Practice Management Services:
Pinnacle
can serve as the administrative and management component for
a physician practice. We
have
a strong history of leadership success with both
office-based and hospital-based practices.
We
coordinate our work product with your other advisers,
including legal and accounting professionals,
providing
you with a management team that can meet all of an
organization's ongoing needs. At our
client's
direction, we also have the ability to provide bookkeeping
services.
Medical Billing Audits:
Billing
and collections are the lifelines of medical practices.
These functions are often the most difficult
processes
for healthcare organizations to effectively monitor and
manage. At Pinnacle, we can help you
review
your processes, technology, personnel
and performance to determine if you are accurately
capturing
available reimbursement. Our audit team, consisting of
MHA's, MBA's, CPC's and technology
experts
will review your processes, scoring over 150 process and
technology factors. In addition we
evaluate
your performance and provide recommendations that will allow
you to implement effective
changes
into your organization. Our audits allow you to
improve your revenue, providing tangible benefits
to
your organization.
Compensation and
Productivity Analysis:
We
provide in-depth analysis of physician productivity which is
compared to market benchmarks
to
establish reasonable productivity and compensation ranges.
Practice Financial and
Operational Analysis:
Pinnacle's
financial and operational analysis combine comprehensive
reviews of practice financial data
and
operational procedures with detailed studies of staffing,
overhead, revenue cycle (A/R, fee schedule,
coding,
billing, etc.), and office work-flow.
Technology Integration:
It
is widely commented that healthcare organizations reinvest
less than 4% of earnings into IT compared
to
10% in other industry sectors. Whether your strategy
is dedicated to one vendor or "best of breed",
the
Pinnacle team can help assess a practice's functional needs
and help plan for future expansion or
upgrade
scenarios. The benefits of our resources include
expert assessment of technology and the
"goodness
of fit" for investment options; facilitation with key
stakeholders for building consensus; an
understanding
of cutting edge technology, patient care delivery and
management needs and strategies
to
best accommodate the needs of the differing constituencies.
