This year's September Educational Program will feature Frank Cohen, MPA, a certified Six Sigma Black Belt and the Senior Analyst for MIT Solutions, Inc., developers of analytical and Decision Support tools and systems for healthcare organizations.  Frank will use his 30 years of consulting experience for hospitals, large and small medical practices and other health care professionals to CMGMA for a Revenue Cycle Analysis. 

 

The idea of managing the revenue cycle in a medical practice seems pretty basic on the surface.  But dive down into the details of the different processes involved and you can soon be looking at dozens and dozens of different steps involving many different people and departments.  The fact is, the hardest part about managing the revenue cycle is understanding how it works.  To accomplish this, we need to get a handle on where the revenue cycle begins, where it ends and what happens in between.  Using cutting edge process management and improvement tools, this workshop guides the attendee through the entire revenue cycle, beginning with developing a defensible fee schedule through learning how to build process and value stream maps of the patient visit cycle and the billing cycle, finishing with a lesson on how to conduct a reimbursement validation and managed care contract value analysis.
