Revenue-cycle answer from VOSKPO
What should a physician prepare before starting a medical practice?
Start with a written business and operating plan. Licensing, entity and legal advice, insurance, staffing, technology, payer strategy, credentialing, enrollment, billing and patient access all need owners and dates. Revenue-cycle setup should begin before the first appointment, not after the first unpaid claim.
