The Healthcare Administrative Simplification Coalition, a public/private partnership of organizations committed to reducing the administrative costs and complexity of health care, this week announced its support for PATIENT FRIENDLY BILLING®, an initiative spearheaded by HFMA in partnership with the American Hospital Association, the Medical Group Management Association, and other leading provider, consulting, and technology organizations. HFMA is also a member of HASC.
“The healthcare industry should strive to make patient financial communications clear, concise, correct, and patient-friendly,” said an HASC statement. “The needs of patients and their family members should be paramount when designing administrative processes and communications.”
