REVENUE CYCLE
The Revenue Cycle encompasses activities involved with the patient visit to ensure quality healthcare is delivered whether in-person or via telehealth and your facility is compliantly and optimally reimbursed for services provided. AFC's ability to organize complex ideas into easy-to-understand solutions can help assess strengths and vulnerabilities by providing detailed and solution-driven analysis.
ANALYSIS
