November 10, 2020
Mark, Ray, and Scott talk with Larry Kemp, FACHE about assessing your business practices, digging deep to identify the core problem, developing a road map, and then solving the root of the problem. Larry points out that "Being Paid is Not the Same as Paid Accurately".
You have to make sure you efficient in the things you can control in your practice. It is hard to extract more income from payers unless you have leverage in that market. But you do have options to limit exposure to the bad actors.
