Consulting
ABS helps clients forge highly beneficial contractual relationships
with managed care organizations, hospitals, other facilities and
provider organizations. Using targeted research and practice evaluation,
ABS finds the best contracting opportunities for clients and then
monitors the respective obligations to guarantee contract compliance.
Compliance: It is recommended that all providers develop and
implement a compliance program unique to the practice. The program
should allow for the evaluation of billing practices, including
documentation, and an educational component to ensure that all providers
and staff are aware of the results of the evaluations. ABS helps
practices stay up-to-date with compliance regulations and adhere to
rules applying to claim submission, human resource management and other
business practices. We develop, implement and monitor compliance
programs for anesthesiology practices.
Practice Evaluation: Opportunities to expand or join forces with
other providers are becoming more common place. ABS enables clients to
build highly productive practices by helping them clarify, align and
implement new business strategies. Providers can be very intuitive about
the quality of the performance of their billing operations or other
practice management issues. To validate their concerns, ABS performs
objective, third party audits of accounts receivable, consults on
technology options, evaluates expansion opportunities and helps with
recruitment of anesthesia providers. For hospital and other facilities,
we help establish their billing and management services for employed
anesthesia professionals.
Business Development: ABS identifies opportunities for business
growth that represent the most significant revenue potential for
clients. ABS also initiates discussions with prospective partners to
build positive professional relationships and reforms the “nuts and
bolts” evaluation necessary to make truly informed decisions.
