Why Us?
Hands on
Expertise
-
25+ years of financial, data, regulatory & reimbursement expertise personally available at all times.
-
We will not over-book clients at the expense of product quality and loss of job-specific focus.
Competition
-
Firms often over-book their clients, whereas direct hands on focus and attention from the consultant’s true experts tends to spread thin.
-
Client is more likely to be relegated to lower support staff for their immediate needs.
Focus on
Pricing
-
Technical precision & regulatory knowledge are extremely important components; but coupled with substantially lower consulting fees creates an attractive option for cash-strapped hospitals
-
We focus our skills & resources on what’s essential and practical, avoiding unnecessary overhead and ineffective service pitches.
-
Uniquely streamlined infrastructure allows for more flexible and favorable 30% - 50% lower pricing, while strictly maintaining superior product support, quicker turnaround times, and more value.
-
Firms with overly aggressive marketing or social media teams justify more “product offerings” and in turn, more unnecessary client billing.
-
Many consultants host phone conferences or webinars to present technical or regulatory topics in overly complex ways meant to impress.
-
Current issues with otherwise straightforward solutions are left as “cliff hangers”, designed to misguide participants toward concern or panic.
Value
-
In reality, with minor additional effort, products should be combined into common categories as “value packages”, fitting the client’s broader needs.
-
Medicom identifies overlapping data elements amongst various cost centers, eliminating the tendency to create unnecessary work effort & billing. Smarter overlapping of similar services keeps output timely, relevant & useful, and overall pricing stays in check - at reasonable and justifiable levels.
-
Firms often give the impression that they offer a large variety of distinct products, and then charge for each accordingly.
Results
-
Expert systems do exist; we’ve spent years successfully compiling such modules. However, there are no magic “turnkey” solutions that handle 100% of the inevitable data anomalies that occur, or ever evolving hospital-specific issues at any given moment.
-
Revenue recovery processing can and should be automated for cost-effectiveness, to augment processing speed, reduce redundancy, formatting, ID optimization, cross-breed separate data sets, etc.
-
Medicom ultimately differs at the personal review and decision-making levels. Our analysis regularly identifies recovery opportunities previously overlooked by a competitor’s “intelligent software”.
-
Several consulting firms market super intelligent “software” or trademarked “systems”, promising to automate the entire revenue cycle with minimal human intervention required.
-
Online SaaS “Do-It-Yourself” services are marketed, where in reality, the hospital’s internal staff dedicates more time inputting, analyzing and re-inputting the product, rather than having just one outside expert take it entirely off their hands with substantially improved results.
-
Expert processing methodologies boast “proprietary algorithms” and “mathematical permutations” hitherto never used elsewhere.
