2Maximize Your Collections For Ambulatory Surgery
Centres (ASC)
- Collecting from patients has become a growing
challenge for ASCs in recent years. A
growth replicated the continued rise in patient
financial responsibility, even after insurance.
As patients financial responsibility for
healthcare costs has shifted, ambulatory surgery
centres must commit more attention and resources
to collect these higher amounts. In fact, they
are making every effort to do so while keeping in
mind the stress and struggle that some patients
face in covering personal expenses. Regardless of
the growing challenges that ambulatory surgery
centres collections and their patients face, ASCs
must make sure that they have practices in place
to assist them in collecting what patients owe
for their treatment.

3Strategies to maximize the collections for your
Ambulatory Surgery Centre's (ASCs)
- Devise a defined collections policy
- Its critical for ambulatory surgery centres to
have a clear collections policy that patients
understand even prior to their arrival. The ASC
is more likely to collect if patients understand
their accountabilities and when bills are due.
From the moment patients walk through the door,
the ASC must have a written policy in place
outlining how they will handle collections. - Revise billing statements
- Many ambulatory surgery centres fail to invoice
patients correctly or use ambiguous language in
their billing statements. The breakdown of the
aging budget is one of the most significant flaws
in billing statements. Thereby, the patients see
this and assume the payment isnt due until the
last payment date. In this case, the best
solution is to change the statements to remove
the aging and include a specific date for the
next payment.

4- Go after late payments early
- Late payments must always be pursued
aggressively. You should have a clearly defined
collections policy outlining a specific set of
actions to collect late payments, and you must
take these steps right away. According to the
research, the more you contact a person on the
front end for payment, the better your chances of
getting paid. In fact, sending a statement every
30 days is unacceptable. You require a system
that allows for more contact early in the
process. - Furthermore, in-house ASCs billing operations
must be more successful in collecting payments.
In such a scenario, there is a need to look for
budget-friendly systems to digitalize the entire
collection process.

5Outsource ASC Billing and Coding to Maximize your
Collections
- The success of your Ambulatory Surgical Centre
(ASC) depends not only on patient satisfaction
but also on an accurate medical billing services.
When your ASC loses money due to revenue cycle
mismanagement, your facility is put at
unnecessary risk of losing more revenue than it
earns, resulting in highly stressful conditions. - One of the many issues that plague a private
Ambulatory Surgery Centre is the lack of adequate
collections from the patients for the services
offered. In addition to such issues are the
constant changes in medical coding. In fact,
regulatory changes are constantly being updated,
and they can affect how you handle your ASC
billing process. It is costly to be unable to
keep up with these changes.
