RCM Revenue Cycle Management A Guide software dashboard showing revenue analytics for healthcare providers less Claims Get Denied
Did you know that U.S. healthcare providers lose billions of dollars every year as a result of billing errors and claim denials? It’s a massive financial bloodletting that speaks to a fundamental reality of medicine: failing to tend to the financial health of your practice can be as harmful as failing to care for your patients. The answer is learning to master the financial pulse of your practice, which is done through something called Revenue Cycle Management (RCM).

This guide will help you understand what revenue cycle management is, why it is increasingly important in the world of healthcare, and what the benefits are of getting the most out of the process. Its critical importance in the healthcare landscape, and the significant benefits of optimizing this process. We will also discover why so many practices have decided to work with experienced RCM solution providers such as The Heaven Solutions to protect their financial future and concentrate on what really matters, taking care of patients..

Well then, what is RCM? It is the end–to–end financial flow through healthcare facilities for all services and all administrative and clinical processes related to patient revenue. In healthcare, the revenue cycle starts when a patient makes an appointment and ends once a provider has received payment for all services delivered. It’s a multi-step process designed to ensure that the providers get properly and efficiently reimbursed for the care they provide.

A poorly run cycle means a lot of lost cash, late payments, and a tremendous administrative strain that can put an entire operation at risk from the standpoint of both stability and growth.

Why Effective RCM is More Critical Than Ever

The healthcare world is ever-changing, and its financial systems are no exception. For a practice to survive, it must negotiate a maze of rules, payer demands, and administrative tasks. Challenges for providers today are two-fold and especially unique  complexity in billing has taken a quantum leap, and the sheer volume of non-medical efforts, including but not limited to hand-holding and whispering sweet nothings (of course, we are not here for any kind of social interaction), is just crushing for providers.

The Increasing Complexity of Billing and Coding

Staying current with shifting rules and regulations, inconsistent payer policies, and ongoing changes to coding standards (I’m looking at you, ICD-10, a Dalmatian is less spotted than you) is a full-time job. An error as minor as a key punch error, an outdated code, or a missed pre-authorization may be the sole cause for the denial of a claim. These denials are more than just minor inconveniences; they’re barriers to your cash flow. Each takes time and resources to research, appeal, and resubmit, and that contributes to a pattern of late payments and lost income..

The Burden of Administrative Tasks

Outside the realm of coding, the RCM workflow is burdened with administrative chores that squander time. From charge entry and payment application to denied claim follow-up and final accounts receivable (A/R) follow-up, the work is enormous. Then, add patient billing and support into the mix, and the answer is clear: This is a fundamental business process. When your internal team is overwhelmed by the burden of those responsibilities, their attention is necessarily shifted from point-of-care and strategic initiatives. This administrative drag is a detriment to efficiency and growth.
