Unlock Revenue Potential and Improve Patient Outcomes with Expert Physician Advisory Services
In today’s challenging healthcare environment, hospitals like yours are facing immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes while managing rising operational costs. The increasing complexity of payer requirements, coupled with evolving regulatory standards, can make it difficult to achieve financial and clinical goals.
At Acumen Health Solutions, we understand the unique challenges you face and the critical need for solutions that deliver measurable impact. Led by Dr. Fawaz Habeeb, a seasoned physician advisor with over 17 years of combined clinical and administrative experience, our services are designed to directly address the most pressing pain points affecting hospital performance.
Are You Struggling with These Challenges?
High Denial Rates and Lost Revenue: Insurance denials not only drain your hospital’s financial resources but also create operational inefficiencies. Our proven expertise in utilization review and peer-to-peer discussions can help overturn denials and ensure your patients are in the right status, protecting your revenue streams and reducing post-discharge downgrades.
Long Length of Stay (LOS): Lengthy hospital stays not only tie up valuable resources but also lower patient satisfaction and increase costs. We specialize in identifying inefficiencies in care planning and discharge processes, working closely with your physicians and care teams to streamline patient flow and reduce unnecessary days spent in the hospital.
Subpar Documentation Leading to Poor Quality Metrics: Incomplete or inaccurate clinical documentation can lead to poor mortality and quality scores, impacting your hospital’s reputation and reimbursement. We provide targeted education and support to physicians, improving documentation accuracy that reflects the true severity of illness and risk of mortality, which in turn enhances your quality metrics.
Barriers to Post-Acute Care Authorization: Obtaining insurance authorization for skilled nursing facilities (SNF), rehab, or home health can be a major roadblock to efficient discharge planning. Our experience in navigating payer criteria and authorizations ensures your patients get timely access to the care they need post-discharge, reducing costly delays and preventing bottlenecks in your throughput.
