New Course from AHCA on Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Academy

AHCA has launched Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Academy, an online training program that educates facilities of all sizes on the interdisciplinary approach toward revenue management. RCM Academy covers the process from pre-admission to payment, and includes topics such as claims submission, third-party follow-up, strategies to navigate managed care, and best practices associated with coordinating with MDS coding leads. Participants will learn about the attributes of high performing teams, systems to assure proper and timely payment, and best practices for managing all payer sources to maximize revenue and minimize avoidable losses. To bolster the learning experience RCM Academy includes short videos profiling providers’ experiences running effective RCM programs, and additional webinars and resources will be developed throughout the year.

“As reimbursement models move from fee-for-service toward value-based reimbursement, more complex patient characteristic-based methodologies and accurate claims processes must extend beyond billing offices. SNFs operating without successful and integrative Revenue Cycle Management may be receiving insufficient payment for the care they deliver. Developing and implementing successful Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) strategies will coordinate the clinical and administrative functions necessary to improve patient outcomes, ensure timely and accurate collections, and lower administrative costs.

The cost of the course is $350 for AHCA/NCAL members and $650 for non-members. Upon successful completion, the course is approved for 6.75 NAB CEs. Participants will need to login to ahcancalED with their AHCA/NCAL usernames and passwords to register for Revenue Cycle Management Academy. For assistance obtaining usernames and passwords, members should e-mail educate@ahca.org with their name and facility contact information.
