“No physician likes to work all day long and have to see more and more patients only to get paid less and less. Dunbar was able to show us how we could see the same number of patients and actually get paid what we were supposed to be getting paid.”
Deaconess Case Study
As a result of embracing and implementing the BDA program, Deaconess experienced double digit % revenue growth, without a significant increase to its existing patient load.
10 Common Mistakes Managing Emergency Dept Reimbursement and Cash Flow
#1 Believing that the Evaluation and Management [E/M] level billed by the ED Physician must be the same level as that billed by the hospital for the ED Facility.
The #1 Most Common Mistake occurs when your staff believes that the Evaluation and Management [E/M] level billed by the ED Physician must be the same level as that billed by the hospital for the ED Facility.
#2 Failing to evaluate and adjust your Point System on a systematic basis.
The 2nd most common mistake is that the Facility Point System is not regularly evaluated to capture all services. A point system would be a consistent methodology for assigning an ED Facility Level based on the work performed by the ED staff. An interesting fact is, that to this date, there are no national standards for assignment of hospital Facility Levels.
#3 Failing to consistently educate all members of your ED staff regarding your Point System
A 3rd common mistake is the inconsistent interpretation of the point system by the staff. Once the point system is developed, it is imperative for all staff members to accurately and consistently interpret not only how the point system is being used, but also how it was intended to be used.
