Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010, more providers are experiencing a shift in health care revenue sources, especially as patient financial responsibility increases. Patients are more accountable for their health care costs than ever before. With many providers focusing on patient experience, it’s important for them to understand that patients are the new payers and must tailor billing strategies accordingly. In this October HomeCare Magazine article, Brightree’s VP of Billing Collections, Jennifer Leon, discusses a few strategies for providers to increase cash flow and create a more productive billing process while ensuring happier patients and staff.

Patient engagement is a now-common element of U.S. healthcare as patients coordinate with their doctors, pharmacies and other providers using apps, web portables and similar tools, and Brightree is bringing that capability to HME providers with its Patient Hub solution. At Medtrade Fall, Brightree’s product manager for patient engagement, James Yi, gave HME Business a tour of the Patient Hub app.

Nick Knowlton, Brightree’s VP of business development, discusses what ePrescription will mean for HME, including more information about Brightree’s newest ePrescribe offering.
