Potomac Obstetrics & Gynecology: Delivering a new medical practice in Maryland in 2012 Our partnership with Greenway through PrimeRCM Presented by: Eric Ashkin, MD
Things we needed to consider Leaving one private practice and starting a new one EMR/Practice Management Systems are not transferable How to keep a top of the line EHR/Practice Management system in place without incurring prohibitive startup costs?
Partnering with RCM We were able to continue to work with a top of the line product we were familiar with and roll costs of implementation up into billing fees Needed to, at very least outsource billing Partnering with Greenway and being able to use the same GUI for EHR, Practice Management, and patient account management invaluable
Looking Forward Old Practice In-House Billing Days in AR 2 months Relationship with Billing Department - Limited No ability to report out progress on charges and accounts Salaried employees compensation not linked to job performance New Practice RCM Easy to see Payments for Big Ticket Items coming in in less than 9 business days RCM Working in our site virtually next to us all day long Emails for charge entry questions in real time in the system, HIPPA compliant Account manager on the phone in real time
Looking Forward Old Practice In-house Patient calls and query s had to be handled in-house by same people that were supposed to be posting charges and working claims Staff limited, if someone calls out, work is not done New Practice RCM Charge entry team Patient account specialist to work on the phone with customer questions Separate person for managing denials Account manager Cross trained personnel Accountability
Looking Forward Old Practice In-house Billing Old practice had 8 Providers supported by 35 full-time employees Billing Manager(s) Coders Charge Entry Payment Posters New Practice RCM New practice has 3 providers and 5 full-time and 1 part-time employee
How far we have come together 18 months into new practice and only 4% of AR is > 90 days Claims are being paid on average in 2 weeks, most are less Adding new service lines as we grow is collaborative and seamless Physician ownership over billing and coding is unanimously satisfying
How far we have come together On site support staff is focused on customer service and medical care Offsite our RCM partners are keeping the lights on and making sure we collect on our work and efforts!
