The challenges of today’s healthcare industry demand that serious attention be given to the entire revenue cycle. A modern healthcare revenue cycle is defined as all administrative and clinical functions that contribute to the capture, presentation and collection of patient service revenue. In general, these functional areas act sequentially on a patient visit, adding critical information required for procuring payment. If one area in this cycle performs poorly, the ultimate goal of cash collections will suffer.

CSF provides outsource “tactical” services through the MSO such as revenue cycle management, electronic medical record (EMR), billing technology and information technology support, health plan contracting, credentialing, outcomes and care management, professional development, compliance, patient registration/verification, group purchasing, financial management, and human resources functions.

REVENUE CYCLE MANAGEMENT (RCM):

Acute Care, Outpatient Hospital, Ambulatory Surgery, Physician/Surgeons and Laboratory      

RCM is the method that manages claims processing, payment and revenue generation. It requires whoever is billing keep track of all claims that are within the system, make sure payments are collected and that any denied claims are addressed.  RCM encompasses everything from determining patient insurance eligibility and collecting co-pays to properly coding claims using CPT and ICD-9 codes.

RCM is the cornerstone to making your entity more profitable. We combine our many years of real life experience with available technology to offer the best solutions for our clients. Our primary function is to get clients paid a fair compensation for the services they provide. This process starts with timely and accurately submitted claims to the payers. If claims are denied or low paid, we then hand the claim to our dedicated denial management team member who pursues the payment as if it were their own money. After all appeals are exhausted we then have other options through relationships (i.e. legal) to continue the fight for our clients.
