NYC dermatology practice finds everything it needs with eCW Usually, when something seems too good to be true, it turns out not to be true. But for Gil Messer, chief operating officer of The Dermatology Specialists (TDS), the largest such specialty practice in New York City, what seemed too good to be true really was true — and then some. TDS first engaged eClinicalWorks for Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) services in 2007, when they launched their practice with a single office. Seventeen years and 40 additional sites later, Messer said the need for optimizing their RCM services was clear. “About April of last year,” Messer said, “we had hit a breaking point, where we realized it wasn't sustainable and the root cause was ¬— it was designed and built for that single provider office back in 2007.” With 41 offices and 15 different payer websites to navigate, Messer said that he and his colleagues were having to engage in manual intervention on many claims and were running into a large number of submission errors, leading to administrative headaches, delays in getting paid, and a rising number of days for accounts receivable (A/R).

From front office to RCM, robotic process automation can help the bottom line Is there anything better than finding free money? The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a Pennsylvania-based sustainable-waste processing company, Reworld, that is reclaiming some of the estimated $68 million in coins that Americans toss in the trash every year. It turns out that those pennies, nickels and dimes add up. Reworld has recovered about $10 million in coins over seven years. Clear (and cleaner!) savings through RPA Healthcare practices have even more powerful and more lucrative ways to capture savings — ones that don’t require sorting, washing, and counting small metal discs. That path to better financial health involves applying artificial intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to day-to-day operations. It is among the most financially sound steps any practice can take. Why the money and savings matter As every practice administrator knows, billing costs are enormous. A recent Health Affairs report found medical practices spend about $30 billion annually on billing. That is likely a low estimate, as it is based on data from 2009.
