This is very disturbing!!

12% of U.S. clinicians, care delivery leaders and healthcare executives do not believe their organization's financial health will ever recover to pre-pandemic levels. 

54% of respondents said their organization's financial health is somewhat or significantly worse than before COVID-19, despite rebounding patient volumes.

A fundamental challenge in the healthcare system at large is that the reimbursement mechanisms, which come from the payers, are not keeping up with the cost of healthcare along with millions in underpayments from insurers.

Now, if a hospital or medical center has a minimum $2M annual in payer revenue with their top 3 payers, a new underpayment recovery platform is available with a typical result of 10%-20% of gross payer receipts in recovery.

The owner/president of the platform is ready to have a conversation with you to explain the process and answer any questions you may have.

Hospital closures affect both physicians and their patients.

Depending on the local market and the specialty, the physician may have to uproot their family and move to an entirely different area. Patients may lose their physicians and/or access to medical care, especially in underserved/rural areas.

The Cost of Unclaimed Underpayments: Why Hospitals Fail to Recover Funds Owed by Insurers.

There are a few reasons why hospitals may not pursue underpayments by insurers:

- Administrative Burden - The process of appealing denied claims and pursuing underpayments can be very time-consuming and require a lot of administrative work. Small underpayments may not be worth the effort for hospitals.

- Power Imbalance - Insurers tend to have more power in negotiations than individual hospitals. Hospitals may be hesitant to challenge large insurers out of fear of retaliation or being excluded from provider networks.

- Contractual Obligations - Hospital contracts with insurers often have clauses requiring disputes to be handled through specified appeals processes. Hospitals may be limited in what they can pursue outside of those processes.

- Inconsistent Rules - Billing and reimbursement rules are complex and inconsistent across insurers. Hospitals may lack confidence that underpayments are clearly valid or provable. 

- Financial Resources - Legal action to pursue underpayments can be expensive. Some hospitals may lack the financial resources for prolonged legal battles over small claim amounts.

- Maintaining Relationships - Hospitals have an incentive to maintain positive long-term relationships with major insurers in their regions. They may tolerate some underpayments to avoid jeopardizing those relationships through legal action.

In summary, while underpayment by insurers is an issue, hospitals have to weigh the costs, risks and benefits before deciding to pursue action on any specific claims. The system creates some disincentives for hospitals to aggressively go after underpayments.

Now there is a platform that over 1000 hospitals & medical centers have used for underpayment recovery that is a risk-free addition to their Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) efforts. Their forensic audit is performed on remittances AFTER all other RCM efforts have been completed including other internal or external underpayment recovery efforts. They only engage remittance files that clients expect no further revenues from. 

The typical result is 10%-20% of gross payer receipts in recovery with the only stipulation that they have minimum $2M annual in payer revenue with their top 3 payers.

Here are some common problems that can occur in hospital revenue cycle management.

 They can include the following:

• Inaccurate coding and billing - If medical codes are incorrect or incomplete, it can lead to denied claims and loss of revenue. Having properly trained coders is essential.
• Long collection times - Slow or inefficient collection of patient payments from insurance companies and patients themselves can tie up funds and hurt cash flow. Average collection times should be closely monitored.
• High denial rates - Denials from insurance companies for various reasons like improper coding, incomplete documentation, lack of pre-authorizations, etc. Denials must be quickly addressed and appealed if necessary.
• Patient registration errors - Inaccurate patient information entered at registration can cause claims to be rejected or sent to the wrong payer. Data entry should be validated.
• Poor charge capture - Failure to record all billable items and services provided during patient care leads to lost revenue. Audits help ensure full charging.
• Lack of pricing transparency - Patients may be unclear on what they will end up owing, especially if they are uninsured or policies have high deductibles/copays. Financial counselors can help provide estimates.
• Failure to verify insurance eligibility - Not checking a patient's active coverage status can mean more claims get denied. Eligibility should be confirmed prior to non-emergency services.
• High accounts receivable days - Letting accounts receivable stretch over 60-90 days can negatively impact cash flow. Close monitoring and follow-up on unpaid claims is essential.

The key is having a well-designed audit system that analyzes every remittance received in a 12-to-24-month period to determine contractual compliance of each reimbursement. 

These case studies demostrate the difference it can make to the bottomline.

Setup a call with the president/owner of our company to review your situation.

Hospitals' bottom lines swell after help.

Revenue cycle management has traditionally focused on managing claims and payments after care has been provided. But as payer requirements become more complex, margins tighten and this approach is no longer sufficient. 

Organizations that continue to rely on reactive, legacy RCM processes pay a significant price in foregone revenue.

Look what these four have recouped after a direct call to our president/owner!!

No upfront fees and all recovered revenue goes directly into their accounts!

I will set the call for you right away.
