WEBINAR
Navigating the No Surprises Act and Changing Patient Financing Legislation
February 8th | 12:00 pm EST
Overview
As a new generation of healthcare consumers are asked to pay increasingly higher medical expenses, federal and state regulations are changing rapidly and forcing providers to rethink patient billing and financial engagement strategies. A consumer-driven financial experience is becoming the new normal as traditional patient financing practices come under fire from patients struggling to afford care.
Price transparency, billing, medical debt, and patient financing are all areas under review by regulatory bodies, and revenue cycle leaders must find ways to adapt to the dynamic environment to protect their revenue while maintaining compliance and patient satisfaction. In this shifting market, providers are challenged to transform their revenue cycle to maintain compliance and meet the financial needs of today’s healthcare consumers.
