Plano, TX Sep 18, 2014– When it comes to improving your facility’s cash flow, having the right tools and processes in place is paramount. Many healthcare organizations, both large and small, suffer from having inefficient billing and collections systems as a part of their REVENUE CYCLE infrastructure, and as a result, leave millions of dollars in patient revenue on the table.
To help resolve this issue, we developed two leading web-based collections management and claim statusing applications – AlphaCollector & AutoStatus.
AlphaCollector’s cloud-based virtual business office platform simplifies collections workflow and provides unprecedented reporting capabilities while AutoStatus interfaces with payers & MEDICARE to status electronic claims automatically, eliminating the process of retrieving and updating claims manually. When combined, business offices can eliminate non-value added touches by automatically statusing claims and putting them into a workflow for collections.

Plano, TX Apr 29, 2014 – GAFFEY Healthcare, a leading provider of next generation, cloud-based revenue cycle technology & business office outsourcing services, announced today a new module that updates its claim statusing solution, AutoStatus, to now interface with all Medicare Fiscal Intermediaries in addition to major commercial payors.
Interfacing directly with payors to status electronic claims automates the cumbersome and time-consuming process of retrieving and updating patient claim statuses manually. AutoStatus is a cloud-based data management service that allows providers to automatically review which claims have been processed, adjudicated and prioritize those that require further investigation via an AutoStatus dashboard. When used in conjunction with GAFFEY’s workflow automation & business intelligence platform, AlphaCollector, Medicare claims can be prioritized and routed to specific collectors to create workgroups, eliminating non-value added touches due to increased automation. Problem accounts are identified and resolved faster while AlphaCollector provides data and reports to reduce denials and increase clean claim rates.
“Medicare reimbursements oftentimes make up more than 50% of our customers’ AR. Providing automation tools and better visibility into the status of those claims not only gives them a clear picture as to where their AR stands in real-time but also actionable data for follow up,” said Derek Morkel, CEO of GAFFEY Healthcare. “The automated ability to status Medicare claims allows our customers to collect money more efficiently,” he continued.

Plano, TX Mar 18, 2014 – GAFFEY Healthcare, a leading provider of cloud-based revenue cycle management software & business office outsourcing services, has announced that it has entered into a multi-year agreement to provide full outsourcing services to East Liverpool City Hospital, a short-term acute care facility located in East Liverpool, Ohio.
The outsourcing services will be provided out of GAFFEY Healthcare’s state-of-the-art centralized business office in Plano, Texas. In addition to services, GAFFEY Healthcare will also provide a fully comprehensive business office software suite, including billing & claims management, contract management, automatic claim statusing and their collections & workflow automation tool, AlphaCollector.
“When considering our options for outsourcing, an important factor for us was to find a partner who brought the right combination of people, processes and technology,” said Kyle Johnson, CFO of East Liverpool City Hospital. “From the onset, GAFFEY Healthcare displayed that they could provide both the experienced personnel that we lacked and the technology that was out of our reach. We now have access to both human and technological resources that would otherwise not be available to a hospital of our size.”
“It’s becoming increasingly challenging for healthcare providers to independently navigate complex regulatory changes and remain financially sustainable in today’s atmosphere of economic uncertainty,” added Derek Morkel, CEO of GAFFEY Healthcare. “We’re pleased to have the Hospital as a partner and are confident that we can help lift those burdens and allow them to focus on their mission to provide the community of East Liverpool with the highest level of care.”

Plano, TX Mar 25, 2014 – GAFFEY Healthcare, a leading provider of next generation, cloud-based revenue cycle management software & business office outsourcing services, has announced the release of its latest product, a document management and file organization system called Document Genie.
Document Genie is a powerful cloud-based file management system that is used to associate files with claims. Designed to help healthcare organizations manage their documents, it transforms the piles of EOB’s, revenue cycle paperwork, contracts and other documents into digital file catalogues that can be accessed from anywhere. Document Genie seamlessly integrates with GAFFEY Healthcare’s workflow automation & business intelligence platform, AlphaCollector, to provide the ability to tag or associate any document with a field in AlphaCollector – enhancing education, scripting and document reference. The system accepts all scanned documents and is fully encrypted to remain HIPAA compliant.
“The GAFFEY Healthcare team is extremely excited at the release of Document Genie. The efficient management of documents, files and images is a critical component of almost any healthcare process today,” said GAFFEY Healthcare CEO, Derek Morkel. “Document Genie adds significant capabilities to our next generation cloud based RCM platform – especially in terms of automation, efficiency and, equally as important, safety. A safe and secure document management workflow platform is a critical component of an efficient process.”
