Vonda Walters from Revenue Integrity Management gave us all a lesson in finding revenue opportunities in chargemasters. Very eye-opening! What are you missing? #arhfma #pigtrailroadshow
1 CommentComment on Facebook
Great information on how Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Hospitals can improve revenue capture by making sure that their Chargemaster is in order and you are capturing all your eligible charges appropriately to ensure you get paid for the services you are providing! RIM Resources is your vendor of choice to help find that lost revenue! Vonda Kay Walters and her team have made it their mission to help providers succeed in this ever changing industry, where we are constantly battling against new challenges! I can assure you that anyone who invests in this service will see a positive return on their investment!
Ozark Health, the only HFMA MAP award winners in Arkansas, provided details on what they went through to win this prestigious award at #arhfma PigTrail Roadshow. Good job presenting by Kristi King and Robin Corley! And congratulations again!

Great information/education and networking shared with Critical Access and Rural Hospitals around the state of Arkansas over the last two months! Thank you Arkansas HFMA for taking the show on the road!
Dr Creshelle Nash, Medical Director at AR BlueCross BlueShield, is a wealth of knowledge about rural health in Arkansas! Great speaker for our final #arhfma Pig Trail Roadshow!

Dr. Nash is passionate about rural healthcare and eager to learn more about healthcare finance and how she and BCBS can help our hospitals build partnerships in communities across the state. I learned something new every time she presented at the P.I.G. Trail to OneHFMA! Thank you, Dr. Nash! #arhfma
Dr. Nash did a great job and I am excited about the future of women’s health opportunities in rural Arkansas! Thank you Arkansas HFMA for sharing this information with us!
So, yesterday at the final stop on the #arhfma PigTrail, the WiFi wouldn’t allow us to post. I’m sending redos! The event was awesome! Thank you to Baptist Health-Drew for hosting! Looking forward to 2025!
