Revenue Cycle Solutions

THE SITUATION

Every healthcare provider faces the challenge of providing quality care while remaining financially viable. This is true for hospital providers, health systems, freestanding facilities, and behavioral health providers, as well as physician and non-physician extenders. Because of the nature of each organization, the community it serves, and its own special circumstances, no two providers face the same revenue challenges. So any solution offered by on outside consulting firm needs to be 100% individualized to fit the specific needs of each client. That is precisely what SunStone offers.

We help you identify barriers that prevent your organization from achieving compliance and optimal revenue capture.

To share these best practices, we create educational programs that are delivered in the ideal format for each audience.
