Reduce Bad Debt = Increase Profit

Help Patients

Strengthen Community

OVERVIEW

Rising Bad Debt Costs

Since 2000, hospitals of all types have provided more than $702 billion in uncompensated care to their patients. In 2020 alone, 47% of hospitals saw increases in uncompensated care. The trend is continuing, and COVID-19 is only exacerbating the problem. All these factors are making it harder than ever for hospitals to meet both their bottom line and cash flow goals. AuBiqua helps healthcare organizations reduce uncompensated care by identifying the portion of the patient population that qualifies for disability but do not realize it. Our experts walk them through the application and process. Once qualified, hospitals can then be reimbursed for services previously rendered and for future services the individual needs.

Identifying the Right Patients

Global CI has over 30 years of experience successfully working in the healthcare industry at the Federal, State, and Provider levels. We are experts at understanding the complex and ever-changing Social Security Administration (SSA) disability determination rules, regulations, and policies. Using this knowledge, we developed state-of-the-art proprietary algorithms in a HIPAA compliant cloud-based environment. These leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to identify patients who are likely to qualify for Social Security disability leading to Medicaid and Medicare with unparalleled accuracy. Once a patient is qualified, the hospital will be able to bill for and be reimbursed for their prior and future care. At this point the patient, their family, and community, and healthcare providers will start down a much more optimistic financial and healthcare path.

HOW WE DO IT

Easy as One-Two-Three

Evaluation

We pull patients’ electronic records using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) API’s to analyze and look for key clinical indicators. Our proprietary evaluation is based over 20 years of experience with Social Security disability policies, our natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) techniques.

Identification

After the Evaluation phase patient accounts, patient accounts are identified through analyzing and interpreting all stages of the patient process, including scheduling, registration, admission, and discharge. Accounts with high-dollar outstanding amounts, patients with chronic and terminal conditions, and charity care and/or financial assistance accounts to interpret the possibility of Social Security Disability eligibility.

Action

Once the patient accounts with the highest probability are identified, we are able to determine the patients that meet or partially meet the eligibility requirements. We then can compile the data consisting of patient accounts which will provide our team insight to prioritize and determine the appropriate next steps.

We Fit in Your Workflow

We realize the pandemic has created an even greater strain on already overworked healthcare professionals. Because of this, Global CI is prepared to deliver results in the least burdensome manner possible. We will work with your team to alert your case managers, and revenue-cycle team when eligibility changes so they can take the appropriate action. Our sophisticated data mining coupled with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning can provide immediate scoring allowing for fast and decisive action. Additionally, patient records are monitored for changes that may qualify them for benefits and healthcare coverage, alerting your team to changes in status.

AuBiqua is HIPPA compliant and is adapted to your environment with an on-prem or cloud-based solution. Additionally, AuBiqua works with any EMR or data source and integrates into your existing workflow.
