Improving Medical Practice Performance

Improving Medical Practice PerformanceManaging cash flow effectively is one of the greatest challenges any business faces. Your medical practice is no different. In fact, in many ways, managing cash flow in a medical practice is more complicated than in a typical business to consumer company. The dependency on third party payments (reimbursements) adds a dimension to your practices that few other industries encounter. Staying on top of changing reimbursements, fee schedules, diagnosis codes and treatment plan options is a daunting task. Factor in the pending patient care management protocols being ushered in by the ARRA Stimulus in 2013, along with the introduction of ICD10 coding, and the analysis gets exponentially more complicated. Unfortunately, for most physicians the days when simply practicing medicine to be financially comfortable are gone. The formula for profitability (revenues minus expenses), while still accurate, is too insufficient to create an accurate picture of your practice’s financial performance.
