Accreditation and Compliance Consulting - Rockett Healthcare Strategies

Accreditation and Compliance Consulting

With accreditation, not only do you improve your standard of care, but also your private practice’s success.

What Is Compliance and Accreditation Consulting in Private Practice?

Accreditation is the recognition a private practice receives for high standards of care and shows that the organization is committed to ongoing efforts to reduce risks to patients and staff.

Accreditation and compliance consulting helps ensure your private practice can meet and exceed national standards. Accreditation can help your organization grow financially and provide high-quality services.

Overcome the Challenges of Accreditation

There are many significant challenges involved in getting accreditation. Since standards are so high, you need to make sure your practice is ready to go through the process before you apply.

Compliant Documentation

Documentation is massively important for accreditation. Incomplete discharge sheets or unsigned treatment orders can greatly decrease your chances to get or keep an accreditation.

Accreditation Misconceptions

It isn’t unusual to hear that accreditation isn’t worth it or is too expensive. However, the benefits of accreditation reach further than most practices realize. The need to maintain high standard helps to ensure that your practice is continuously improving.

Insufficient Staff and Training

Who your team consists of will depend on your practice, but each part is essential. You will also need to ensure your staff members are up-to-date on their latest training. A compliance consultant can help ensure your staff is up to the task.

Inconsistent Work

To achieve accreditation, you need to make sure all staff are eager to meet the requirements. A consultant can help make sure everyone is working at the highest level possible and delivering care in a timely manner.

The Types of Accreditation and Who Awards Them

There are a variety of recognized agencies that offer accreditation to private practices.

  • The AAAHC offers accreditation for ambulatory healthcare services.
  • The Joint Commission provides accreditation that recognizes quality care and a dedication to patient safety.
  • The NCQA offers a few accreditations primarily focused on patient-centered care.
  • QUAD accreditation prioritizes patient care.
  • IAC focuses on accreditation for quality diagnostic imaging and intervention-based procedures.

The Benefits of Accreditation and Compliance

Private practice consulting and accreditation assistance can help you get on track to enjoy all these benefits to grow your private practice success.

  • Patients enjoy better outcomes and treatments.
  • Accreditation is required in many states, so you get ahead of any future requirements.
  • Insurances recognize accreditation, which will put your company in a better position to negotiate contracts.
  • Your private practice will continue to improve since you will identify your strengths and weaknesses.
  • Your staff will enjoy better training and an enhanced work environment.

Get Started on the Accreditation Process
"Rock and I met when I was considering joining an existing endoscopy center. He helped me do the analysis that showed I'm better off doing procedures in my office and taking advantage of the rates he has negotiated with payers in the Chicago area. In addition to helping me design my center, equipping it, and getting it accredited by AAAASF, Rock has helped us implement multiple revenue streams and significantly increased professional fees over my prior rates. He also worked diligently to recover thousands of dollars in payments from our major payer that had been miscoded and denied."

Dr Manoj Mehta, MD

Endoscopy Center of the North Shore

Wilmette, IL

"Rock Rockett helped us to successfully launch our first healthcare product in the US. His knowledge and experience were instrumental in helping us understand and navigate a complex health system. We are thankful for his guidance and are excited to see what the future holds."

Aonghus Shortt, CEO

FoodMarble Digestive Health

Dublin, Ireland

"We contracted with Rockett Healthcare, LLC to help us develop our endoscopy center and contract with payers. Rock led a very successful contracting effort with the payers and we are earning combined facility and professional fees for office-based procedures that are 200-300% of Medicare ASC rates(depending on the payer). Rock achieved this for us by educating the local Hawaii payers on the value of office endoscopy in Hawaii's regulatory environment which makes it difficult to obtain an ASC license."

Dr Mel Ona, MD

Ohana Endoscopy Clinic

Kapulei, HI

"Rock and I met about 10 years ago when he led the negotiation process to get higher rates from our major payer for office-based procedures. He and his team helped us get our office endoscopy suite accredited and successfully completed negotiations with other payers.

More recently, I engaged Rockett Healthcare, LLC to evaluate the financial feasibility of merging with another GI group in our area. He did a terrific job of assessing the risk and reward potential of that transaction. He regularly proposes new strategies to better manage the practice and grow revenue. Rock is very prompt, forthright gets the job done expeditiously.

Rock’s contacts in the health care/insurance industry and his understanding of medical practices puts him in a unique position to advise physicians."

Suman Kaur, M.D.

Digestive Disease Associates, LTD

Hinsdale, IL

"We worked with Rock from day one of our project to develop a two room endoscopy suite for office based procedures. In addition to guiding the project from start to finish, he also has contracted with almost all of our major payers. His negotiations yielded rates with the payers that are 3x what we were getting when we did endoscopy procedures in surgery centers and hospital outpatient settings. We are grateful for his expertise and persistence in negotiating higher rates on our behalf."
