2005 Exhibitors

Providing healthcare is a $600 billion industry in the US, involving mostly not-for-profit organizations which experience significant challenges in collecting revenues owed to them by government payors, insurance companies and patients. Beyond direct patient care services these revenue cycle issues are among the most critical facing healthcare providers, which on average only make about 2% in operating margins. The revenue cycle is a tremendously complex continuum of integrated functions ranging from pre-registration, scheduling and admissions; to medical records and coding; to billing, collections and contractual compliance. Superior revenue cycle performance provides the margins and investment capital required to enhance medical services and address unmet community needs.

Accretive Health is a built-for-purpose company with the sole focus of generating significant, sustainable improvements in net revenue for healthcare providers through dramatically improved revenue cycle processes and execution rigor.

The result is to more than double average operating margins while improving patient satisfaction from fast efficient registration all the way through patient friendly billing. Our revenue cycle operating model also provides extensive capabilities in identifying and securing funding for uninsured patients going beyond conventional Medicaid and disability programs.
