The Challenges
Before integrating Valenta RCM’s support services through a Virtual Medical Assistant (VMA), the client faced crucial operational challenges:
- Unmanaged Financial Responsibilities: A staff shortage resulted in inefficiencies in handling patient billing and financial workflows.
- Lack of Patient Trust: Delays in communication and inconsistent medication management impacted patient trust, particularly in a psychiatric setting where timely responses are critical.
- Disorganized Patient Communication: Missed calls and unanswered post-appointment questions affected the clinic’s ability to provide responsive care.
- Billing and Insurance Delays: Inefficient management of referrals and billing processes caused delays, affecting both patient care and clinic revenue.
- Heavy Administrative Workload: Clinical staff were burdened with administrative tasks like insurance verifications and therapy authorizations, which hampered operational efficiency.
