There is a fundamental shift occurring in healthcare reimbursement models. I help small to medium size hospitals, healthcare BI organizations, and consulting firms navigate this change from volume to value seamlessly. There is ever-increasing pressure in today's healthcare market to cut costs and brace for more declining reimbursement rates. How do you know if your payer contracts are fair for your market? How do you know if you're doing everything you can to contain costs?I have 20 years of cost accounting experience and have worked with hospitals and other healthcare organizations around the world. My clients have seen an increase in reimbursement rates and decrease in direct costs leading to total contribution margin increases of up to 60% for their high-impact DRGs. At health systems like Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Rady Children's Hospital, Indiana University Health, and Ardent Health Systems I developed and honed costing templates, data governance and reconciliation best practices, service line reporting suites, and even a healthcare cost accounting curriculum. I help my clients to accurately and timely perform Service Line Profitability analysis that will aid in the following (just to name a few):• Managed care contract negotiation • Equipment acquisition decisions• Physician cost profiling.In addition, ancillary benefits include: • More accurate departmental financial reporting• Better Chargemaster and billing practices• Cleaner General Ledger• Standardization of your Materials Management policies and procedures.Christie Scanlonchristie@scanlonent.net843-364-6948
