CASE STUDY:

PROVIDING SUPPORT IN A BILLING TRANSITION

In January 2021, Advanced Hospice management began working with Hospice of Lansing in Lansing, Michigan, after its in-house biller retired. John Person, the executive director of the agency, needed expert revenue cycle management services and decided to consider outsourcing their billing needs. Looking for a reliable service provider that thoroughly understood the hospice billing industry, the agency contacted Advanced Hospice Management.
