Allowing Physicians to Focus on Critical Tasks

In the same vein that artists stick to creative pursuits and avoid business-related tasks, physicians and medical practitioners alike must ideally focus all their energies on diagnosing and treating the unwell. However, the ground reality is that healthcare practices manage the entire life cycle of a patient account—from creation to payment—a strenuous exercise made up of various administrative and clinical functions. In this time-strapped setting, physicians also have the onus to stay abreast of industry changes and regulatory compliances, maximize reimbursements, reduce out-of-pocket expenses for patients, and decrease personnel overheads. In other words, they need to run a business while also treating patients.

Take the example of a large healthcare practice that was struggling with large amounts of account receivables, low reimbursements, and a high attrition rate. To improve their worsening situation, the practice called upon the services of Mid-Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc., a full spectrum revenue cycle management company that offers medical billing, records management, and consultation services. After conducting a thorough practice performance assessment, Mid-Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc. identified trends and potential issues before designing a tailor-made solution for the practice. “We maximized the billing process for faster turnaround times and alleviated several billing bottlenecks found during our discovery process. With great execution and re-designing of the processes, this client enjoyed faster reimbursements, increased revenues, lower overhead costs, and a newly structured checks-and-balance system to avoid missed billing from their different service locations,” explains Kunal Kathuria, VP of Mid-Michigan Medical Billing Service, Inc.
