Optimize and collect the revenue you’ve earned, proactively protect yourself from post-payment audits, and maximize your bottom line.

Revenue cycle management (“RCM”) sounds simple enough but ultimately affects nearly all aspects of your organization’s operations, from the requests for an appointment down to the collection of the revenue for services and everything in between. Today, healthcare providers are faced with challenges such as increasing costs, decreasing reimbursement, access to and turnover in talented staffing, suboptimized coding and documentation practices, and overall increasing bad debt write-offs. Without the right advisory team, overcoming these hurdles and creating a well-oiled RCM machine can quickly become a daunting task.  

The reality is there is no one-size-fits-all solution to optimizing a revenue cycle. Finding ways to effectively increase profit while providing quality care is rooted in what makes your organization unique. 

EisnerAmper’s RCM service line has decades of experience, across modalities, in helping leaders across the healthcare spectrum navigate their unique revenue streams and maximize their bottom lines.

Our Three-Step Revenue Cycle Process

Working through a three-step framework custom built for your health system/provider organization, our team can become fully immersed in your unique processes and revenue streams and leverage tested industry strategies and systems to maximize your income.

1. Identify Opportunities

With a thorough RCM assessment, complete via both a deep-dive process and data performance review, you’ll gain a clear and quantitative understanding of your overall performance segmented by front, middle, backend revenue function performance; provider productivity and coding; and documentation performance.  

More importantly, our team will provide you with a clear understanding of your current performance and uncover opportunities unique to your operations. At the end of the engagement, you will understand your current state and subsequent performance, align your vision to key impact areas, identify critical capability gaps for future state, and have a prioritized execution-focused roadmap to achieve both one-time and annual ongoing accounts increases to your financial bottom line—in addition to pinpointing production improvements and cost-reduction areas.

2. Coding and Documentation Sample Review

Through an in-depth audit of sample medical chart reviews, you’ll gain insights into potential over-coding and under-coding issues hindering your revenue stream. Our review includes evaluating your current coding practices to help you establish priorities for documentation improvement, education and training, and identifying and mitigating reimbursement risks. Our goal is to help you improve accuracy and protect earned revenue. Additionally, this step serves as a proactive tool in reducing exposure to post-payment audits by insurance companies.

3. Implementation

As a dedicated healthcare partner, EisnerAmper’s team is here to support your goals over the long run. Upon our findings, we provide a detailed roadmap of changes to obtain the opportunities identified in our assessment. We provide implementation services and, where needed, interim assistance, staff augmentation, and management assistance solutions. In addition, we provide direct to the providers and certified coding staff customized educational services, based upon the actual chart review, to remediate gaps and maximize your revenue.
