As a leading provider of ambulatory surgery center (ASC) revenue cycle solutions began to take on more clients, its revenue cycle team struggled to keep up with patient phone calls. Without clear job responsibilities, staff found themselves wearing many hats and becoming burned out by a seemingly insurmountable volume of work.
As they labored to get claims out the door, nearly 300 patients a day left voicemails to ask billing questions, make payments, or learn about financial assistance programs. With no time to call them back, aging patient accounts receivable (A/R) began to skyrocket. So did patient frustration as communications went unanswered and call abandon rates reached all-time highs.
We started handling calls for five ASCs. However, the client quickly saw the value of having a team dedicated to answering patient calls. Now we handle 50+ centers. – Kristine Eisset Asiner, Call Center Manager at Global Healthcare Resource
