You can have it all: Loyal patients and self-pay reimbursement
Collecting patient self-pay and keeping patients loyal don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, since many people now weigh affordability and convenience equally with quality care outcomes, successful health systems are those that differentiate by appealing to patients as retail consumers. Hear best practices from CentraCare Health in Minnesota, Maine General Health and UPMC Pinnacle in Pennsylvania that keep patients returning to their health system while contributing to bottom line performance.
Consolidated Patient Billing: Explore innovative ways to drive increased collections
Implementing single-statement billing can be a daunting task for providers. Given the range of options, decisions and changes that must take place, combined with the operational work flow, providers need guidance and support to help them launch consolidated statements within their organizations.
With the right approach and strategic outlook, consolidated statements can be a win-win for both providers and patients. Patients benefit from simple billing - everything's all in one place with one check to write and one-stop shopping for customer service. Providers also benefit from cost savings achieved through economies of scale and staffing efficiencies associated with reduced mailings.
This webinar will help providers develop their own 4-step readiness plan and best practices to transition to single-statement billing with the goals of achieving positive outcomes for patients, and deploying a successful deployment that is operationally and financially sound.
