TruBridge’s RCM Product Suite helps healthcare organizations find solutions to poor revenue cycle performance

August 31, 2022 11:26 pm

How do you help healthcare organizations navigate the biggest challenges in healthcare?

Many healthcare organizations struggle with achieving best practice revenue cycle performance and oftentimes can’t determine exactly what’s causing the issues. TruBridge specializes in a consultative and collaborative approach to first diagnose the root cause of poor revenue cycle performance and then make professional recommendations for improvement which could be any combination of people, process or product improvements. 

What advice would you offer to healthcare leaders when choosing among vendors?

First and foremost, the vendor should have a proven track of improving the exact problem or challenge. Second, the vendor should offer a shared risk contract that ties performance to payment. Third, relationships matter, so the vendor should operate as an extension of your operation.

What is some advice you can give providers for a successful implementation of a new product or service?

First, document the exact metrics or key performance indicators that need to improve prior to contract signing, and tie vendor contract terms to improving those specific metrics. Second, build your implementation around the metrics. Third, assign and empower an internal leader that can hold both parties accountable to achieve the goals set forth in the implementation plan. 

“The ability for the TruBridge RCM software to catch billing errors before the claim goes out the door is simply phenomenal, and the result is we are receiving payment in a record time frame for us. We generated $2 million in additional cash.”

—Tiffany Huston, director of Patient Financial Services at Door County Medical Center
