Pulse Systems Named “Top Performing Vendor” in Revenue Cycle Management Services for Ambulatory Practices
October 13 2016 - 11:18AM
KLAS, a research and insights firm aiming to improve healthcare
delivery, released a 2016 Ambulatory Billing Services Study today
ranking several vendors who provide Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)
services to both small and large practices. In the small practice
space (one to 10 physicians), Pulse Systems was named a “top
performing vendor.”
“RCM is a growing space and a major focus for Pulse. We see that
rising healthcare expenditures along with complex technology and
staffing requirements under value-based care are driving more and
more physician practices to outsource this critical function of
their business,” said Chris Walls, president and chief executive
officer of Pulse Systems. “One thing that sets us apart from our
competitors is we can cater our RCM Services to a practice’s
individual needs, whether that is full-scope billing and
collections or even what system they work off of.”
In the Ambulatory Billing Services Report, KLAS found that just
two-thirds of practices who have adopted RCM services have found
them to be worth the investment and has improved their
efficiency.
According to a Pulse client and Office Manager interviewed in
the report, “Pulse definitely gets an A+. They seem to be on top of
everything. They helped with our transition to their services
really well. They helped me with all of the forms and things that
we needed for electronic filing. They have just given me a lot of
guidance, whereas the other company almost kept me in the
dark.”
Four critical factors influence a provider’s experience with
their RCM services vendor: (1) transparency into billing/financial
operations, (2) quality of vendor guidance, (3) effectiveness of
account management, and (4) quality of denials and rejection
management. Pulse’s service area rankings were far above the market
average for ambulatory practices:

“Practices are always amazed by the potential of increased
revenue they can realize by outsourcing their billings and
collections to Pulse. Before signing any contract, we can take a
hard look at your financials and show exactly where you can improve
to earn your money faster,” said Chris Walls.
Each year, KLAS interviews thousands of healthcare professionals
about the vendor products and services their organizations use.
These interviews are conducted using a standard quantitative
evaluation, and the scores and commentary collected are shared
online in real time so that other providers and IT professionals
can benefit from their peers’ experience. To supplement the data
gathered with this standard evaluation, KLAS also creates various
supplemental evaluations that target a subset of KLAS’ overall
sampling and delve deeper into the most pressing questions facing
healthcare technology today.
