How Healthcare Providers Can Improve the Performance of Healthcare Collectors

Over on insidePatientFinance.com, you can download a free whitepaper presented by insidePatientFinance and DECA Financial Services that gives tips and solutions for how healthcare providers can better partner with outsourced collections.

In today’s tight financial times, healthcare providers — like any other business — need to collect every penny possible. The healthcare dollars collected today enable providers to provide the essential healthcare services of the future.

One area frequently examined is collections, and often there is pressure to look elsewhere for collection partners. In this paper, DECA lays out the three critical reasons why you should never change your collection partner just for change’s sake.

Even if there is a perception – by the CEO, CFO, Revenue Cycle Director, or even Patient Financial Services director – that a collection partner is underperforming, it may not be necessary to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This paper offers a simple, yet effective alternative – hire a secondary partner – that will actually increase the effectiveness of your existing partner or partners.

Hiring a secondary partner is not without risk however, and this paper explains the key challenges of what you need to do and what you need to avoid to make this approach worthwhile.
