AMPM Announces Sponsorship of Hospital Medicine 2008AUSTIN—AMPM, an Austin-headquartered medical billing and practice management leader, announced today its supporting sponsorship of Hospital Medicine 2008. The annual meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine will be held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, Calif., April 3-5.
"We are honored to partner with the Society of Hospital Medicine for this year's annual meeting," said Kathy Campbell, President and CEO of AMPM. "One of our focus areas is Hosp italist practices. We understand the mobile nature of their work and how important good financial management and analysis is to the health of their practice."
AMPM's theme for Hospital Medicine 2008 will be, "You Deserve S'More," providing smores kits to physicians who visit Booth No. 400. AMPM will educate hospitalists on how to gain better knowledge of the financial health of their practice, beginning with some key analysis question, such as:
- Do you know the number of days in A/R?
- Do you know the average collections per visit?
- Do you know the percentage of A/R over 90 days?
- Do you know what is ‘adjusted' or ‘written' off? And why?
- Do you know if you are getting paid what you should get paid per your contracts?
