Impact of ACA on the Revenue Cycle Continuum
Front End Changing Payer Mix Patient Experience Increased Patient Payment Responsibility With a newly insured patient population becoming a part of the payer mix, hospitals can expect to face challenges in collecting accurate information from patients to ensure financial clearance for the reason of visit. Increased patient volumes and utilization can result in patient dissatisfaction attributed to long waits, manual patient access processes, lack of knowledge about payment responsibilities, and lack of communication tied to poor customer service. Increasing financial obligations of the patients under new coverage options will force hospitals to improve financial counseling and upfront collection from patients. Back End Complex Reimbursement Structures Higher Balance After Insurance Patient Satisfaction Hospitals struggle in submitting accurate claims and capturing accurate charges due to complexity of new payer contracts and complicated coding requirements (ICD 10), resulting in increased denials, underpayments, and claims resubmissions. Poor estimation of patient responsibility at point of service could result in lost revenue which will be difficult to collect post service. Poor and unfriendly account resolution and lack of patient focused customer service can affect hospitals’ patient satisfaction scores, which in turn affects hospitals’ bottom line in the form of penalties.
