Variation in revenue cycle quality leads to issues with denials, delays and increased costs. Methods are needed to ensure consistency so that efficient and effective billing can occur. Moffitt Cancer Center launched a quality department to conduct consistent, unbiased quality assurance in the revenue cycle. Quality auditors oversee training and system support for the revenue cycle’s five key departments and 700+ team members. Moffitt implemented the Trace platform from Vyne Medical and leverage scorecards, reporting and dashboards to track and trend quality performance over time. The review process provides a controlled base to reinforce efficiency, accuracy and accountability across teams. By catching and correcting errors before they move downstream, Moffitt can send claims out cleaner, reduce denials and bring in more cash.
