Ambulatory Surgical Centers

Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) have revolutionized the outpatient experience as much as any innovation in the healthcare field. Their unique characteristics and requirements for compliance with health, safety and government regulations mandate a transformative approach to administrative operations, coding, billing, and solutions. Granite GRC’s professionals can help your ASC optimize its operations, as well as its coding, documentation, and revenue cycle for improved, measurable results.

Addressing Needs and Challenges

Our ASC team helps companies adopt leading-edge technologies to improve patient care, streamline workflow, identify, and address pain points, increase receivables, and ensure compliance. We understand the blended billing procedures of physicians and ASCs, as well as the packaged services that aren’t on “pass-through” status (surgical dressings, splints, casts, anesthesia and more). Focus areas include risk adjustment documentation and coding, CMS and RADV audit preparation, corporate and professional compliance, and advanced data analytics for benchmarking. Our dedicated team is well-versed in all facets of the revenue cycle:

• Payor contracting, including FFS, PPS, risk adjustment, capitation, bundled payments, value-based, shared savings, and other payment models
• Healthcare revenue cycle management, from credentialing through appeal of denials
• Concierge and cash medicine models
• Documentation, coding and billing reviews and analyses
• Medicare Incentive Payment System analyses and improvement
• Charge-capture analysis
• Denials management and appeal
• Credit-balance reviews
• UPIC review analyses and responses
• Voluntary and mandatory selfreporting

We’ll work with your facility and train staff using proven methods, holding ourselves accountable throughout the process.
