Optimize your revenue cycle, improve your staff training, and formalize your practice policies
About HealthOps Consulting
Welcome to HealthOps Consulting! Our mission is to empower healthcare practices with access to both affordable healthcare consulting and a library of expert-created, white-label staff trainings and policies. Our team is comprised of several experts in ambulatory healthcare operations who partnered to create an expansive library of content to help ambulatory practices streamline their operations, formalize their policies and procedures, and reduce staff turnover by delivering effective training.
Our team has extensive experience in healthcare team building and process improvement, with experience building multiple healthcare operations teams of 50+ FTEs, supervising a $20M+ annual revenue cycle, negotiating dozens of health insurance contracts, analyzing complex EHR data sets, and more. We bring years of hands-on experience in healthcare operations to our consulting engagements, staff training courses, and practice policy content.
Staff Trainings and Policies
As practice leaders, we ourselves recognized a need for robust staff training to improve patient care, increase practice efficiency, and reduce claim denials. We searched for on-demand training solutions, and found few options that were specific to and affordable for outpatient practices. This meant we had to create
We created HealthOps Consulting to solve that need — providing your practice with white-label policies and staff training content that can be implemented rapidly in your practice.
Revenue Cycle Consulting Engagements
Our team has directly managed ambulatory practice revenue cycles with annual revenues greater than $20 million. We offer the following revenue cycle consulting services, designed to help your practice optimize its revenue cycle, identify bottlenecks, flag underpayments, and maximize your clinical efforts.
Payer Ranking
Using data from your EHR or billing software, we can craft a payer ranking model that systematically ranks your payers by gross collections rate (GCR), net collections rate (NCR), and accounts receivable aging (AR) — helping you re-evaluate your payer mix to identify areas of opportunity.
Denials Analysis
We can craft a detailed analysis of recent claim denials, analyzing metrics such as first pass claim yield (FPCY), clean claim submission rate (CCSR), denial rates by payer, denial rates by provider, and denial rates by reason. Using this data, we can then recommend strategies to help you move from denials management to denials prevention.
Underpayments Model
Using the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, organized by both region and year, we can craft a model of your average reimbursement rate by payer as a percent of Medicare and compare that to your contracted rates. This is incredibly useful in identifying worklists of underpaid claims that can then be appealed with each payer — helping you recover missed revenue.
