Do not miss this wonderful webinar on the 3 Ways to Expand Access to Care While Increasing Cashflow held by Region 4 HFMA. Brief Description: As high-deductible plans become more prevalent, the affordability of care influences both care access and practice/hospital cashflow. It’s well known that patients delay or avoid care if they believe they can’t afford it. And if care is delivered, collecting patient financial responsibility is a challenge for many revenue cycle teams.
