The Two Percent Solution: Avoiding Undercharging and Improving Revenue for Your Hospital [Sponsored]

Add up the healthcare regulatory compliance fines related to non-compliance and settlement costs associated with overcharging, and a hospital could be looking at a significant impact to revenue at a time when margins are eroding.
