  “The first time I attended one of Passport’s educational webinars I was extremely pleased. Early into the session it was obvious that the information was useful and applicable to my every day job, so I make an effort to participate in the topics of interest to me. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an informative way to spend a lunch hour.”

  Price Transparency: A Win-Win
March 25, 2010
10AM PT/ 12PM CT/ 1PM ET

Front end price transparency requires a new, retail-like mindset that can be difficult to adopt in a hospital environment, especially for non-profit and faith-based systems. Insured patients are carrying more out-of-pocket liability with high co-pays and deductibles and like retail consumers are becoming more interested in cost. Patients expect a quote before services are rendered and sometimes even shop for care at the lowest price. Accurate estimates create collections opportunities, increase up front revenue and improve customer service.

Provena Health used price transparency to dramatically increase up front collections and improve patients’ experience. Provena is a multi-facility system serving Illinois and Indiana. Ranked by Thomson Reuters as one of the top 50 U.S. health systems for clinical quality and efficiency, Provena’s staff is engaged with tools and processes that produce patient payment quotes at each of its six ministries.

Join Passport –The Patient Access Experts for a general discussion on the many advantages of patient payment estimation and a detailed look at Provena’s success on Wednesday, March 25.

Learning Objectives:

  • Standard elements and benefits of price transparency
  • Best practice tools and processes for patient payment estimation
  • Provena Health case study: Achieving financial goals without compromising the core mission of patient care

Who should attend: Provider patient access staff/business office/ revenue cycle/ finance
Date: Thursday, March 25, 2010
Time: 10 a.m. PT/ 12 p.m. CT/ 1 p.m. ET

  Chicken Soup for the Registrar’s Soul
April 7, 2010
10AM PT/ 12PM CT/ 1PM ET

Patient Access is the most critical and often most underappreciated part of the health care revenue cycle. Patient Access professionals are asked to wear many hats, from customer service representatives to insurance billing specialists, and do not always have the tools, training or support they need to accomplish goals.

During the National Association of Healthcare Access Management’s National Healthcare Access Personnel Week, Passport will offer praise and encouragement for Patient Access professionals. What happens in Patient Access affects everything else in the patient experience, and the department should be viewed as a key stakeholder within the organization.

The work of Patient Access professionals has a direct impact on a hospital’s financial position, which ultimately enables an organization to fulfill its mission of patient care. The Patient Access department is also the face of the hospital to patients. Front end employees are asked to engage in sensitive financial discussions with patients and increase the speed of registration to reduce wait times, and do their jobs with exceptional customer service.

From scheduling to pre-registration and registration, a “chicken soup” of technology and best practice processes improves workflows to create a better environment for employees and patients alike.

Join Passport – The Patient Access Experts – for this complementary webinar on Wednesday, April 7.

Learning Objectives:

  • Key patient access benchmarks
  • Best practices in pre-service financial clearance
  • Tips for improving patient satisfaction and employee morale
  • New technologies to optimize front-end workflow

Who should attend: Provider patient access staff/business office/ revenue cycle/ finance
Date: Wednesday, April 7
Time: 10 a.m. PT/ 12 p.m. CT/ 1 p.m. ET
