Cash Management Solutions

The Problem:
Inconsistent Cash Flows

  • Identified by hospital executives as their number one financial concern.

The Approach:
A/R Funding Approach

  • Specialized commercial funding and collection services to hospitals and other  healthcare providers regardless of credit ratings

  • CMS is different from other healthcare finance companies in that it bills and collects the invoices purchased

  • The combination of a billing and collection company with a capital partner allows CMS to scrub claims and pre-clear invoices for electronic payment for most major insurers while improving collection times, outcomes and cycles

  • Purchase price of commercial A/R is competitive vs. Factor/Banks/Finco’s

  • Structure is a True-Sale and therefore off-balance sheet and non-recourse

  • Clients have the opportunity to reduce billing and collection costs while improving overall collection rates by 10-15% over 2 years

  • CMS will share 50/50 with the hospital on every dollar of improvement in cash collections and historical collection rates.

The Mechanics:
How CMS provides Cash to the Hospital

  • Hospital submits a batch of commercial insurance claims on daily basis

  • CMS agrees to purchase 100% of all clean commercial insurance claims for 1 year at up to 80% of Historical net Patient Collection Rate ("HCR")

  • CMS processes claims and notifies the medical insurance company to submit payment to our Lockbox

  • CMS monitors cash collections of billings

  • Posts lockbox receipts against claims purchased

  • Returns and agreed % of collections in excess of Purchase Price to the hospital

  • Maximizes contract reimbursement provisions which results in an improvement in overall HCR

  • Hospital and CMS share in improved HCR


$100 Batch Example

 

Improvement in HCR:
Cash and Productivity Improvements

  • CMS Clients benefit from accelerated cash flow and the elimination of billing and collections costs while reducing coding errors, improper reimbursements and rejected claims

  • These savings are significant as most providers pay between 5%-15% to outsources collections and substantially more to maintain an in-house, central billing office with added employee costs

  • CMS will share 50/50 in improved HCR collection rates

  • Participation in the overall improvement of the hospitals collection rates creates an alignment of interests between CMS and its clients


The Competition:
Debt vs. Off-Balance Sheet

CMS is unaware of any other joint venture between a billing and collection company and funding source that provides liquidity, improved collection rates and opportunity to reduce operating costs

 

Target Hospitals and A/R:

  • >$7mm per year in contract commercial insurance billings

  • All hospitals regardless of credit ratings

  • Private HMO, PPO, POS and Indemnity A/R
