| 4 | VideoPaperwork Prison | Hospitals risk paying the hidden costs associated with inefficient manual processes when using traditional outbound patient billing and inbound payment collection methods. Traditionally speaking, patients were limited to two payment options – either paying in person or mailing their check to the provider. Unfortunately, the "paperwork prison" (the excessive administrative costs and hassle associated with collecting paper-based patient payments such as sorting and opening mail, posting patient payments, creating deposit tickets and making trips to the bank) actually reduces the net amount that providers get to keep. Proactive providers are now including online payment options to avoid the "paperwork prison" while empowering patients with payment flexibility. In this session, Baptist Health Systems will share strategies for increasing patient adoption of online payment for patient-owed amounts. | 7/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 5 | VideoClaims Black Hole | Providers need access to a clear, accurate and timely snapshot of each and every claim from start to finish. Without a tracking mechanism and process in place, providers are at risk for late or missing claims payments as a result of the claims black hole – submitted from the provider but not completely processed by the payer. Given today's diverse healthcare landscape, with a vast network of payers and complex claim submission requirements, tracking claims throughout the entire revenue cycle can be daunting yet critical for the success of healthcare providers. In this session, Kelly Baker, CBO Senior Director at Novant Medical Group, will explore strategies for capturing a clear and direct view of claims to prevent unnecessary follow-up with payers and claims rework to protect cash flow. Using these same strategies, providers can reduce their risk of missing claims and streamline workflows for faster, more efficient adjudication. | 4/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 6 | VideoPatient Profiles | As patients bear more responsibility for direct payment of their healthcare costs, there is an increased financial risk that hospital systems may not be fully compensated for services they provide. Traditional revenue cycle management strategies typically triage this balance sheet issue mid-way through or after the patient encounter. Unfortunately, this approach limits the options available to providers to maximize payment and reimbursement. In this session, Lakeland Healthcare will explore a new strategy for optimizing the financial health of provider organizations. Using a Patient Financial Profile System, providers can reduce their risk of denied claims, underpayments, bad debt and more easily identify and forecast charity care cases before the patient even receives medical treatment. Providers will learn how to create a comprehensive Patient Financial Profile System using the following data points: Address verification, Commercial insurance and managed care eligibility and benefits verification, Patient financial responsibility estimation, Credit Score, Healthcare Risk Score, Income, Hospital Payment history, Federal Poverty Guidelines | 3/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 9 | VideoPayment Integrity: Uncovering lost revenue and collecting underpaid claims through the Review, Audit and Recovery Process | What would you do if a Government Managed Care or Commercial Payer reimbursed you for less than your negotiated fee schedule? Or well past your contracted timeframe? Or worst case, not at all? Unfortunately, these frustrating situations involving payment integrity and payer performance are all too common for healthcare providers dealing with underpayments, aging receivables and denied claims from payers. The complexity of payer contracts and volume of claims often forces providers to write-off thousands of dollars of lost revenue. Similar to Government Managed Care and Commercial payers who have made payment integrity a priority to address healthcare fraud and waste within their networks; providers now have an equal opportunity to protect their bottom line as well. In this session, Lakeland Regional Medical Center will explore the payment integrity strategies providers can use to ensure complete and timely reimbursements. | 11/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 10 | VideoDenial Management Strategies to Increase Cash Flow and Maximize Reimbursements | Tracking and managing the overwhelming volume of claims, denials, and resubmissions throughout the entire revenue cycle can be a daunting challenge for healthcare providers. As the collection period for payer reimbursements has increased, the impact of denied and underpaid claims has further compounded this issue, straining workloads and jeopardizing critical cash flow and capital reserves. As providers continue to navigate an economically challenging climate, streamlining the denial management process and, more importantly, preventing future revenue loss or delay is becoming increasingly critical. Determining root causes, patterns, and process breakdowns responsible for denials and establishing corrective steps can reduce the volume of denied claims and write-offs, ultimately increasing net revenue. Henrietta Goodall Hospital shares best practices and recommendations for using proactive denial management strategies to shape internal policies and processes to maximize results. | 10/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 11 | VideoTransparency in Healthcare: Patient Friendly Billing | Since patients with CDHPs bear more out-of-pocket expenses, providers need to proactively optimize their patient billing and payment processes to become more patient-friendly. Helping patients understand their financial responsibility is an important part of the ongoing provider-patient relationship which empowers patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare and personal finances. This also benefits providers who are seeking to shrink their backlog of unpaid patient balances and reduce patient billing inquiries. Memorial Medical Center will share best practices and recommendations for leveraging the PATIENT FRIENDLY BILLING® guidelines outlined by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) to shape internal policies and processes to maximize results. | 8/31/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
