NextGen
Healthcare Information Systems, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of healthcare
information systems and connectivity solutions, announced today it has
entered into a 10-year agreement with Capital Women’s Care, LLC to
continue providing revenue cycle management (RCM) services for long-term
financial sustainability and growth.
As a NextGen Healthcare client since 2002, Capital Women’s Care, one of
the largest private OB/GYN practices in the mid-Atlantic region with 45
locations and 178 providers, has utilized unparalleled revenue cycle
services and technology to optimize the patient experience and more
effectively coordinate care through synchronized clinical,
administrative and revenue processes, which results in improved outcomes.
Under the new long-term agreement, Capital Women's Care will continue to
leverage NextGen RCM Services to optimize their use of the NextGen®
product suite with best practice billing and collection services,
eligibility verification services, denial management, account management
and data analytics. Furthermore, Capital Women’s Care will utilize
NextGen RCM services to further support their business and position the
organization for continued growth and financial sustainability.
“In the healthcare industry, proper reimbursement for healthcare
services is crucial to the financial stability of any business, and
there is simply too much at stake to let administrative burdens hamper
our organization’s ability to practice medicine and financially thrive,”
said Debbie Redd, president and chief executive officer for Capital
Women’s Care.
“We are committed to retaining the expertise needed to leverage IT
Technology to streamline the revenue cycle, enhance cash flow and remain
competitive. With AR days consistently under 20 for the practice --
significantly below historic highs -- we have seen dramatic results
partnering with NextGen for our revenue cycle management function and
anticipate seeing more. Partnering with NextGen allows us to focus on
the front end processes as they focus on the back,” said Redd. “We are
thriving in healthcare today because RCM Services handles the business
side of our practices while our doctors focus on what they do best --
patient care.”
“The evolution to value-based medicine places an emphasis on revenue
cycle management services that can efficiently manage the business of
transforming patient care into positive financial outcomes and we are
pleased that Capital Women’s Care has placed their confidence in us,”
said Monte
Sandler, executive vice president of NextGen RCM Services. “The
continued success realized by Capital Women’s Care demonstrates our
commitment to optimizing revenues by employing the right people,
processes and technology. We look forward to building on these
achievements and helping Capital Women’s Care continue to navigate the
ever-changing healthcare environment over the next 10 years.”
