One of our own RCMs says it best:

“Other companies are $$ driven. It is all about how to save/cut costs while they pile more and more work on. Our RCM position is working for a company that will actually obtain the needed supplies and tools to provide excellent care for our Residents. Our model is not about income, but about great care.

There is longevity in our team of RCM’s. Most of us have been here for 4+ yrs. When we have only been open 5, this says a lot. It is not all perfect but it shows dedication and job satisfaction.

I know that more and more companies are going toward MDS coordinators. We still do our own, but we do it with at least HALF the amount of Residents. 21-28 is not a usual case load. Example: The last company I worked for, my max was 40 and my usual was 30-35 depending on census.

Another bonus is our very low skilled population. We are long term focused.”
