I am being asked by a local community business school to give a detailed
speech on our industry including the challenges we faced as over the past
36 months. I would love if you would rank the top five challenges you feel
your organization has faced and it's effect on your earnings. Number one
would be a challenge having the most devastating impact on your company.
For example, number one may be RAC audits. two, physician stock and bills
and private physician DME billing. Three may be declining reimbursements.
Four, new Medicare pre payment reviews, finally, the consolidation of
hospitals has resulted in new personnel who do not have a working
relationship. I want to hear what you think, in your order of importance
please.
Please post ONLY the first five reasons that pop into your head! I will
post the responses most repeated. Thank you in advance for your help!
