Fairfield Medical Center Selects Concuity to Improve Reimbursement
Vernon Hills, Ill., May 3, 2006 - Concuity, a trusted provider of healthcare revenue cycle reimbursement solutions, today announced that Fairfield Medical Center, based in Lancaster, Ohio has selected Concuity’s web-based ClearContracts(tm) revenue cycle management system to help them improve their revenue cycle and process more accounts internally. “We chose Concuity’s solution because it will enable us to efficiently identify contractual non-compliance issues and increase reimbursement,” said Sky Gettys, chief financial officer for Fairfield Medical Center. “Using ClearContracts, we anticipate we’ll be able to minimize the use of outside agencies for patient account processing. The system’s reimbursement sophistication and automated workflows will enable our patient accounting team to handle more accounts. The efficiency and accuracy of this application will give us the bandwidth to process our own accounts with greater care and attention than any outside vendor could.” “The patient accounting systems and reimbursement calculation tools used in many hospitals simply cannot handle the reimbursement challenges of today’s business office,” said Robert E. Watson, president and CEO of Concuity “As a result, many hospitals reluctantly turn to outsourcing as a solution. We give hospitals like Fairfield Medical Center a better way. ClearContracts’ automated ASP environment offers a comprehensive and scalable way for hospitals to completely manage their reimbursement process with an unprecedented level of efficiency and ease.”
