Proven Strategies for Getting Paid Despite Medicare Fee Cuts and Declining Medicaid Rolls

More than two years after the pandemic-era Medicaid continuous enrollment provision ended, millions of eligible patients are without coverage, creating a crisis for hospitals and healthcare systems that rely on Medicaid reimbursement dollars. Adding to the strain on providers, Medicare physician payments have been cut for the fifth consecutive year. Compounding these challenges, the number of patients presenting as self-pay or on high-deductible health plans (HDHP) continues to grow. Uninsured, self-pay, and high-deductible patients take longer to pay — if they pay — and have a higher risk of write-off. What can providers do to protect their financial health? Listen to the podcast to hear RCM optimization experts discuss five proven tips for improving revenue capture, even in the most challenging of times. Providers will learn how to optimize reimbursement, reduce administrative burden, and improve the patient’s financial experience. This episode is sponsored by ZOLL (https://www.zoll.com/en).
