The challenges of running a successful medical practice are many.
Meeting the daily needs of staff, collections, cash management, and other non-routine important issues can be overwhelming. We meet these challenges head-on. HCSLV combine their years of experience in solving problems so that you can concentrate on being the best doctor possible.
Staff & Human Resources
Working with people can be a very rewarding…and very challenging. Let HCSLV help ease your burden by implementing some simple, yet effective ground rules with a professional employee handbook. Another key to a successful practice begins with proper hiring. It’s not just hiring competent people – it’s also finding people that can work as a cohesive team to create a positive environment for your patients. Sometimes counseling and dismissals are necessary. We handle this task so you avoid both conflict.
HCSLV handles recruiting, background checks, and screening to build the best team to match your personality and style. Building a successful medical team is an art. Our formal employee evaluation system is the result of 25 years of evaluating employees and getting the best performance from staff members.
Billing & Coding
Billing, Coding and Collections is the life blood of your practice. It is common to outsource billing & collections but this can often be a critical error.
Never outsource a task unless you know how to do it yourself – this is the only way you can manage the process – and it must be managed.
Billing Audit – Our qualified staff can audit your accounts receivable and you will know where you stand compared to expected standards. We also provide tools to manage the process for maximum results.
Medicare Rules & Reimbursement
Have you ever been audited by Medicare? Cuts are coming and so is greater scrutiny. Know and comply with the rules or face draconian oversight and charge backs.
HCSLV specialists will ensure that your practice is compliant with current rules and will see that you are paid what you are due. We’ll work with you to implement internal controls and help train the staff to assure quality and avoid any penalties.
Proper Cash Management
“I trust my staff.” So do we, but that doesn’t mean that you offer temptation.
“My staff is competent.” Probably, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find lost checks behind the desk, under the keyboard or behind the drawers.
We implement simple, standard cash & check management that assures that your money gets to the bank and into your account quickly and accurately.
You earned it– you deserve to keep it.
Risk Management
The practice of medicine has changed. It is now necessary to carefully explore all areas of health care delivery to expose potential risks and mitigate them. Our 10 page questionnaire helps us uncover areas of exposure to lessen your risk of loss or lawsuit.
We can sometimes improve your medical malpractice rates as well.
Technology Solutions
So many choices – you could devote months of free time just to choose
one piece of office software. Or you can delegate much of the research to us.
New technology is developed constantly. We keep an eye on it so you can focus on providing care.
