Global Revenue Cycle Services - Signature Performance
Global Revenue Cycle Services
Signature can help you meet your reimbursement, compliance, data quality and staffing goals through our suite of services from Patient Appointing to Denial Management, with expertise at every step along the way. We specialize in off-site medical billing, collection and follow-up, as well as staffing and program management for medical support services.
In addition to standard service contracts, we have developed an On-Site Revenue Cycle Performance Assessment to identify opportunities for improvement and enhance operational efficiency at your facility. Through our years of experience and subject matter expertise in all facets of the revenue cycle, our team can uncover issues that otherwise go unnoticed. As proficient back-end output relies heavily on front-end actions, this solution is designed to link people and process across the entire revenue cycle.
Phase 1: Pre-Assessment
As the first step, our team, in conjunction with the facility leadership, will perform a pre-assessment to understand the specific needs of the facility and identify the areas of focus.
Phase 2: On-Site Assessment Visit
During phase 2, Signature’s team of revenue cycle experts will conduct the in-depth on-site assessment from all angles of day-to-day operations to identify gaps and collect data. We will utilize our comprehensive evaluation tailored for the type of facility.
Phase 3: Analysis and Action Plan
Once the on-site assessment is completed, our team will analyze the findings and develop a detailed action plan with recommendations and strategies aligned with your facility’s specific goals.
Phase 4: On-going Services and Support
As services and process improvements are implemented, your facility will continue to have access to Signature’s team of experts for any day-to-day on-going support.
