Healthcare
continues to become more complex. The downward
pressure on revenue from managed care and increased
costs have created a “squeeze” on profits. It
is more important than ever to manage your healthcare
practice as a business.
GMP can help. We have professionals with specialized
knowledge of issues confronting your medical business.
In addition to traditional accounting services like
bookkeeping, tax preparation, financial planning and financial
statements, we can add value to your medical, dental or other healthcare practice with:
Complete practice assessment
An
assessment evaluates the overall efficiency of your
practice. We
benchmark your practice and make recommendations to
improve your profitability.
Internal control review and
implementation
Medical practices can be vulnerable to embezzlement. We
can advise you on checks and balances that may avoid
employee theft.
Accounts receivable assessment
Accounts receivable that are not properly managed
can cause a delay in cash flow. Review of the
accounts receivable cycle may identify areas that need
improvement.
Billing service review
A review of outside billing services can determine
if services are billed correctly and payments are collected
on a timely basis.
Coding analysis
Accurate coding determines
if you are paid for all services provided to patients. A
coding analysis may determine areas that need improvement.
Review
of Medicare/Medicaid billing practices
Medicare and Medicaid have specific billing requirements
that must be met to receive reimbursement. Noncompliance
with these requirements can cause lost revenue.
Practice setup
New physicians need assistance in establishing their
practice. Credentialing, hiring personnel and
other operational issues need to be handled prior to
starting business.
Physician compensation
Changes in the type of services provided or the size
of the practice can create a need to change the compensation
formula. We can make suggestions and model the
proposed formula for your review.
Practice valuations
Determining the value of your ownership in your medical
practice may be needed for practice acquisitions and
buy/sell agreements.
Evaluation of new services
Adding a new ancillary service can enhance your practice
revenue. We can help determine if the service will
be profitable.
Wealth building/retirement planning
We can advise you on wealth building strategies such
as retirement and tax planning.
