Complex Plastic Surgery Operations Case Study | RevOne Health
RevOne Health Approach

How the RevOne Health Approach strengthened revenue cycle controls for a complex plastic surgery practice.

A complex plastic surgery practice needed stronger control over patient credits, payment posting, authorizations, patient statements, high-value AR, payer appeals, documentation readiness, and credentialing workflows.

The Challenge

Where the revenue cycle needed stronger control

The practice had meaningful opportunity, but the billing operation needed more speed, clearer ownership, stronger follow-up, and better visibility into the issues affecting collections.

Patient credits needed careful control

Credits were created by cosmetic prepayments, packages, small balances, and future visit deposits.

Payment posting had many exceptions

ERA posting, manual EOBs, document attachments, deposits, overpayments, and refunds required disciplined handling.

Authorizations were payer-specific

Each payer, facility, procedure, surgery date, CPT, ICD-10, and network scenario required careful verification.

High-value AR required escalation

Complex surgical claims involved denials, underpayments, medical records, appeals, contract references, and payer follow-up.

Our Work

How RevOne Health improved the process

The RevOne Health Approach combined operational review, workflow discipline, payer follow-up, performance tracking, and specialty-specific revenue cycle knowledge.

Knowledge transition

Recorded training and expert knowledge were converted into step-by-step workflow documentation.

Payment and credit controls

Unapplied funds, credit balances, refunds, patient transfers, and month-end payment cleanup were organized.

Authorization discipline

Benefit verification, posting sheet review, reference numbers, screenshots, admit dates, and documentation were reinforced.

AR escalation strategy

High-value payer issues were tracked, appealed, documented, and escalated with surgical and contract support.

Outcome

Operational Improvements

The practice gained stronger visibility and control across the revenue cycle. Workflows that depended heavily on individual knowledge became more structured, documented, and easier to manage.

What changed

  • Approximately $4.5M in AR followed up across 140 claims.
  • Hospital record tracking improved by approximately 85%.
  • Patient statement review became more structured and patient-sensitive.
  • Authorization workflows became clearer and better documented.
  • Payment posting, credit balances, transfers, and refund controls became more organized.
  • Payer escalation improved across complex surgical claims.

Complex plastic surgery billing requires payment controls, authorization discipline, documentation review, payer-specific escalation, patient balance sensitivity, and process visibility working together.
