How CFOs Benefit
CFOs at healthcare organizations nationwide understand the significant financial pitfalls of not starting the revenue cycle soon enough. Especially with the advent of consumer-driven health plans, the Access Management process—medical necessity checking, authorization and referral management and eligibility verification—must begin long before the patient arrives to assure complete, prompt reimbursement including the self-pay portion.
How do you start the revenue cycle earlier in the Access Management process to make sure you have the cashflow that keeps your hospital healthy? At the same time, how do you do it cost effectively, with positive impact on the patient experience? For answers to these and other important questions, CFOs like you are increasingly turning to SCI Solutions.
