At Global Finance Teams, our mission is to empower healthcare providers with financial clarity and the tools they need to thrive. In this case study, we’ll share how our partnership with a surgical clinic helped them overcome significant financial hurdles and achieve financial success.
Client Overview: A Healthcare Clinic in Transition
Our client, a surgical clinic, had just emerged from receivership and faced numerous financial challenges. Despite their expertise in providing quality care, they struggled with cash flow management and had limited visibility into their accounts receivable from insurance payors. These issues were creating uncertainty and impeding their growth.
The Challenges: Lack of Financial Clarity
The clinic’s key financial pain points included:
Unclear reimbursement rates: They had limited insight into reimbursement rates for billed procedures, making it difficult to predict incoming payments.
Multi-clinic complexity: Managing finances across multiple clinical entities was overwhelming due to a lack of consolidated financial systems.
Cash flow uncertainty: Without a clear picture of accounts receivable and incoming insurance reimbursements, their cash flow management suffered.
These issues made it difficult for the clinic to track profitability and manage day-to-day operations efficiently.
Our Solution: A Comprehensive Accounting Overhaul
To address these challenges, a dedicated accountant from GFT, spearheaded a complete financial transformation. Our approach included:
End-to-End Accounting Function: We set up a robust accounting system in QuickBooks tailored for their multi-clinic structure, enabling a consolidated view of their financials.
Financial Modeling: Custom financial models were developed to provide insights into profitability and guide strategic decision-making.
Insurance Data Analysis: We conducted a detailed analysis of the clinic’s insurance data, giving them a clear understanding of their reimbursement rates and payor behavior.
Cash Flow Tracking: We helped identify and rectify discrepancies, including uncovering a previously overlooked financial account where insurance payments were being deposited.
The Results: Financial Visibility and Optimized Operations
The impact of our work was significant:
Enhanced Reimbursement Insights: The clinic gained a clear understanding of reimbursement rates, allowing them to project revenue more accurately.
Cash Flow Improvements: By identifying the separate insurance payment account, the clinic experienced an immediate improvement in their cash balance.
Operational Efficiency: Optimized staffing levels based on financial forecasts led to more efficient clinic operations and reduced costs.
Data-Driven Decision-Making: With robust financial models and visibility, the clinic was empowered to make strategic, informed decisions.
