes to find out how to make your practice more profitable?

Your A/R is Leaking!

27 Jun

Accounts Receivable depreciate in value.  Everyone knows that the older an account gets, the harder it is to collect.

What they may not realize is the extent that their money is evaporating from accounts that have not yet been collected.  According to the US Commerce Department study indicated by the graph below, accounts over 90 days depreciate at a rate of .5% every day that they are not collected.

By the time an account reaches 180 days, the threshhold at which most businesses and medical practices throw up their hands and assign the account to a collection agency, 70% of the value of the account will never be recovered by anyone.  They have already spent considerable time and money in chasing the account in-house.  That time and money is gone, as is the collectibility of the account.

depreciation schedule

But, there is a better way.  According to the Dartnell Institute of Business, the average cost of collecting a slow-pay account in-house is $31.60 each.  Using an outsourcing partner to do it not only gets the account collected sooner, before it depreciates, but can generally save the business a majority of their cost to do it as well.  Relationships with customers/patients can be retained, cash flow increased, and staff has more time to do productive things, rather than chasing the patients for money.

I ca show you in a 22 minute A/R strategy session by phone if the tools that I use can help your business.  Respond to me via the form below and we can make an appointment to talk briefly.  Isn’t it worth a 22 minute investment to see how much your cash flow can improve?

Protect Your Office from Embezzlement

20 Jun

Dental office manager sent to prison for embezzlement – DentistryIQ.

Wile we don’t read articles like this one every day, the fact is that practices are being embezzled all the time.  By the time the crime has been identified, it is often too late to recover, and a great deal of money has been lost and the practice hurt terribly.

One of the little-mentioned ways of protecting your office against embezzlement is to use a 3rd party partner to work with your practice A/R.  The earlier you can get a partner involved, the less opportunity there is to hide embezzlement from the office.

Let me show you how to quickly and easily protect your practice from this terrible situation.  It is easier and less costly than you would believe.  Respond to me via the form below and I will call to set up a brief consultation via telephone.  There is no charge, and no obligation.  I’m just glad I can help.

Patient payment responsiblity increases | Healthcare Finance News

Patient Payment Responsibility Increases.

Does this surprise you????

If you have been paying attention these last few years, you already knew this.  It has been steadily going up for a lot of years.  What many doctors and practice administrators don’t know, or aren’t paying attention to, is the result of this increase.

Doctors MUST, perhaps for the first time, figure out how to get patients AND insurance companies to pay them faster.  In many cases, to pay them at all.  To fail to do this quickly is resulting in:

  1. A 10-fold increase in SBA backed loans made to medical practices over the last 10 years.
  2. An unprecedented number of physicians forced to declare bankruptcy, even though they have very busy practices.

This does not have to happen!!  It is foolish and unsustainable.  I can show you, in 22 minutes, how to get more patients paying you, and faster than before as well as speeding up the response time from insurance companies who benefit from dragging their feet before finally sending you a check.  I can show you how to do it for less than you are currently spending to do it the way that you are currently doing it, possibly the reason for the problem after all.

Respond to me via the form at the bottom of this email, requesting a 22 minute A/R strategy session.  It won’t cost you anything and you will know, when we are done, if the tools I recommend will help you put more cash in your accounts than you are currently getting.  Even so, after we are done you are under no obligation to take my advice.

Isn’t it worth a 22 minute phone call?

Top 10 Tips To Improve Collections (Part 2)

7 May

It’s a problem faced by virtually every business and medical practice – how to deal with customers / patients who pay their bill late, or not at all.  While customers and patients expect prompt and professional service, they don’t always meet the same standard when it comes to paying their bill.

Accounts not paid promptly can severely impact the cash flow of a business or practice.  A clearly defined and carefully communicated, yet diplomatic payment policy, may help avoid difficult collections situations.

Tip #2

INVOICE PROMPTLY AND SEND STATEMENTS REGULARLY

If your business/practice doesn’t systematically invoice and bill, start now.  Many times bills aren’t paid simply because the customer/patient hasn’t been billed or reminded in a timely manner.  Monthly statements aren’t enough anymore.  Each customer/patient should be reminded at the least every two weeks.  The lack of accomplishing this often occurs in smaller or newer businesses or practices where there isn’t enough staff to handle the invoicing and billing properly.  If staffing or the cost of regular systematic, frequent follow-up is an issue in your case, help is available to get it done in a economical manner.  With our economy today, there is no replacement for getting this done one way or another.

Contact me if you would like information on ways to get this accomplished in your own situation.  The consultation is free.

To receive each of these 10 tips by email, please follow this blog by entering your email address on the right side of the page.
