Strategic management of physicians’ day-to-day operational issues

Unlike physician practices of yesteryears, physician practices today have found themselves surrounded by a larger pool of stakeholders: patients, government, and insurance carriers. While physicians commitment to quality medical services continues to be unquestionable, their ability to comply with escalating government’s healthcare norms, and insurance providers’ stringent reimbursement policy has been found wanting. As the continued compromise on these issues is sure going to adversely impact on their credibility, sustenance and growth, physicians need to strategize a balancing act that can effectively and efficiently keep the patient-insurance carriers-government grid satisfied. But, if historical references are any indication, any attempt to divert their attention to non-core activities would eventually be detrimental to the core-concern of benchmarked medical services. Therefore, given the repercussions despite investing time and resources, physicians would rather consider outsourcing compliance and reimbursement functions from competent service providers.

Although, there are numerable outsourcing windows available, physicians need to be cautious while choosing as any hurried selection would only extend their plight. The self-sufficiency of your prospective service provider in offering the following portfolio of services should be a yard-stick to measure his competence and credibility: accounting/financial reporting, risk/litigation, billing & collection, managed care contracting, coordinated care center management, practice development, credentialing, practice operations management, finance,information technology, and regulatory compliance. Such prudent selection would invariably be motive for:

• Uncompromising quality medical service to your faith-reposing patient community
• Practice management in congruence with Federal Government’s health care norms
• Compliant medical billing management as per insurance providers’ stringent reimbursement norms
• Credibility in a highly competitive healthcare industry
