Can you answer the following questions? What is your DSO, ARC Ratio and Collection Percentage? What percentage of your AR is in the 90+ category? What is your denial management process? What is your refund identification and management process? How do all the team members affect your Revenue Cycle?
If you can’t answer these questions with confidence, this is the course for you! We will provide you with the tools to learn how to evaluate the revenue cycle process and provide ideas for improving the process. Whether you own your own practice or are a Department Director in a large company, understanding the Revenue Cycle, how to evaluate the metrics and areas for improvement are key management skills that all Therapy owners and managers need. This is not a skill that is taught in Therapy school, and unless you have managed the Revenue Cycle team, you may be unaware of how the process works in its entirety. We will peak behind the curtain and decipher the RCM process and provide you with strategies to improve your performance.
At the completion of this webinar, the participant will be able to:
- Articulate the 3-key metrics for assessing billing performance in therapy practice.
- Identify 5 daily processes for improving collections in outpatient therapy.
- Develop a plan for ongoing metric evaluation of the revenue cycle.
- Articulate each team member’s responsibility for a healthy revenue cycle.
