The ProSource Advantage: A Self Pay Case Study
June 2010
ProSource recovers Self Pay accounts receivable for many healthcare facilities of varying size, location, patient type and demographic. Our Self Pay solution is designed to improve recoveries and results beyond standard in-house Self Pay programs. These improvements can be quantified; results in action are outlined in the following case study.
Client
Twin cities based health system with more than 400 health care providers and more than 30 different clinics providing services ranging from basic medical needs to surgery at locations throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.
Situation Analysis
Our client had a legacy of poor Self Pay recovery and lacked staff expertise in this area. The Director of Revenue Cycle weighed the option of hiring a new business office manager versus outsourcing; ultimately deciding to outsource their Self Pay to ProSource; making us their business office manager.
ProSource Solution
