Outsourcing Solution Saves Healthcare Provider from Smothering under Acquired Accounts Receivable (A/R) Avalanche

Long Island Radiology Practice Utilizes GeBBS Healthcare Solutions to Address Billing Issues and Develop Enhanced Practice Billing Guidelines

On January 20, 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower succeeded Harry S. Truman as the 34th President of the United States. Later that year, Walt Disney’s feature film, “Peter Pan,” premiered, and the coronation of Elizabeth II took place at Westminster Abbey. While this event may not rate on the same scale as these world events, 1953 also marked the year Dr. Jerome Zwanger founded his radiology practice on Long Island, New York. Zwanger partnered with Dr. E.J. Pesiri in 1958, and the two doctors led Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology for more than 50 years.

Now owned and led by Drs. Steven and Susan Mendelsohn, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology has grown to be one of the most respected radiology practices in the country today. The radiologists of Zwanger-Pesiri are subspecialty trained in areas such as neuroradiology and musculoskeletal, body and breast imaging and serve residents of the counties of Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island.

According to a recent healthcare technology research study, U.S. Revenue Cycle Management by HIMSS, focused on the revenue cycle management (RCM) marketplace, positive changes are predicted in the attitudes of CEOs, CFOs and IT directors toward the efficacy of RCM to improve a healthcare facility’s financial operation.

The study included nearly 400 participants -- CEOs, CFOs and IT directors -- representing 360 U.S. hospital organizations of various sizes with the objective of assessing how the HITECH Act’s focus on stimulating the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Health Information Exchange (HIE) solutions combined with the delay in the ICD-10 compliance deadline was impacting the RCM marketplace.

The study found that 21 % of participants said they were planning to replace or enhance core RCM capabilities in the next 24 months, and for hospitals with more than 400 beds, that number increased to 36 %. 53 % of the respondents said they plan to upgrade their core RCM due to healthcare financial regulatory changes, with that number increasing to 68 % for the hospitals with more than 400 beds.

When it comes to revenue cycle management (RCM), you need an outsourced medical billing partner that understands all aspect and nuances of the billing process.
