COVID-19 has ripped through healthcare revenue cycles.
The pandemic itself could cost hospitals $200 billion over a four-month period.
With postponement of electives hitting the bottom line, people falling off payroll, and provider cashflow taking a hit, the post-pandemic world for healthcare will be challenging. Optimizing patient collections is key to preventing revenue from slipping through the cracks.
In this comprehensive eBook, we provide your recession-ready collections checklist, exploring four ways healthcare providers can increase patient collections and guard against recession:
A compassionate billing approach: offering personalized communications and payment options
Automated coverage discovery: find missing and forgotten coverage so claims are accurate the first time
A collections strategy that includes credit data: offers actionable insights about a patient's propensity to pay
Get patients on the right plan and check for charity care ASAP: identify patients who need extra support and connect them with the right financial assistance program
Let’s look at how healthcare providers can optimize patient collections and build a resilient revenue cycle, whatever the future holds.

Chances are you’ve had more than a few patients go to your health systems’ website to find a new provider or specialist, call to make an appointment only to find out that the practice doesn’t accept their insurance, isn’t accepting new patients, or that the physician they wanted to see recently left the practice.
It’s frustrating not only for patients who are denied care but also for the health system, that needs to deal with canceled appointments and with disappointed patients. Accurate provider directory information enhances your efficiency and cash flow and helps patients find the right providers.

Inaccurate provider directories create significant financial risks for payers, hurt clinician and consumer satisfaction, and waste time for everyone. Now you can eliminate these problems, once and for all.

Price transparency is becoming increasingly more important as we usher in the new era of healthcare consumerism.
As members seek higher quality affordable care, many provider offices that have yet to embrace a price transparency policy may lose current or potential new patients. Cost-of-treatment conversations are often hampered, not for competitive or proprietary reasons, but because the provider’s office lacks the capacity to reflect the member’s specific benefits and plan negotiated price discounts. But when it comes to understanding what patients owe, providers can no longer afford to be uninformed.
