Meet Maggie Eaton, part of our Medical Billing Team!

Maggie brings 22 years of experience in the medical field to AMS, spanning everything from psychiatry to pediatric urgent care. There's hardly a specialty she hasn't tackled, and that range has made her a truly gifted and compassionate communicator, someone who practices trust to get their billing right.

Outside of work, Maggie loves traveling to the Caribbean. But when she's home in North Carolina, you'll find her and her husband on a good old-fashioned road trip, complete with country roads, country music, and their dog.

We're lucky to have her on the team!

High-performing revenue cycles don't happen by chance. They're built intentionally, one improvement at a time.

The practices that consistently perform well don't always have larger teams or better technology. They have better processes, clearer accountability, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

And the improvements that make the biggest difference rarely require a major overhaul. Better insurance verification. Stronger documentation. Reviewing denial trends instead of treating each one as isolated. Defining who owns what when something goes wrong.

Small changes made consistently over time. That's what separates average practices from exceptional ones. Read the full article today: https://appliedmedicalsystems.com/why-high-performing-revenue-cycles-dont-happen-by-accident/

A report full of numbers isn't the same as having meaningful insight. Every month, healthcare leaders review the same data. Collections. Denials. A/R. Payments. But knowing what happened and understanding what it means are two very different things.

A good revenue cycle dashboard should answer five questions every single month. Are we collecting everything we've earned? Where are we losing money? Which problems keep happening? Are our improvement efforts actually working? And where should leadership focus next?

When your dashboard can answer those questions clearly, you stop reacting to data and start making decisions that actually improve performance.

Our latest blog breaks down all five questions and what your dashboard should be telling you. Read the full blog today: https://appliedmedicalsystems.com/news/

When collections decline or denials increase, the billing team gets the first phone call. But billing is rarely where the problem started.

The revenue cycle begins the moment a patient schedules an appointment. Every department that touches the patient experience also affects whether your practice gets paid accurately and on time.

Scheduling. Registration. Providers. Coding. Credentialing. Leadership. Every single one plays a role.

Most healthcare organizations manage their revenue cycle. The highest-performing ones govern it.

They sound like the same thing, but they represent two very different approaches. Managing means keeping the work moving. Submitting claims, following up on denials, and appealing rejections. It's essential work that keeps the practice running.

Governing means asking the harder questions. Why do the same denials keep happening? Which department owns the problem? What changes will actually prevent it from happening again?

Management fixes the claim. Governance fixes the process. And practices that consistently perform well do both.
