Outsourcing RCM Doesn’t Mean You’ll Lose Control

February 13, 2019

Why is it incorrect to feel that outsourcing RCM and your billings/collections will lead to a loss of control?

Healthcare organizations know they need to improve their billings and collections processes, but often lack the expertise, resources and guidance to successfully do so internally. The continually growing complexity in the revenue/billing cycle process has increased the cost of collections. Changes in charging, coding, and billing have made it more and more difficult to get timely, accurate payments and compliant billing.

Outsourcing RCM and your billings/collections services helps to provide the necessary expertise, resources, and guidance. So many organizations lack these assets, which hampers their efforts to achieve their business goals and control cash flows. The point of managing your revenue/billing cycle isn’t just to improve revenue and cash flow, but to do them effectively by consistently following the best industry practices.

Other benefits realized by providers that utilize billing services include the following:

• Reduce staff turnover and costs of hiring and training new employees
• Save time and eliminate errors through the use of technology
• Standardize operating expenses
