I. Reimbursement and the Revenue Cycle
a. Describe what reimbursement means to a healthcare organization. What would happen if services were provided to patients but no payments
were received for those services?
b. Illustrate the flow of the patient through the cycle from the initial point of contact through the care and ending at the point where the payment
is collected.
II. Departmental Impact on Reimbursement
a. Many different departments utilize reimbursement data in a healthcare organization. It is crucial the healthcare organization monitors this data.
What impact could the healthcare organization face if this data were not monitored? Describe why collecting data is required for pay-for- performance incentives.
b. Describe the activities within each department in a healthcare organization for how they may impact reimbursement. What specific data would you review in the reimbursement area to know whether changes were necessary?
c. Identify the responsible department for ensuring compliance with billing and coding policies. How does this affect the department’s impact on reimbursement in a healthcare organization?
I hope I can get this same writer to complete the rough draft and final powerpoint as soon as the teacher posts her instructions. This part was great! Thank you so much.
