The Business Side of Medicine
Business of Medicine: A vital part of physician education
It's not news that healthcare has changed, and continues to shift, as we move away from Fee-for-Service (FFS) towards value-based care (VBC). In recent years, education on the business side of medicine has gone from relatively scarce to being offered at conferences and by industry partners. In this Q&A conversation with Dr. Michael Ast, attending Orthopaedic Surgeon at Hospital For Special Surgery, we learn more about the history of physician sentiment towards this topic, how it's impacted the healthcare industry, and suggestions for physicians looking to better understand VBC.
ASC Revenue Cycle
Your ASC's bottom line can be stronger. Here's how to get there.
Whether you're overseeing a young, single-specialty ASC trying to get its financials in order; a large, multi-specialty center with years of success under its belt; or any other type of surgery center, all types of ASCs are outsourcing their revenue cycle. These different ASCs often have varying reasons for why they are increasingly choosing outsourcing over in-house revenue cycle management (RCM).
