Revenue Cycle Management

Revenue Cycle Management

Instead of a fixed cost often associated with internal revenue cycle employees and other required purchased services, Amblitel’s charges are based on a percentage of net collections received. As such, An ASCs revenue cycle costs are therefore variable based on net collections thus providing better control over an ASCs expenses and profit margin.
