"Many medical practices lack the time and expertise to manage appeals and other billing issues that can result in losses of thousands of dollars every month," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Koustav Chatterjee. "Aprima RCM provides that focus and expertise, partnering with each practice to help increase reimbursements, speed up payment time, and reduce denials and underpayments."

Furthermore, the company's account management team helps practices identify coding omissions and compares payments to payer contracted allowable to help prevent underpayments. The team also assesses denials and offers regulatory support. On average, Aprima RCM customers are paid significantly faster than other RCM services and industry benchmarks.

Aprima's technology, along with advisory services, allows these practices to reduce average account receivable (A/R) durations, enhance corporate revenues and optimize regulatory compliance with regard to:

• ICD 10 transition
• Integration of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS') rules
• Prepayment audits
• Adherence to physician quality reporting system (PQRS) reporting objectives

Aprima consolidates the pricing for most RCM components and enhances customers' margins on collection because they are not required to invest in multiple external RCM vendors. This lowers the operational expenditure on RCM design and deployment.

Aprima's claims engine has more than 20 million edits and a 98% clean claims rate. On average, physician practices that leverage the Aprima RCM platform improve collection efficiency by 7% to 9% and revenue up to 29%.

"Aprima is the RCM vendor of choice of numerous independent and hospital-owned physician practices, serving 70 specialties and sub-specialties in the United States. Its client retention rate of 98% is the best in the industry, and the result of its commitment to developing superior technologies and offering best-in-class customer support," noted Koustav. "Overall, its top-class RCM platform, customer acquisition strategy for new accounts, and evidence-based product enhancements for existing accounts will ensure its continued success through 2020."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with innovative features and functionality, gaining rapid acceptance in the market. The award recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.
