Superior results through complete oversight of the revenue cycle
• Fragmented solutions are sub-optimal, with no complete view of data
• Competitors with limited scope can only deliver limited value
• Root cause analysis shows significant problems are caused by poor inputs
• Garbage in…garbage out!

The decision to classify a patient as inpatient versus
observation for billing purposes is based on complex medical judgment
Accretive’s licensed physicians consider a number of factors when making their
billing classification recommendations to our clients’ medical staff:
• Patient’s medical history and current medical needs
• Types of facilities available to outpatients and inpatients
• Relative appropriateness of treatment in each setting
• Severity of signs and symptoms
• Medical predictability of adverse events
