Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The spread of high-deductible health plans and a rising number of medically uninsured patients could quickly unravel your practice's cash collection and accounts receivable performance. It could even undermine your reputation as a savvy manager of the practice's finances. To prevent that calamity, shift into preparation mode. Plan now to reduce collection delays and eliminate confusion as more patients move into consumer-directed health plans that combine high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses with options such as health savings accounts that encourage patients to spend less, not more, for health care. |
