Rethinking revenue collection at military MTFs (medical treatment facilities).
Military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) throughout the nation have felt the impact of the dramatic transition from traditional fee-for-service health insurance coverage to managed care programs. Some facilities have had to struggle to survive. Yet one facility, the Naval Medical Center-San Diego, San Diego, California, nearly doubled its revenue collections in spite of a reduction in billable claims, reduced staff, and a substantial increase in non-billable policies.
