The path to payment is more complex than ever—and for county providers, that means that having a strong understanding of payer policies, claim prioritization and opportunities for automation is crucial. By using automation and analytics to drive decision-making, county providers can have confidence in the actions they’re taking to facilitate cash flow and support the mission of the organizations they serve. Even in the midst of uncertainty.
Join Leah Bezanson, Patient Financial Services Manager at Direct Care and Treatment and Erica Gregory, SVP & GM, Revenue Cycle Management at Netsmart, for insights on how automation can help protect collection rates, enhance accuracy and improve data visibility.
Attendees can expect to gain an understanding of:
• Strategies for addressing large volumes of denials, especially as the move to privatized plans may be driving more denials and strenuous adjudication rules
• How to keep pace with the advancement of AI and automation
• Real-world examples of a public sector organization using revenue cycle automation to accelerate cash and strengthen collection rates
• How supervisors and finance leaders can use automation to simplify the reimbursement process and support staff
