Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10 sponsored and developed by Brightree.   https://www.brightree.com/brightree-revenue-cycle-management-rcm/ Today’s guest is Noel Tauzin, head of revenue cycle management for Brightree. He joins HME News in 10 to talk about how, when providers marry the power of technology with outsourced services, that’s “where the magic happens.” It unlocks their efficiency and growth, deepens their patient care, allows them to keep pace with payer requirements, and increases their adaptability to market changes. "I think this evolution positions providers to thrive in a dynamic health care environment, delivering high-quality, patient-focused services,” he says.    Hosts:  Liz Beaulieu  Theresa Flaherty    Guest:  Noel Tauzin

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10 sponsored and developed by MSI Health Solutions. https://www.msihealthsolutions.com Today’s guest is Zeb Pirzada, president and CEO of MSI Health Solutions. Pirzada joins HME News in 10 to discuss the value of providers taking a hard look at operational costs to find savings through outsourcing, including delivery services. As a former provider himself, Pirzada speaks their language, he says. “There’s a lot of small carriers out there that are not accredited and do not understand the HME industry,” he said. “MSI will bring in the industry expertise.” Hosts:  Liz Beaulieu  Theresa Flaherty  Guest:  Zeb Pirzada https://www.msihealthsolutions.com

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10 sponsored and developed by Strategic Office Support.  https://strategicofficesupport.com/ Today’s guest is Steve Cela, president of Strategic Office Support (SOS). He joins HME News in 10 to talk about how HME providers should look at their workflow and revenue cycle management as a machine that needs to be optimized and continually maintained.  “It's beautiful to see, right, when you see an efficient machine,” he said. “Because in my mind, it’s dollars every time you touch something. When you see these companies that have their processes down right, when you see them creating templates that drop down, when you see them 30 days ahead on their recertifications and their PARs, so their resupply can just go right out the door and the resupply person is just cranking orders...It’s beautiful to see.”  Cela gives us the keys to this machine, including maximizing your EMR, embracing AI and leveraging outsourcing.  Hosts:  Liz Beaulieu  Theresa Flaherty  Guest:  Steve Cela  https://strategicofficesupport.com/

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10 sponsored and developed by Brightree. Today’s guest is Addison Perrymond, head of product management for Brightree. He joins HME News in 10 to talk about why HME providers need to mine technology for “strategic transformation tools that deliver real business outcomes.” “What we find is that our customers are looking at individual tasks and trying to incrementally make those better,” he says. “But if we reimagine that and say, ‘What is the outcome you’re aiming for,’ we can really solve that in a unique way.” We also walk through all the buzzwords, whether it’s labor (how you make good performers great), automation (how you address not only efficiency but care quality) and data (how you use it meaningfully and responsibly).
