Increasing demands for an efficient workforce must be rigorously managed and continually challenged. However, patient care needs should not be compromised when determining staffing requirements and contractual labor arrangements. Productivity should be monitored, understood, and improved for continued financial success.

High performers know continued investment in non-labor cost reduction is critical and productive. While managing healthcare costs is inherently difficult, organizations should look at non-labor costs—including GPO, supplies and equipment, pharmaceutical, utilities, IT, employee benefits, and other purchased services—for opportunities to reduce expenses and achieve year-over-year margin improvement. With the right strategy and approach to budgeting, financial planning, and investment, even high-performing organizations can see bottom-line improvement equal to as much as 1.5 to 3% of net patient service revenue.

Our healthcare consultants are ready to help position your provider organization for labor and non-labor cost management success, return on investment, and margin growth.

Clinical documentation integrity (CDI) and coding professionals play an important role in both fee-for-service and fee-for-value reimbursement models by ensuring that the services provided to patients accurately reflect their unique medical severity. Forvis Mazars coding and documentation professionals work with healthcare providers to help improve clinician engagement, develop policies and procedures, streamline internal processes for data collection, perform external coding and documentation compliance assessments, and provide education and training on CDI and accurate coding processes.

Contract rates negotiated with payors in your local market are critical to healthy margins. Determining whether you’re being paid fairly requires benchmarking and an understanding of best practices prior to successful contract negotiation. Forvis Mazars has access to both commercial and Medicare paid claims nationwide to help with benchmarking efforts.

Reaching an agreement with a payor about services and rates requires preparation, data analysis, and strategic negotiation. Forvis Mazars will help determine if your organization is well positioned with major payors in the market and help you develop a road map to improve payor relationships. We can help with:

• Benchmarking
• Modeling
• Payment Audits
• Best Practices
• Negotiations
