Hospitals all over the country have recovered millions of dollars thanks to Accuro's suite of revenue cycle management solutions.
"In addition to helping us claim revenue that is rightfully owed to us, the tools have greatly enhanced Allina's ability to conduct fact-based and data driven negotiations with a highly sophisticated tool that is extremely user friendly." – Janet Coenen, director of payor relations and contracting
"Each facility has benefited from a streamlined claims review process and the ability to effectively monitor payments from all payors, enhancing productivity and financial performance – and doing so with fewer outside resources, which results in a net savings." – Valerie Woodbury, director of revenue integrity
"Accuro is a critical piece of our value proposition because the information it provides speaks directly to our clean claim rate." – Andrea Nielsen, product manager
"We conducted an audit of our cardiac services and found 20 codes on our chargemaster that were outdated, incorrect or missing. Based on the volumes, we calculated the missing revenue at $3.7 million." – Karen Schmidt, RN, MS, CPC, chargemaster coordinator
"CodeCorrect Knowledge has really expanded how much I can get done in a day. I don't think I could do my job properly if I didn't have access to it. Accuro opened everyone's eyes as to how many changes are occurring. Everyone is quoting Accuro as a trusted resource on changes." – Ned Kitchen, decision support manager
"Everyone now understands that a failed claim won't pay. Before, when an EOB would state 'incorrect diagnosis' as the reason for denial, some people would ask me to override it manually or merely resubmit the claim without making the correction. Now we send clean claims out and we get paid. That's the name of the game." – Marti L. Beazell, billing manager
"Because we now have the ability to determine the financial impact of reducing prices, we can better position ourselves to compete for certain services. Accuro Pricing has given us the ability to be more strategic in setting fair and rational prices while providing us with the assurance that we aren't making dangerous financial decisions." – Christopher Janik, executive director of reimbursement and decision support
"Accuro has become an integral part of Clarian's business processes. This tool has fixed a 'system error' so that Clarian is now capturing revenue that it was inappropriately writing off just a few months ago. And we are absolutely more compliant." – Marie LeClerc, RN, charge integrity analyst
"We find tremendous value in Accuro's ability to work an account the minute it becomes underpaid. Combining the power of Accuro Contract Manager with the expertise of the Accuro Recovery Services team has allowed us to better understand the specific elements of managed care underpayments and address them in a more timely fashion." – Bob Perry, director of patient financial services
"We use Accuro Contract Manager to accurately track payments and contracted variances. It's like a barometer for reporting, and we use it to improve customer services, identify registration and billing issues and verify accurate posting of contractual adjustments. The Accuro solution has had significant impact on DUHS's economic health." – Cecelia Moore, chief operating officer of DUHS's patient revenue management organization
"Because of our confidence in Accuro Contract Manager, we are not only using it as an underpayment and collection tool, but have integrated it with our billing, payment posting, contractual underpayments and collections." – Charles Cockman, hospital quality assurance manager
"Accuro Contract Manager PRO has provided an excellent financial return on investment in terms of additional collections and has proven to be just as valuable in increasing our physicians' confidence that the billing office is doing everything it can to leave no stone unturned in our revenue cycle efforts." – Scott Williams, director of collections for Duke Patient Revenue Management Organization
"I'd recommend CodeCorrect Knowledge; it's comprehensive and has everything you need. It saves me hours each day in research. I simply log onto CodeCorrect Knowledge and my research is done." – Deb Lee, chargemaster coordinator
"Our coders report that their main problems had been with CCI edits. Accuro has helped us cut down on denials because of incorrect bundling or a missing modifier, and reduced the time we spend looking in the CCI book." – Janet Hamm, co-manager reimbursement and coding
"We can't stump Accuro. We have challenged the Accuro team with complex problems several times and we always get an answer that is logical and can be supported by analysis. It's the combination of the people and the technology that make contract analysis and modeling so successful. I'd be afraid to do business without Accuro." – Mark Hiller, vice president of Finance and Managed Care
"The Accuro suite has paid for itself several times over by helping to identify tens of thousands of dollars in missed opportunities." – Gordon Bigham, business office manager
"Accuro's CodeCorrect Knowledge is invaluable in sorting and evaluating charges in your chargemaster. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the tool you need." – Rebecca Kidder, RN, compliance analyst
"Accuro's CodeCorrect Knowledge is a valuable tool that reduces the amount of research necessary to make changes to keep up with regulations." – John Woodward, director of revenue cycle project initiatives
"Accuro CarePricer has transformed our estimating process for both staff and patients. Our business office staff can now generate accurate estimates quickly and easily and our patients consider this a service that allows them to make informed decisions. This results in improved business office processes, increased financial stability and enhanced patient satisfaction."
– Bob Wagner, director of patient accounts
"Accuro ABN has helped us streamline the registration process. We've been able to decrease patient wait time an average of 75 percent and increase our accuracy ten-fold." – Craig Stumpenhorst, assistant director of business services
"We have completed multiple validations of Accuro Contract Manager, and they all report the same conclusion: Accuro is accurate. This is a major consideration for a hospital like St. Vincent that is accountable to a larger system." – Frank Bryan, manager of patient financial services
"Taken together, the results we have seen from Accuro Receivables Manager and MyMentor over a very short period of time have been nothing short of incredible. With the intelligence provided by these products, we reduced A/R days from 65 ot 59 over a three-month period. One day in A/R equals $13 million for the nine hospitals in our region. Multiply $13 million a day by six fewer A/R days, and that's a $78 million impact." – Margie Souza, regional central business office director
"Managed care plans had data that we didn't. Now we have accurate, actionable information. Contract Modeler is light years ahead of our previous modeling capability. We now have more confidence in the integrity of our financial reporting regarding managed care contractual adjustments. Accuro Contract Manager and Contract Modeler have more than paid for themselves, and we're just scratching the surface." – Chip Sitton, director of managed care
"By using Accuro tools daily, after two years, we are just over the $3 million mark in additional revenue brought in that would otherwise have fallen off the table." – Brian Smit
"It eliminates guesswork and errors. I couldn't live without it. Our claims are clean, and therefore, we receive payment quickly – generally within 14 days." – Vicki Meyer, practice manager
