Revenue Cycle Management

The financial success of all health care providers hinges on the ability to maximize efficiencies and accuracy in providing access to care, delivering care, and the related business functions that involve billing and collecting revenue for those services. Our professionals can help your organization preserve revenue and maximize cash flow.  We understand how each stage of the revenue cycle can be optimized to improve your organization’s bottom line.

Revenue Cycle Planning

Healthcare Reform has been and will continue to drive more change to provider organizations than ever before.  Proactive leaders who adapt business processes and implement key technologies can position their organizations to take advantage of change and gain strategic advantages.  However the pace of change is accelerating.  Do you think your organization is prepared?  Are you using legacy revenue cycle systems that lack features you need?  Is keeping up with new regulatory mandates difficult?  Are claims being denied because of errors in scheduling and registration?  Do you need help understanding how new solutions can address the requirements of new business models such as Accountable Care, Pay for Performance and Patient Centered Medical Homes?  If so, it is time to take action.  JCS can help you prepare a revenue cycle strategic plan and roadmap to put your organization on the path to success.  This plan will:
