The portion of your revenue that patients must pay directly has dramatically increased. And higher copays and deductibles aren’t going away – a recent Kaiser Family Foundation study determined that average deductibles for patients on employer-sponsored plans have more than doubled, and now average more $1,200 per year.

Collecting effectively from patients has gotten harder, and not doing it well has gotten more costly.
But best patient collection practices are emerging – and technology vendors are stepping up their game, too.  Join this free webinar to learn tips to collect more reliably and efficiently – while protecting your positive patient relationships.

Key trends in technology, health insurance, and consumer preferences are changing staffing needs at medical practices. Patients expect a higher level of service. Does your practice have the technology – and the team – to deliver it?  And if you add technology, how can you be sure your practice will be more productive?  Above all, how do you use all your human and technology resources to maximize profit potential?
Having the right staff is the first step. The next is empowering them with the right tools and the right responsibilities.

In this lively webinar, Laurie Morgan of Capko & Morgan explores how the right mix of staff roles and technology can take your practice’s revenue and profit to the next level.  It’s a presentation you can’t afford to miss!

Even with employer insurance, patients are expected to contribute more to the cost of their care in 2017 than in any other time in recent history. Most practices must now collect 25-35% of their revenues directly from patients.

The good news is that smart, compassionate patient engagement on financial responsibilities can improve collections while strengthening patient relations. And emerging technology tools and workflow ideas are available to help practices address this critical challenge.

Join Laurie on 4/26 for a lively webinar exploring best practices for mastering this ever-more-critical revenue cycle task!

One of the best things about our business is that innovation has made it much easier for practices of any size to offer patients more convenient, customized ways to interact with both their clinicians and administration.

Five Ways to Personalize the Patient Experience -- Without Adding Work

In your fast-moving medical practice, do you find decision-making sometimes happens "on-the-fly," and things get done a certain way based on untested assumptions or because "we’ve always done it that way"?  This can lead to less-than-best decision-making -- but the good news is that the data you need to improve your practice could be right at your fingertips (if you know where to look, and what to look for).

Join Laurie Morgan for this lively webinar to learn:

• Understand why becoming data-driven is so important to practice improvement.
• Learn how to nurture a culture of data-driven decision-making.
• Recognize sources of data that can help you manage better – from inside and outside your practice.
• Learn ideas for using data to drive practice profitability, set goals, and evaluate opportunities.
• Understand how to avoid the problem of "garbage in, garbage out" and a few other decision-making tips and tricks!
