Kareo Offers Enhanced Features and Success Plan to Improve Patient Collections

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Kareo, the leading provider of clinical and business management software for independent medical practices, announced enhanced features and a comprehensive plan to boost patient collections. Software enhancements include automated eligibility checks, smoother charge capture, helpful balance due alerts, hassle-free patient statements and more. Along with these enhancements, Kareo released the Patient Collections Boot Camp, a free comprehensive guide to implementing new and more efficient processes that will result in better patient collections while improving provider-patient communications.

On the need for simplifying and creating a new patient collections process, Kareo Chief Marketing Officer Rob Pickell said, "The average deductible in the U.S. is now more than $1,000, with patients spending higher out-of-pocket amounts than ever before. This means that patient balances can now make up 30 percent or more of practice revenue. We knew we could help in this area – by enhancing our software features to make patient collections easier, and by providing education and training to help our customers create and implement a collection success plan."

Kareo's success plan, as outlined in the Patient Collections Boot Camp, starts with a free assessment to identify areas for improvement and how to leverage new and existing features within Kareo's integrated end-to-end software platform. The Kareo platform is comprised of a powerful billing module, an intuitive and certified EHR, and essential patient engagement and practice marketing features. Kareo offers extensive training and support to help customers work toward these goals for high-performing practices:

• 95% net collections rate
• 100% of co-pay or co-insurance collected at time of service
• Majority of patient A/R less than 30 days

Customers also have the option of choosing managed billing services to oversee their patient collections and all revenue cycle management responsibilities, either from the company's extensive network of billing companies or from Kareo directly.
