$750M+, Non-profit, Regional Healthcare Organization in the Southern United States

Challenges

Outdated Revenue Cycle Operations (RCO) system builds/processes that did not meet requirements during a rapid organizational growth. Need for finance to have an accurate and dependable cash flow forecast from RCO. Staff were lacking current knowledge in ever-changing billing requirements. Distrust and disconnect between IT and RCO.

Solution

Provided RCO transformation driven by Texican’s Life of Claim and Analytics to establish a reliable, core revenue cycle organization, delivering sustainable results. Conducted continuous triage and assessment of core processes and peripheral RCO technology integration.

Results

The transformation engagement resulted in total cash flow improvement of $146M . Just as remarkable, our client during COVID-19 was able to grow cash while mitigating significant financial and organizational impacts experienced by other healthcare organizations. This work helped them to position for a highly successful merger.

Challenges

Rapid growth through acquisition resulting in different cultures, Revenue Cycle Operations, leadership, and internal politics. The different cultures perpetuated a scenario of growing receivables, reduction in cash flow, revenue leakage, inability to meet financial goals and dysfunctional relationship between IT and RCO.

All while enabling meaningful use compliance and shifting the organization from 60% to 100% compliance of electronic charge capture.

Results

On $210M annual patient revenue, improved cash flow $22.2 million over the course of the engagement, reduced AR days by 9 days, and improved clean claim rate 21% and improved cash to charge by 3.25%.

Challenges

Difficulty in achieving Revenu Cycle Operations (RCO) goals set by senior leadership. Staff lacked training and were overwhelmed with workflow backlogs. RCO needed new leadership, training, mentorship, and motivation to meet the ever-changing payer rules and requirements.

Staff Training and accountability were structurally put in place resulting in a change of culture. Texican’s Life of a Claim (LOAC) software provided workflow management and analytics to continuously improve operational results.

Results

In the first 15 months the system realized $52M in incremental cash flow and 4.8% improvement in cash to charge improvement and a 15% increase in Point of Service collections as well as reduction in bad debt % of gross revenue of ½ %.
