"You have taken me on an upward positive focus" "Acucare has been motivating, inspiring, upbeat, and very organized" |
Q: My health care practice is not profitable. I am not penetrating my market well. I would like to retain your services to help turn my organization around. How can I afford Acucare?
A: Do not let your current financial situation hold you back from contacting us. In fact, your situation is exactly why you need us. At Acucare Health Strategies we want to create win-win relationships. We are willing to invest our resources to help you succeed and turn your organization around. We can help you find new ways to boost profitability and become a market leader. Shared risk is done within regulatory parameters and consistent with all government payer requirements. Contact us and we will create a plan that meets your needs.
Q: I am worried about compliance issues. My director of compliance position is vacant and I need to find someone to fill the position. How can Acucare help me?
A: Compliance issues are central to your organization's long-term heath and success. Too often employers hire someone internally to fill a vacant director of compliance position just to have someone on the job. We can provide you with short-term staffing to help you focus on achieving regulatory and clinical compliance.
Q: We are compliant, moderately profitable, and already have an established client base. How could we benefit by working with Acucare?
A: Regardless of your size, if you are not leading your market and operating efficiently, Acucare Health Strategies can help you build grassroots and define and pursue growth goals. If you are a national company looking to expand into new markets we will analyze the current market, complete your licenses and applications, and help you find and hire the right staff. We enable your current staff to focus on your existing business while we focus on the start-up. We can open the location, do the administrative legwork, and then integrate the new operation.
Q: Our medical practice is experiencing severe growing pains. As we have expanded and added staff we have lost some of our efficiency. What can Acucare do to help us reengineer our office?
A: We assist clients to maximize the use of their existing resources by examining workflow, defining staff roles, and creating an end-to-end service plan. We work with you to draft and implement an operational efficiency plan to ensure that your patients' needs are met. We redesign and create new processes to meet defined service level agreements with your internal and external customers. We help you enhance revenues, lower costs, deliver superb patient care, and maximize patient satisfaction.
Q: I suspect fraud by one of our contractors. How can Acucare help?
A: At Acucare Health Strategies our leadership and management team members are compliance focused and will identify issues related to Standards of Care practices, Conditions of Participation, JCAHO, NCQA, and CHAP regulations. When you suspect fraud, you must act quickly. We will identify the root causes of suspected fraud or abuse, develop a plan to help you assess your risk areas, improve your internal controls, and create new processes to reduce risk of potential fraud or abuse. We review all of your and your contractors' records. We verify information, audit your contractors' practices, and, as a value-added service, we have partnered with nationally recognized prestigious law firms to provide you with necessary legal counsel. Being regulatory and clinically compliant is crucial to remaining viable and profitable.
Q: Our margins are thin. How can Acucare increase our profits?
A: We can create and implement a cohesive marketing strategy to increase business volume, redesign internal operations, reduce operating costs, identify ways to boost growth, convert referrals, find new revenue streams, and reduce days sales outstanding. For for-profit entities, finding new ways to boost profitability means increased shareholder earnings and expanded patient care capability. For nonprofit organizations, increased profits means more money to invest in the communities they support and more resources toward improved patient care.
