The Challenge

Health systems that have acquired ambulatory care practices—and independent ambulatory practices alike—face tremendous financial pressures and challenges to financial sustainability. If you’re an ambulatory care leader, you’re looking to improve the efficiency of the services you provide and find cost savings without negatively impacting patient outcomes, the community, or the integrity of the organization. Yet it can be difficult to access data that brings actionable insights to inform decisions to improve patient access, panel management, provider productivity, referral management, or quality scores.

Our Approach

VitalIntegrity Rules delivers proven charge capture logic directly into your environment, enabling teams to identify revenue and compliance opportunities without a new system. 

It provides a review of twelve months of your 837i claims against our set of expert-built rules, with a comprehensive report out on your revenue and compliance issues by service line and rule type. The rules are updated and delivered quarterly, and every six months, you can re-run your 837i claims to ensure charge capture issues are being addressed by the root cause or offending department.  

This approach helps organizations improve charge capture while maintaining current systems, reducing effort, and accelerating time to value. 

How It Works

VitalIntegrity Rules combines proprietary analytics, expert refinement, and ongoing rule delivery to continuously improve charge capture performance. 

  • Baseline analysis. Historical 837i claims data is analyzed using Health Catalyst proprietary rules logic to identify missed charges, compliance risks, and department-level opportunities. 
  • Rule delivery. Rules are delivered in a structured format that includes rule logic, triggers, targets, patient class, and encounter type. 
  • Rule refinement. A designated user can enable or disable rules, refine logic, and mitigate false positives to align with organizational workflows. 
  • Continuous updates. Rule sets are updated quarterly to reflect changes in billing practices and new opportunities. 
  • Ongoing insight. Concierge reporting provides visibility into performance, trends, and recommended actions to improve charge capture and compliance.
