Although
we have a single focus -- patient advocacy -- there is
no one single thing that makes our eligibility system
work. In effect, we do EVERYTHING "eligibility."
You and your patients profit in many ways.
In
partnership with your financial managers and case-work
staff, our Eligibility Advocates develop personal relationships
with each patient to identify the programs that will best
serve them and their families. We will go to their homes
if they can’t come to us. We will take them to appointments
at the county Medicaid office or the local Social Security
office. We will be by their side throughout the entire
process to ensure they receive the benefits to which they
are entitled.
Our
Advocacy approach to the eligibility process will create
additional Disproportionate Share (DSH) days, may increase
your DSH receipts and will enhance your community image.
Most importantly, we will INCREASE MEDICAID CASH FLOW
AND REDUCE YOUR BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS.
Discover
all the benefits of Advanced Patient Advocacy. And discover
what Advocacy really means.

We specialize - Eligibility is the
only thing we do. We don't use collections as a "Plan
B." |
|
We will fight to secure eligibility for every patient
because no other business objective stands in the
way. As a result, we cut your hospital's uncollectible
debts by at least 35%. |
|
We work efficiently - Our IT and
business systems are fine tuned with one goal: to
reduce the administrative burden on your staff. |
|
We have data exchange capabilities and we provide
robust, real-time reporting. Our efficiency
translates directly into your effectiveness.
|
|
We care - APA never charges the patient
any fees. Our selectively recruited Eligibility Advocates
make sure that every patient is personally screened
(not just credit checked) and well informed of their
options. |
|
Better patient education means better patient
participation. It increases the likelihood
of approvals and decreases unnecessary placement to
collection agencies. |
|
We focus on family - Patient interviews
often give insight to desperate household situations.
|
|
Even if your patient is not eligible,
we will enroll all household members who are eligible
free of charge. |
|
We process every eligibility case
- We can handle any account type you refer to us.
Including your outpatient and ER accounts. |
|
It adds up to better profit for you, while
increasing the outreach efforts of your facility.
