West Tennessee Healthcare in Jackson expanded its business relationship with MedeAnalytics to include patient access and denials management capabilities.
The nonprofit health system currently uses MedeAnalytics' ICD-10, compliance and revenue cycle management solutions. By adding patient access and denials management tools, West Tennessee Healthcare officials hope to further improve processes and drive efficiencies in revenue cycle across the entire enterprise.
"In the wake of an evolving healthcare landscape, we recognize the need to better position ourselves for the future and have thus adopted a financial strategy to include all aspects of the revenue lifecycle — from patient access to mid-cycle to the business office," Jeff Blankenship, CFO at West Tennessee Healthcare, said in a statement. "We are expanding our partnership with MedeAnalytics to help execute on this strategy because of their expertise and proven results with our organization."
