Revenue Cycle / Accounts Receivable

Decommissions
Made Efficient.

Managing an accounts receivable (A/R) wind down is a common challenge when implementing a new revenue cycle system. Keeping the legacy system up and running through completion is often time-consuming and costly. That’s why many organizations opt to implement data archiving solutions.

Wind Down Patient Balances

When an old financial system is replaced, there are typically outstanding accounts receivable (A/R) records that aren’t converted in full line-item detail to the new software. Although keeping the legacy system up and running is an option for collectors to wind down A/R, it is often a more costly approach than archiving due to high vendor support fees on a full-production billing system. HealthData Platform is an enterprise data management solution that includes industry-leading data storage with HealthData Archiver® and offers integrated A/R management and wind-down capabilities ranging from simple transaction posting to automated collection agency management to comprehensive billing functionality.

HealthData Archiver® + Transaction Posting Module

Post charges, adjustments, and refunds to wind down archived patient A/R records so that legacy financial systems can get decommissioned. Includes general ledger exports and patient aged trial balance reports.

HealthData Archiver® + Collection Agency Management

(Bundled with Transaction Posting Module)

Automate the posting of charges, adjustments, and write-offs from your outsourced collection and bad debt agencies as transaction files are securely received into Transaction Posting Module. Includes the posting of notes to accounts as documented and submitted by an agency. Transfer outbound placement files to coordinate collection efforts between your provider organization and an agency or among multiple collection agencies.

Columbus Regional Healthcare System

Our challenge was twofold. We wanted the ability to keep running AR ourselves and we wanted to avoid paying what the legacy vendor would charge. With Harmony, we were able to archive detailed account records to meet retention requirements while continuing to collect what insurance companies and patients owed.
