The Solution

Using MedeAnalytics’ Revenue Cycle Management solutions, Wise Health was able to create efficiencies in patient access, mid-cycle processes, and business office functions. These improvements included:

 

Real-time analytics to improve point-of-service collections during patient registration and payment clearance processes

Opportunities to improve revenue capture, minimize audit risk and succeed with ICD-10

Identification of black holes, bottleneck and outliers to improve cash flow and collections, as well as avoid lost revenue and reimbursement delays

Self-service dashboards and reports providing visibility into A/R and denials with trends, drill downs and causal analysis

Ability to monitor and improve staff productivity and efficiency

Together, these meaningful shifts brought about remarkable operational value and clinical outcomes. Beyond that, a shared source of data and insights allowed various teams and sites of care to work together more seamlessly for the benefit of the patient.

“As we continued to grow and diversify our patient offerings, it became clear that we needed a continuous process for operations and management across the enterprise.”
