Synergy In Healthcare – Pairing Clinics and Vendors<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the overall focus in healthcare continues to stay firmly affixed on cost reduction with simultaneous improvement of quality, many independent clinics continue to be trapped in a quagmire. \u00a0How do they achieve these apparently self-contradictory goals? \u00a0Unlike the behemoth hospitals, what options are there for an already Spartan-like functioning independent clinic?\u00a0 Rather than deal with this seemingly intractable catch-22 situation, many small clinics just give up and let themselves be absorbed by the corporate hospitals\/institutions.<\/p>\n

ONLY 60% MAY REMAIN SOLO<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Independent practice numbers have steadily declined over the years. \u00a0A survey indicates that about 10% of the practices may have already sold out, while 30% may be considering the option seriously.\u00a0 Only 60% are still averse to the thought. \u00a0So, how does one move away from the 30% group to the 60% one?<\/strong> How can one combat market pressures such as reduced reimbursements and escalating technology costs?\u00a0 Not to mention the federal pressures of providing very-high quality healthcare. \u00a0The answer lies in \u201coutsourcing\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n

OUTSOURCING OR \u201cRIGHT-SOURCING\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Although an independent clinic may already be operating with a very streamlined clinical focus, most tend to underestimate or ignore the implications of not streamlining one\u2019s administrative costs.\u00a0 This predominantly involves the analysis, creation, submission of claims and managing denials and finally getting paid.<\/p>\n

It is an empirical fact that in cadence with an appropriate revenue cycle specialist<\/i>, one can make tons of improvement to the medical billing <\/i>and medical coding <\/i>processes, which would have not appeared as conspicuous before the partnership. \u00a0This of course will take care of the dilemma of cost reduction (you outsource and reduce costs)<\/i> while at the same time increasing bottom-lines (by increasing the efficiency of your revenue collection.)\u00a0<\/strong> Also, if your medical billing vendor<\/i> happens to have a pulse on the EHR scene, and offers you a scrumptious EHR deal, no one could be wiser.<\/p>\n

SWIM UPSTREAM:\u00a0 PAIR WITH BILLING PARADISE<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
