Timely billing of all accounts is a cornerstone of an effective revenue cycle, and ensuring that all bills are submitted with the correct information is an underlying goal of any billing department.  While Patient Access is an easy entity to blame, the source is typically addressed once it is quantified initially and tracked systematically. 

Apollo Health Street’s billing services focus on two things, 1) minimizing delays prior to bills being submitted to payers, and 2) to provide a unique insight into the “upstream” areas that are the underlying causes of downstream billing delays.  By focusing on addressing these two key aspects with our proprietary tools and processes, Apollo Health Street is able to help our clients dramatically reduce their A/R.  In addition, due to the proactive Six Sigma approach of defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling key upstream metrics, recurring billing issues are identified and remedied at the source reducing future rework.
