Aligning the Revenue Cycle with Payment Reform

Speaker: Deborah Walker Keegan, PhD, FACMPE, Healthcare Consultant, Keynote Speaker, Author, Medical Practice Dimensions, Inc.

Value-based purchasing, consumer-driven health plans, payer consolidation and accountable care are trademarks of the new payment reform landscape. As we transition from payment-for-volume to payment-for-value, we need to manage new revenue streams beyond the traditional claims and statement process. The financial engagement of patients in today’s health plans also requires a new focus on front-end billing, to include price estimation tools, patient financial clearance and time-of-service collections.

Learning Objectives:

• At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Express the impact of current changes on the revenue cycle
• Explain how to accelerate the revenue cycle
• Identify revenue streams to ensure revenue optimization
