Mr. Watson shared the following tip with Becker’s Hospital Review.

“To reduce the downward pressure faced by medical practices it is important to automate the complex and time-consuming AR management process. It reduces the costs involved in receivable processing and provides a wealth of AR data that serves as a continual feedback loop.

“Automating the AR process leads to a repetitive process that can be easily monitored as opposed to fragmented bits of AR information that are scattered across the organization. It also leads to quicker AR cycles.”
