ZERO BALANCE REVIEW

Why leave millions on the table?

With rising expenses, staffing shortages and a rapidly changing payer market, there's little time for evaluating the precision of revenue cycle processes and payments.

WHY CHANGE?

Instead of focusing on reducing expenses, find a new source of revenue in a risk-free contingency model, with a seamless transition and low burden on your teams.

SALUD AT WORK

Early success drive expansion of zero balance reviews

Challenge

What started as a modest review of settled claims within a 10-hospital health system gained traction quickly, especially after Salud was able to recover $10 million in the first year for the system. The system is part of a statewide purchasing consortium.

​

Solution

Salud’s payment models include reimbursement calculators designed to ensure complete account payment for services performed, not just what was billed. As each system hospital was added, a review of coding, billing and write-offs fixed a host of broken processes.
