Smart Strategies for Boosting Hospital Revenue
Revenue leakage presents a huge challenge for healthcare organizations. According to a study by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), it can account for up to 5 percent of a healthcare organization’s net revenue – potentially making the difference between an entity being profitable or not profitable.
Fear not, however – there are solutions to tackle revenue leakage. One effective strategy is strong denial management. In fact, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) found that healthcare organizations with robust denial management strategies experienced an incredible 15 percent increase in their overall net collection rates.
During the next live edition of the long-running and popular Talk Ten Tuesdays weekly Internet radio broadcast, Susie Vestevich, chief operating officer for TiaTech USA, will return to the broadcast to report on strategies intended to stop the leak.
Talk Ten Tuesdays will also feature these outstanding segments and thought leaders:

- SDoH Report: Tiffany Ferguson, a subject matter expert on the social determinants of health (SDoH), will report on news that’s happening at the intersection of coding and the SDoH.
