ONE Simple Administrative Solution. ONE web portal. ONE point of contact.

At 5ACVO, our ultimate goal is to enable medical providers to maximize patient care while optimizing revenue generation efficiently. Our 5A Smarter Credentialing process is designed to increase your available billing time by an average of five days, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

This efficiency is underscored by research mentioned above from the National Association of Medical Staff Services (NAMSS), which indicates that CVO processing is notably faster than in-house processing at medical facilities. According to the NAMSS Medical Service Staffing Study from September 2009, a CVO’s average turnaround time to verify a file is 5 days faster than that of a specialty hospital and 7 days quicker than an acute hospital. This expedited verification process is crucial in reducing idle time before a physician can begin seeing patients and generating revenue.

Further emphasizing the financial impact of this efficiency, we refer to this Merritt Hawkins study. This study reveals the net average annual revenue generated by primary care physicians. Applying the NAMSS findings of five additional billing days, we calculate an average opportunity increase of $47,196 in net revenue billed per CVO credentialed physician. This figure demonstrates the tangible financial benefits of choosing 5ACVO’s smarter credentialing services, offering not just faster credentialing but also a significant boost in revenue potential for healthcare providers.
