Let’s crowdsource the RCM plays that actually move metrics. Drop ONE best practice your team uses and copy this format so it’s easy to learn from:
Template to post your best practice:
- Context: setting/specialty/payer mix
- The Play (steps): what you do, in order
- Metrics Moved: before → after (e.g., first-pass %, denial rate, days in A/R)
- Artifacts: checklist/script/template (attach if you can)
- Pitfalls & Tips: what to watch out for
Starter ideas (pick one):
- Eligibility “double-verify” at scheduling and day-of
- Prior-auth tracker with SLAs and next-action reminders
- Monthly edit tune-up: top rejections → new pre-submission edits
- Daily 10-minute denial triage huddle + 48-hour follow-up standard
- Weekly KPI one-pager (clean claim rate, first-pass yield, denial rate, days in A/R)
- Appeal letter template customized by payer + reason
House rules: no PHI; anonymize accounts; keep it practical.
