Extended Business Office Support
Extra Support for Healthcare Administration
Challenges abound for all healthcare providers. Staff are pulled in multiple directions and asked to do more with less. It has become normal to depend on multiple external partners to support a finely tuned revenue cycle. Whether providing direct support or coordinating back-office partners, there is a solution for every unique challenge.
When Is It Time to Outsource?
Enlisting as-needed administrative support for key functions of revenue cycle management can be a valuable and cost-effective approach. If your team struggles to follow up on or review claims or process collections in a timely manner, your organization may be a good fit for extended business office support. Other healthcare facilities using extended business office support have reported improved collections, lower A/R days outstanding, and a more efficient department.
