Revenue Cycle

Lynn Labarta and Jess Stover discuss the importance of payment trend analysis and payment collection posting for hospice care facilities. They explore how these two practices go hand in hand, and why it is crucial for administration to have a good understanding of payment trends to be able to manage their agencies effectively. Payment trends can help hospice care facilities identify any red flags, such as significant drops in revenue, giving them time to investigate the reasons behind such drops and make necessary corrections. Lynn and Jess also delve into denial trends and how monitoring them closely can help facilities make proactive decisions on certain payers to avoid significant revenue losses.
They also emphasize the importance of posting daily to help maintain clean AR reports and speed up cash flow. Jess and Lynn also go through the domino effect of poor upstream processes on billing, making it a challenging role that demands careful attention to detail.
