FEE SCHEDULE ANALYSIS

The fee schedule for any practice is an important component that affects profitability and revenues. It is important to set the fee schedules comparable to the market and at an optimal rate in order to secure profits and avoid long-term losses. With The Rybar Group’s Fee Schedule Analysis, our consultants will perform an assessment of your top procedures and provide market analysis.

PRACTICE VALUATION

Our practice valuation will provide a report that estimates the fair market value of the physician practice specified based on applicable valuation methods. Equipment appraisal services are also available upon request.

OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT

In today’s fiscal environment, proactive organizations need to evaluate their practice operations to ensure the use of best practices. The operation of any physician practice is a complicated process with many different functions and systems. Our consultants provide an end-to-end process review from the patient and physician perspective, eliminating inefficiencies, improving controls and shortening cycle times. The outcome is a more efficient workflow and improved financial performance for the practice.

DENIALS REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT

Most denials are preventable, but many practices experience hundreds of thousands of dollars unpaid or delayed because of inefficient processes. A significant challenge for providers today is interpreting the billing and coding requirements of a variety of payors. The Rybar Group’s Denial Reduction and Management Program offers detailed insight into the components affecting your revenue. RGI will perform an in-depth analysis of your remittance advice and denials to determine root causes, patterns and breakdowns responsible for denials. We can assist you in developing effective techniques to streamline your processes, establish corrective steps to prevent future revenue loss or delay, and ensure that you are receiving the optimal payment. RGI is available to implement this process within your practice, and consultants with years of experience working for providers are able to implement these proven and effective strategies.
