Academic Cancer Center · Mobile, Alabama
From Monthly to Daily Billing, and the Margin to Fund Growth
The only academic cancer research and treatment center on the upper Gulf Coast, part of the University of South Alabama Health System, moved its revenue cycle to Unlimited Systems. Its leaders describe daily billing, faster A/R, clearer KPIs, and growth the bottom line can now support.
Client: USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute
Watch USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute tell the story in their own words.
“When I arrived here, I had significant concerns about our ability to actually ensure that we were being paid fairly for the work that we were doing. Unlimited Systems has really made that dream come true for me and it's done it in a way that has been extremely collaborative.”
The focus
Leadership's first question was whether the institute was being paid fairly for its work. Operations needed KPIs to know where to focus, and clinicians needed to be taken out of coding and other revenue cycle tasks so they could get back to patient care.
What USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute reports
- Billing moved from a monthly cycle to a daily one.
- Cash flow and revenue increased.
- A/R that ran up to four months now turns in as little as two weeks.
- Validation catches problems before charges go out.
- Grew 30% to 50% in almost every area over three years, with the bottom line to hire for it.
