Why there's a gap
Payer enrollment can take months, and claims usually take weeks to pay once you're enrolled. Your costs start on day one.
Plan for it
- Start enrollment as soon as the group exists
- Keep enough cash to cover several months of costs
- Agree payment terms with facilities, and consider asking for a stipend
- Set up electronic payments early
Shorten it
Clean claims sent within days of each case, and fast follow-up on anything unpaid, make the biggest difference. See payer enrollment and starting a CRNA group.
