Revenue Advisory

Clarity first: KPI blueprints, QA & coverage design, and evidence-linked dashboards — then a pilot that proves lift in clean claims, denials, and cash.

When to Use Revenue Advisory

  • Clean-claim rate is below target; payer edits and rejections create rework
  • DSO trending up; AR aging and underpayments not visible by payer/class
  • Denial categories lack root-cause ownership and feedback loops
  • Coverage windows and handoffs cause TAT misses and backlogs
  • Stakeholders disagree on success; you need objective KPIs and gates

Typical Deliverables

  • RCM KPI Blueprint: CCR, TATs, FPY/Rework, Denial mix & Overturn %
  • Defect taxonomy and AQL targets with calibration cadence
  • Coverage model: shifts, surge buffers sized to forecast error
  • Evidence tiles: link artifacts (eligibility, edits, EOBs) to checks
  • Pilot plan: scope, sample sizes, success thresholds, rollback criteria
  • Commercial options: staffed pods, full-service billing, or hybrid QA
Format
Diagnostic Sprint (1–2 weeks)
  • Data snapshot (payer mix, denials, AR buckets) + workflow mapping
  • Outputs: KPI blueprint, defect classes, coverage math, dashboard spec
  • Recommended before you commit to staffing or outcomes
Format
Pilot Blueprint (2–4 weeks)
  • Test design with sample sizes and acceptance gates
  • Outputs: SOP/playbook updates, evidence tiles, change control
  • Leads straight into a managed or staffed pilot
Format
Controls Tune-Up (targeted)
  • Focus lane (e.g., charge entry, AR follow-up, refunds, credentialing)
  • Outputs: revised SOPs, QA checklist, training plan & ramp

KPIs We Blueprint

  • Clean Claim Rate (first-pass acceptance)
  • Submission TAT (charge entry → payer submit)
  • Clearinghouse Rejection Rate & rework TAT
  • Denial Rate & Overturn % by class/payer
  • Days in AR (DSO) and Net Collection %
  • Underpayment detection & recovery yield
