Mr. Schildmeyer shared the following tip with Becker’s Hospital Review: “Medical practices face continued operational, financial and regulatory challenges, requiring sound revenue cycle management to maintain — and ideally improve — patient satisfaction, cash flow and overall business performance. The process of managing your clinic’s RCM starts before the patient visit and ends when there is a zero-balance owed to the physician. As simple as this sounds, every physician knows from experience what complications and stress the collections process can have on your time and resources. This is only further intensified with the new MACRA and MIPS.
“Fortunately, with today’s advanced technology, there are platforms available to not only help keep physician’s practices on track for success, but also improve overall patient care.”
