AHIQA

A successful revenue cycle begins with an accurate registration!

Accurate registration data results in reduced denials, fewer rejected claims, less returned statements, and a reduction of other delays that impede the collections process and slow your revenue cycle. AHI’s On-Demand Registration QA is the best way to identify and correct these errors to provide clean and accurate data for all your downstream processes which will enhance financial performance and improve your operations facility-wide.

Real-Time QA

Real-time QA allows your registrars to see errors immediately after the registration is complete so they can verify and collect more information from the patient who is still in front of them, correcting errors and eliminating the need for additional FTEs.

The Enterprise-wide Benefits of an Accurate Registration

For your facility’s financial management, AHIQA eliminates errors at registration and keeps your cash flow constant. As the quality and timeliness of claims to insurers improves, so does your cash inflow and average AR days. Armed with AHIQA, your employees and supervisors get the feedback they need to perform at optimum speed and efficiency.
