A growing number of states are proposing or enacting legislation that requires hospitals to determine a patient’s Financial Assistance Program eligibility before pursuing Extraordinary Collection Actions (ECAs). The implications for hospital revenue could be significant.
This session examines what these laws mean in practice—and what your organization can do to protect its financial position.
By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
- Explain the purpose and value of a hospital lien in the revenue cycle
- Understand the intent behind ECA legislation and how it conflicts with state Hospital Lien statutes
- Identify strategies to push back against ECA legislation that threatens your ability to file a hospital lien against a patient’s personal injury settlement
