Los Angeles, Calif., October
28, 2007
IMPAC Medical Systems, Inc., an Elekta company, and global leader
in oncology information technology solutions, and Revenue Cycle
Inc., a comprehensive business-side evaluation, analysis and
solutions provider for the oncology market, today announced an
agreement under which Revenue Cycle Inc. will offer IMPAC
customers oncology specific reimbursement, billing, and coding
consulting, as well as auditing and on-site training services.
The announcement was made at the 49th Annual Meeting of The
American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO),
held October 28 - November 1 at the Los Angeles Convention
Center. .
“Medical and radiation oncology involve complex and
sophisticated treatments, leading to a complex and challenging
reimbursement model,” says Robert Hubbell, director of Business
Development for IMPAC. “Revenue Cycle Inc. provides our
customers with the expertise necessary to interpret and comply
with ever-changing regulations and procedures, and assists with
the practical application of these procedures. The Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for instance, issues new
or updated regulations on a regular basis. Revenue Cycle Inc.
will help interpret that information for IMPAC customers via
on-site training, publications, seminars, and Webinars.”
Revenue Cycle Inc. will incorporate its knowledge of MOSAIQ™
software into its services for IMPAC customers. “Many of our
customers underestimate the economic benefits of using MOSAIQ to
its full extent, as far as EMR, scheduling and billing
features,” says David Nikolai, Business Marketing Manager for
IMPAC.” One of the goals of this agreement is to help customers
optimize their use of the MOSAIQ system by overlaying Revenue
Cycle Inc.’s coding and reimbursement expertise with the use of
MOSAIQ. By doing this, we enable our users to dramatically
improve their reimbursement rates and maximize their return on
invested capital. They’ll get even more out of their MOSAIQ
system when it’s combined with Revenue Cycle Inc.’s services.”
Located in Austin, Texas (USA), Revenue Cycle Inc. is a
nationally recognized consulting firm delivering comprehensive
business-side evaluation, analysis and solutions for oncology.
Its affiliate company RC Billing is an industry-leading
full-spectrum billing resource specializing in radiation and
medical oncology. Revenue Cycle Inc. was founded in 2002 to
provide oncology and healthcare professionals, practice groups,
and hospitals with expert solutions regarding business,
financial, and management support, and strategic planning.
“We’re very excited about working with IMPAC to help their
customers successfully address reimbursement related issues,
thereby improving efficiency and financial outcomes,” says Sally
Eggleston, director of Business Development for Revenue Cycle
Inc.
