SCALE RCM completed an assessment of a private equity backed orthopaedic practice.  SCALE found deficiencies in the denial and AR management process affecting cashflow and collections.  The average response time to a denial was nearly 18 days.  Additionally, SCALE identified rule engine overrides by the internal billing team that almost always resulted in denials.  SCALE provided clear examples to the client to review with their billing vendor and internal team and recommended additional monitoring and measuring of these processes as a KPI.
