In an effort to keep up with the healthcare industry demands, and ultimately improve their bottom lines, many healthcare providers and payers try to bring together claims processing, billing, finance, electronic data interchange, and analytical systems from a variety of software vendors.

VersaSuite-HIS can pull all of that together. VersaSuite provides revenue cycle management solutions that can extend the capabilities of your hospital information system and play a key role in improving access management, accelerating cash collection, and improving payer performance.

Access Management
Using a clearing house in your healthcare revenue cycle enables you to determine not only insurance eligibility but also the ability and willingness of payers to cover claims.  By including medical necessity checking during registration, scheduling, and ordering, VersaSuite can help reduce denials of claims. VersaSuite’s solutions enable physician and hospital staff to accurately authorize services, determine and validate coverage for payment, and assess payment risk.

Accelerating Cash Collection
After services are delivered, VersaSuite-HIS can provide electronic claims processing, direct entry of Medicare claims, automatic secondary billing, remittance posting, document image retrieval, contract and denial management, and financial analysis. These solutions will maximize your revenue capture and streamline your billing and collection processes.

Improving Payer Performance
VersaSuite provides reporting capabilities and financial data analysis so hospitals can better manage and monitor payer contracts. Sophisticated accounting tools enable you to analyze performance and manage terms and revenues. With the growing financial pressures on healthcare, organizations are forced to seek innovative strategies to improve revenue cycle performance. More than ever, healthcare organizations need a business partner that can help them improve access management, accelerate cash collections, and improve payer performance.
