Revenue Cycle & Recovery

Use analytics to uncover opportunities to control costs, optimize reimbursements and improve cash flow.

Reveal the revenue hiding in your data.

In any field, maximizing profitability requires managing the most important financial aspects of the business. Revenue cycle management is the lifeblood of any business, but some patient billing solutions can delay payments, drain profit margins and restrict cash flow.

Partnering with HORNE Healthcare enables you to access the latest revenue cycle solutions within a cost-effective framework. We provide customized revenue cycle management options designed to maximize reimbursements, improve financial performance and free you from time-consuming tasks so you can focus on improving the patient experience.

Revenue Recovery

Our design approach incorporates the latest compensation best practices and compliance mandates to better align behaviors with your organizational strategy. With our experience in a diverse range of healthcare provider entities, we’ll deliver insights that strengthen your ability to recruit and retain high-quality providers and improve the overall patient experience.

Revenue Benchmarking

We help you establish meaningful revenue, reimbursement and performance benchmarks. Then we provide comprehensive analytics reports that enable you to monitor your progress and identify areas for improvement:

Financial Reports

  • Cost and profitability
  • Contract management
  • Evaluation and management coding
  • Revenue opportunities

Operations Reports

  • Scheduling
  • Charge lag
  • Productivity
  • Collections and receivables
  • Denials

Clinical Reports

  • Meaningful use metrics
  • Physician quality reporting system
  • Patient safety or patient support programs
  • Accountable care organization metrics

Cost Analysis

Our annual cost analysis goes beyond providing a breakdown of cost categories. We take a holistic look at your business and examine costs in every area, including clinical, operations, staffing and vendor costs. We then use benchmarks and our own industry expertise to give recommendations that will have a measurable impact on your business. For example:

  • Have any compliance risks been overlooked?
  • What are your most promising areas in which to reduce costs or waste?
  • Are there areas where benchmarks are not in place?
  • What are the biggest areas of variance compared to industry norms?

Utility Cost Analysis

Utilities are one of your largest recurring costs. Inefficiencies or overcharges in this area can result in a drain on profitability every month. Our approach to utility analysis has helped 82% of clients realize substantial savings or refunds, and larger healthcare organizations often realize five- to six-figure savings on annual utility costs.

Coding and Compliance Review

The complexities of coding, combined with changing regulations, can lead to lost revenues, incorrect reimbursement and even possible fraud and/or abuse charges. HORNE helps you enhance revenues and decrease compliance risks with services including:

  • Retrospective coding reviews that identify past instances of incorrect coding and provide a plan for resolving recurring issues.
  • Outsourced pre-bill coding services that integrate seamlessly into your existing systems and help you ensure compliance and proper reimbursement.
  • Provider and staff education to keep your team up to date on issues and developments that concern coding and compliance.
