Revenue Cycle Management

A healthcare organization's revenue cycle is its financial circulatory system. Preventing denials of claims and maintaining a visible, efficient billing process are key parts of a healthy revenue cycle. However, very few organizations have a perfect revenue cycle process. "Without some critical changes to provider workflow and revenue cycle management practices, providers will, in coming years, spend even more time and money chasing patient receivables and dealing with increased levels of uncollectible patient responsibility dollars," says Ralph Bernstein, senior vice president of U.S. Bank Healthcare Payment Solutions.
