The client
A leading private healthcare provider.
The challenge
The customer needed a more contemporary and automated approach to substitute their current antiquated billing procedures. The objective was to improve cash flow and substantially reduce the manual workload involved in hospital billings and collections tasks by establishing a centralised ‘hub’.
The solution
As the ‘health fund biller,’ the bot followed these steps after the medical team recorded the patient’s information for billing:
Analysed reports of unpaid bills and selected invoices marked as ‘ready to bill’ for each health fund.
Checked data using specific rules for each health fund.
Sent invoices that the bot couldn’t process to a queue for the human billing team to handle.
Submitted the remaining invoices to each health fund; around 70% of all invoices.
The result
In less than 12 months since implementing the billings bot, the client:
Reduced billing expenses by 70% across all hospitals
Improved DSO by 10 days
Successfully mitigated the risk of health fund bad debt
Achieved centralisation of billing and collections
Seamlessly incorporated additional hospitals into the centralised system without increasing labour costs.
