Integrated Revenue Management (IRM), now celebrating its 10th year of success, is a national healthcare education company focused on improving all aspects of revenue integrity while increasing efficiency, compliance, and sustainable financial stability by helping our clients to realize a 2-4% increase in net patient revenues.
IRM’s nationwide clients are poised in 2010 to cumulatively reach one billion dollars of captured incremental revenue using the Revenue Management Evaluation (RMEval™) and Revenue Management Department (RMD™) processes, two services we are proud to have achieved the HFMA Peer Review Status*.
The RMEval™ process uses a combination of comprehensive questionnaires, and a two-to-three day on-site visit for key employee and department interviews, which provides benchmarked results and actionable recommendations to improve the revenue integrity at your hospital or system.
The logical next step from the RMEval™ is the creation of a discrete, internal RMD™, which provides the infrastructure necessary to capture revenue at the point of service, produce an accurate bill, and collect expected payments. IRM provides a multi-year focus on the development of the department, which is chartered to protect and secure all appropriate net income.
IRM’s unique ‘insourcing’ model provides sustainable long-term and ongoing results by optimizing your internal team instead of encouraging a reliance on external consulting projects or practices.
