Accelerating Patient Payments–

a free webinar from Rivet Health

Patient A/R is an ever-increasing focus for many practices. Deductibles alone have changed the game as they’ve ballooned over 200% in the last decade. You can’t guarantee payment, but you can improve your patient financial experience and (in turn) collect more, faster. We’ll discuss the following strategies to accelerate your cash:

  • introducing the financial component earlier in the revenue cycle
  • communicating with patients through modern platforms
  • and digitizing payment channels.

By increasing patient financial transparency you’ll not only accelerate payments and collect more, you’ll also improve the patient experience. This will lead to a happier patient base, a broader referral network, lower A/R, fewer balances going to collections and a highly efficient team focused on outstanding balances.

Does your patient access team need a better line of sight?

Thursday, March 23 | 2-3 p.m. ET

If you’ve ever found yourself driving into dense fog, you know how bewildering it feels to be tasked with improving patient access. Often, there’s little visibility into the future and not enough lead time to react optimally.

We’ll tackle all of that and more in our March 23rd webinar: Improving patient access efficiency with a better line of sight.

In this session, our team will clear away the haze to help your team cut down on error-prone processes, build up lead time, and improve visibility. We’ll share strategies to help you:

  • Improve access and collect more upfront
  • Boost your top line while improving the patient experience
  • Help staff be more proactive, productive, and satisfied by giving them time to correct errors in advance
