Preparing Your Organization for Patient Self-Directed Estimating

The smart way to comply with the new CMS 1694-P Price Transparency Ruling, Effective January 1, 2019.

Hospitals have less than 55 workdays remaining in which to comply with the new CMS Price Transparency Ruling (No. 1694-P). While publishing your charge data master on line (i.e., your CDM fee schedule) is one option, there are better alternatives.

This webinar will look at how utilizing VestaPay’s Patient Self-Directed Price Estimator provides a three step process to ensuring patients have the most accurate estimate of a planned treatment as possible, while also giving your hospital for the first time the ability to engage, retain and expand your patients enrollments for outpatient and inpatient treatments.

Patients are able to easily identify the treatment type to be estimated.
The Patients insurance information is used to identify the appropriate hospital contract and adjust the gross charge numbers including rendering physician specific charges to the hospitals’ contracted rate.
The Patients real-time benefit screening is used to finalize the net out-of-pocket charges for the patients planned treatment.

It is important to avoid scaring patients away by presenting gross, unadjusted charges as you would be doing by publishing your CDM. Offering your patients an alternative that gives them a highly accurate estimate while still complying with the ruling should be your top priority.

Combining this estimator with VestaPay’s bi-directional patient outreach technology builds your patient engagement and retention, resulting in increased revenue for your hospital.

We’ll end this webinar with a fast-paced Q&A session. Remember, you only have 55 days remaining to comply with 1694-P. Join us to learn how VestaPay can help you do this the smart way!”
