Efficiency = Increases Cash Flow, Bottom Line & Practice Value

Many medical practices find difficulty identifying inefficiencies or implementing corrective actions identified as inefficiencies. Many medical practices fail to establish `Key Financial Indicators’ (KFI’s) or operations benchmarks for such areas as: Average Revenues/Patient Visit, Revenues to Total Procedures, Fluctuations in Procedure Code Levels, Average Days Revenues (ADR), Days Revenue Outstanding (DRO), Days in A/R and Delinquency Tolerance Ratios (DTRs) and tracking amounts allowed and reimbursement levels by ALL contracted insurance payers.

These critical financial measurements are absent in many practices having 7 and fewer physicians. URS Billing Services provides these and much more key data to all of its clients.  The success of today’s medical practice requires pinpointing weaknesses and taking necessary corrective actions. Measure! Evaluate! Take Action!

Key Operation Benchmarks Which Are Monthly Tracked Per Physician:
-    Charges
-    Revenues
-    Adjustments
-    Net Ending A/R including net change from previous month
-    Percent Revenues to Gross Charges
-    Total Patient Visits
-    Average Revenues Per Visit
-    Establish / Measure Delinquency Tolerance Ratios for A/R
-    Establish / Measure Revenue Sources to Total Revenues
-    Establish / Measure ADR Targets
-    Establish / Measure NDRO Targets
-    Establish / Measure Days in A/R
-    Establish / Measure Revenues For Top 15 CPT Codes
-    Establish Solid Relationships With ALL contracted Insurance Providers

Once these Key Operations benchmarks are established, correctly monitored and managed, along with `alert algorithms’, profits and cash flow will begin to rise. Physicians will be able to draw paychecks the same day as employees.

How to Increase the Value of Your Practice, by Managing Director, Richard L. Tamburello

Increase the Value of Your Practice

In today’s economy many physicians are fearful of seeing the value of their practices evaporate. Two primary reasons are stagnate and declining insurance reimbursements.  Other reasons include uncertainty with respect to federal tax policies, mandatory insurance coverage, higher employee payroll taxes, etc.  These can all have a direct effect on valuing your medical practice.

If you were to draw two lines on a graph, one showing gross revenues the other employee costs, the two will likely show trends of moving closer or worse, intersecting, hence impacting cash flow, your bottom-line and the value of your practice.  In past years, the area between the two was likely much greater.

Medical practices should consider and evaluate the financial benefits of contracting with a proven medical billing service organization.  This is the best way to effectively manage and control most billing and collection related costs.  URS Billing Services, LLC has the proven method of ensuring the area between revenues and billing costs never intersect, resulting in improvement in cash flow and profitability. URS takes great pride in servicing its clients medical billing needs and making sure financial goals are met each for each reporting period.
