Physician Advisors: Protecting Hospital Viability
As healthcare systems navigate an increasingly complex environment, hospitals must have robust strategies to secure earned revenue, support compliance, and streamline operations. Physician Advisors serve as the payor watchdogs, providing hospitals with the expertise and oversight necessary to thrive in today’s demanding landscape.
Physician Advisors help address these critical areas that contribute to hospitals’ financial health:
- Revenue Protection: Physician Advisors proactively address potential denials by understanding payor requirements and validating appropriate reimbursement for services rendered.
- Compliance Oversight: Physician Advisors support accurate status assignment and coach hospital-based providers about medical necessity documentation, helping hospitals meet regulatory standards and capture reimbursements for the quality care delivered.
- Operational Efficiency: Physician Advisors provide expert guidance to ensure patient care is delivered in a setting that is appropriate for the patient while securing clinical documentation that aligns with payor requirements.
The term “watchdog” demonstrates the vigilance and dedication that Physician Advisors bring to their work. They are active, engaged, and committed to protecting hospital viability by fostering alignment across departments to support revenue capture.
At Brundage Group, we support hospitals with our experienced Physician Advisors who bring this critical oversight to life. Our mission is to partner with hospital systems to ensure they capture earned reimbursements for the high-quality care delivered, remain compliant, and stay operationally efficient— all essential for effectively serving their communities.
