A Conversation with Cecilia Gonzalez and Rachel Greenspan
Episode Overview
Revenue cycle performance is a hot topic across the country as organizations work to rebound from the difficult past couple of years caused by COVID. There are many things that impact and contribute to the complexity of the revenue cycle, but they boil down to three categories: people, process, and technology.
On this episode of Value-Based Care insights, host Daniel J. Marino discusses ways to identify areas of opportunity and increase the revenue cycle performance with revenue cycle leaders, Cecilia Gonzalez and Rachel Greenspan.
Key takeaways:
- When aiming to increase revenue and create efficiencies, leaders must educate and properly train front-end staff so that they understand the entire revenue cycle and how to avoid costly denials.
- Key performance indicators support operational effectiveness as they drive outcomes and improve the overall financial performance of the group.
- Centralized pre-certification processes can reduce inefficiencies as staff members become subject matter experts who are focused on the requirements of the payers to ensure timely and proper payment for services.
