7 Essential Strategies for Streamlined Chargemaster Management: Boosting Mid-Revenue Cycle Results

Welcome to episode seven of the RevTech Rx Podcast- Your prescription for a healthy revenue cycle! This episode is powered by Streamline Health, a leader in pre-billing coding optimization.

Mid-revenue cycle optimization is tremendously influenced by the accuracy—or lack thereof— of the chargemaster. Healthcare providers have many hurdles to consider when it comes to chargemaster optimization, especially when chargemaster review is a manual process and can have as many as 10,000+ entries to consider. Chargemaster maintenance is something many healthcare organizations complete only twice a year alongside CPT code updates. When a health system performs maintenance only twice a year, revenue integrity is impacted.

For revenue integrity professionals, ensuring chargemaster accuracy is crucial as it impacts other areas of the revenue cycle, such as charge capture. While the benefits of mid-revenue cycle management are clear, having organizational buy-in for best practices is just one of the many challenges to mid-revenue cycle integrity.
