Billing Optimization

When building a house, a strong foundation is imperative.  When building or contracting with an anesthesia group, maximizing the revenue cycle serves as the foundation of business performance.  Whether you are a hospital paying an anesthesia subsidy or a group trying to maximize profitability, it is in your best interest to monitor and optimize anesthesia revenue realized from payers and patients.
