One of our earliest clients rank amongst the country’s largest networks of outpatient radiology centers, with over 250 locations across the United States, offering state-of-the-art facilities for PET/CT, MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound and X-rays. Serving over 750,000 patients annually, they perform over four million diagnostic and imaging exams, in affiliation with prominent HMOs and independent physician groups (IPAs).
The Client Turned To Infinx After Identifying Several Systemic Bottlenecks
- High fees, with limited bang-for-the-buck, from existing RCM vendor
- Inconsistent turn-around times and approval rates
- Disjointed prior authorization processes among locations, lacking a cohesive workflow management system
- High number of claim denials attributed to data entry errors in prior authorizations
- Inadequate auditing and quality control
