Amerinet Introduces Revenue Cycle Management Solutions

Amerinet Inc., one of the most innovative and effective health care group purchasing organizations (GPOs) in the United States, introduces revenue cycle management as a new margin improvement tool for health care providers. Consisting of assessment and implementation services offered in partnership with ACS Healthcare Solutions and software from Craneware, Amerinet revenue cycle solutions enable health care providers to identify and implement margin improvement initiatives in each phase of patient interaction.

Health care providers can now use Amerinet’s tools to increase net revenue, increase net collection percentage, reduce the cost of collections and make cash flow more predictable.

“Amerinet understands how important a healthy operating margin is for every health care provider,” said Todd Ebert, president, Amerinet. “When our members asked Amerinet to address both sides of the margin improvement equation – revenue and expenses, we responded with full solutions from two industry-leading organizations.”

Assessment and implementation services are offered in partnership with ACS Health Care Solutions, a leading health care professional services organization. Through this partnership, Amerinet members receive significantly discounted services.

“Because the revenue cycle is so broad, it is often difficult for health care providers to pinpoint and act on the opportunities,” said Bruce Craycraft, vice president, ACS. “Our quick and affordable assessment highlights target areas, and we are available to assist providers with management consulting, interim management, outsourcing and technology optimization services.”

Craneware, the market-leading supplier of financial software solutions for health care revenue cycle management, offers Amerinet’s second solution – revenue cycle software -at significant discounts to members.

“The largest opportunities for optimizing revenue exist in coding and billing,” said Lindsay Terrell, strategic accounts and marketing manager, Craneware. “With our software tools, health care providers can manage the integrity of their chargemaster and ensure accurate coding and reimbursement.”
