Case Study: Critical Care Hospital increases collections with AnnexMed

Critical Care Hospital adds $325K in collections with AnnexMed

Critical Care Hospital, a small rural facility managing high-acuity patients, faced challenges with underreported critical care time and inconsistent coding practices, which created a gap between the care delivered and the reimbursement captured. The hospital partnered with AnnexMed for its revenue cycle management services to improve critical care capture, documentation accuracy, and coding consistency.

AnnexMed implemented a solution that included encounter-level reviews, documentation alignment training for physicians, and coding validation checkpoints. This approach resulted in a 27% increase in charge capture and a 34% reduction in coding variance, adding $325,000 in collections for the hospital.
