For you and your medical practice coding, billing and collections, the impact of the oncoming ICD-10 transition might just be seen as an oncoming freight train when demonstrated with these sobering numerical facts:
- 68,000 diagnostic codes
- 87,000 procedure codes
- Denial rates potentially increasing between 100 and 200 percent
- AR days increasing by 20 to 40 percent
- Almost twice the claim error rate

But there’s one number that actually can help protect your practice, and your bottom line, from these vulnerabilities that may occur during the months following the Oct. 1, 2014 “go live.” That’s the number you probably never knew you had – the one that reveals your optimal revenue potential from your healthcare revenue cycle management.
It’s called your MedRev Index.
MedRev Index is a new dashboard tool that serves as a critical benchmark for physician medical billing today. This unique metric serves as a barometer to compare individual medical practice revenue performance, revealing key optimization metrics. The MedRev Index uses a formula and produces an index actionable number, a meta average for your specific practice and discipline. This algorithm-driven index drives revenue optimization. And this advanced diagnostic tool only takes moments to use.
Doctors are then connected to an entire cadre of support to increase their bottom line on average 19 percent in most cases and:
- Further demonstrates full revenue cycle practice potential
- Develops a revenue cycle management plan for success
- Empowers practices to ensure they achieve it
