As the numbers of uninsured and underinsured patients continue to grow to an estimated 56 million by 2013, hospitals are increasingly challenged to find ways to generate revenue to cover services provided to these patients. Early determination of eligibility for governmental, charitable or other social service assistance plays a vital role in securing compensation.
By consulting with The Outsource Group, hospitals increase the likelihood of qualifying patients for financial assistance in a timely manner. Initially, to facilitate the application process, The Outsource Group provides assistance in prescreening for Medicaid eligibility. The experience and software tools utilized by The Outsource Group not only speed the application process, but also provide reporting documentation necessary to meet the requirements of State and Federal agencies.
