How to Increase Hospitalist Collections
Sep 19, 2022
The best way to keep your hospitalist practice running smoothly is to increase your collections. If you follow these steps, you can improve your billing and free up time to see more patients.
Tip #1
Outsource Your Practice’s Billing
One way to streamline your medical billing processes is to outsource them to an external company. This can free up your own time for more patients as well as ensure that claims are handled in a timely and accurate fashion. Plus, you and your staff won’t need to spend time training on updated codes.
Tip #2
Streamline Your Billing In-House
If you’d prefer to keep your medical billing within your practice, then it’s important to streamline the process. It’s best to choose just one person who will always be in charge of the billing. This can help to improve the speed at which claims are made and also improve accuracy because the dedicated employee has the training and knowledge to better handle collections.
Tip #3
See More Patients
Once you’ve either outsourced your billing or streamlined the process in-house, you’ll have more time to take on more patients. You only have so many hours each day, so one or the other is necessary in order to free up that time for more patients.

"My husband and I have a small practice but we were looking for a medical billing company to consult us. We originally started with a local company with some satisfaction. However, our biggest problem was that they wanted us to change our existing EMR to software that they worked with. Quest National Services worked with our existing software so that we didn’t have to make expensive changes to our infrastructure. That saved us a lot of time and headache. I would definitely say that was one of the main reasons for why we switched and why we continue to work with Quest. As a small practice, they helped us without draining our resources."
