  Revenue Cycle Management Services  
  Overview  
 

Growing service demands, thin operating margins, changing regulatory landscape and intense competition continue to challenge Hospitals, Providers and Health Systems. Ineffective revenue cycle management can cost a hospital up to three percent of annual net revenues. With the current trend of high deductible health plans, the ability for the healthcare provider to accurately estimate the patient portion of billable charges has an impact on receivables. Compliance & Internal controls play a vital part in reducing the risk associated with heightened scrutiny from governmental bodies challenging the Medicare and Medicaid coding and billing practices of health care providers.

In this high-pressure environment, managing your bottom line has never been more critical. iSpace's revenue cycle management solution help provider organizations achieve their goals of higher-performance in revenue management while bringing in best practices that impact control and compliance.

iSpace’s comprehensive suite of revenue cycle management services are customized to meet our clients needs and deliver immediate bottom line benefits by streamlining the entire revenue flow. To optimize profitability,
iSpace brings best practices to all patient interactions — from pre-registration data collection, eligibility, coding, billing to final payment and collections.
