7 Reasons why healthcare companies are acquiring PPMCs
Physician practice managers offer healthcare companies a viable solution to improve their processes and patient satisfaction.
The daily demands of operating and running private medical practice are becoming a burden for many clinics and private hospitals. The solution? Tapping physician practice management companies (PPMCs). Here are eight reasons why healthcare companies are increasingly acquiring PPMCs or medical practice management companies.
1. PPMCs take over the non-medical tasks
PPMCs take over the non-clinical business concerns, administrative tasks, and staff management. Some of the services PPMCs provide are in the following areas:
- Equipment and facility leasing
- Compliance
- Technological and informational support systems
- Marketing and promotion
- Public Relations
- Daily operations management and administrative work
- Accounting and bookkeeping
- Billings
- Insurance verification, claims submission and collection
- Contracting
- Financial management
2. Acquiring PPMCs allows healthcare companies to focus on patients
As implied in the previous number, physician practice managers are essentially employees who fulfill roles outside the clinical scope — this allows medical professionals to have their 100% focus on their patients, resulting in the highest quality care. For instance, a PPMC staff can do all the administrative tasks involved in medical transactions for a specific doctor, like appointment scheduling and insurance verification. This way, the doctor only has to worry about the health concerns of the patient.
3. Healthcare companies can efficiently manage their budgets with PPMCs
Acquiring PPMCs works like outsourcing administrative tasks for these healthcare companies. Private hospitals, for instance, can outsource recruitment services to help fill in their medical rosters instead of hiring their own recruiters.
