Revenue Cycle Management
July 28, 2025
Monday 1:00pm – 2:30pm PST
Managing the revenue cycle well is vital to the survivability of your health care organization. And as your organization grows, the more patients you will see, and the more data you will collect. The more data you have to manage, the more chance for error and loss. Your clinic might be large enough to devote a team to revenue cycle management, or you may only have one person for this function. In any case, attention to each of these steps in the medical revenue cycle will help you succeed in having seamless revenue cycle processes in place.
Objectives:
-
Identify how key operational areas - Front Office, Provider Enrollment, Billing, AR, Denials, and Credit Balances - impact the revenue cycle.
-
Understand the role of training, communication, and staff retention in maintaining a healthy revenue cycle.
-
Recognize the importance of leadership (C-Suite) awareness and engagement in the revenue cycle process.
-
Emphasize the need for cross-departmental collaboration to ensure overall revenue cycle success.
