The Medicare Suspense Account Manager has saved us at least one full-time employee and reduced our network connection fees by over one thousand dollars a month. Now, not only are we getting paid on those suspense accounts, but significantly faster than we've ever experienced. We are very busy. There is nothing to disrupt department activities and no imposition on your time. We didn't budget for this.
Hospitals pay a pre-determined fixed monthly fee based on transaction volume.
There may not be any expense increase. Many hospitals use Medicare SAM at little or no net cost because of the savings they experience in reduced connection fees and labor expense.
