Q & A

Question:

Help! My nursing facility’s cash flow has slowed to a trickle, and I don’t know if this problem is unique to us, or if everyone else is also struggling. It seems that billing requirements are becoming more cumbersome.

Answer:

Billing is becoming more of a challenge, especially due to the increase in managed care contracts that many facilities are participating in. One common statistic used to measure collections is the Days in Accounts Receivable. Here is a breakdown for your state:

  • Statewide Average (733 facilities): 41.65 days
  • Statewide Average-For Profit facilities: 40.76 days
  • Statewide Average-Non Profit facilities: 45.30 days
  • Your facility: 55.71 days

It does look like you are having a more difficult time getting the cash in the door. We can assist you in analyzing your accounts receivables aging report to see if the problem is across all payer types, or if maybe just one or two are giving you challenges. We can also assist you in billing best practice tips to ensure that you are doing everything possible to get your claims sent, and followed up on, in a timely manner.

Question:

My Business Office Manager is going on maternity leave. We don’t want to get behind on billing or collection. How do I prepare to cover her duties during her absence?

Answer:

It is critical to plan coverage so your cash flow is not disrupted. We can assist you in determining what responsibilities can be handled by your existing staff. Then, we will work with you to develop a plan to fill any gaps in coverage. We can provide on-site as well as remote support for all of your Business Office needs from census and cash posting to claim processing, submission and collection.
