OPERATIONAL AND CLINICAL COST ANALYSIS

Do you know the cost of delivering care to a patient? Per Payer? Per Provider? Per CPT? If you are interested in this level of analysis MedInd Group’s proprietary system and assessment team can assist you. We will look at all aspects of practice operations and clinical care from product acquisition, patient acquisition, procedural costs, patient flow, billing and collections, and provider and staff reimbursement. Until a true cost analysis is completed it is difficult to know how to increase profitability while providing optimal necessary patient care.
