National Patient Account Management Week, observed each year in October, is a week-long celebration that shines a spotlight on the dedicated individuals who manage patient accounts and ensure the financial well-being of healthcare institutions like Estes Park Health!
The week was established on October 18, 1989 by a proclamation from the U.S. Congress.
Healthcare financial professionals perform a range of critical functions, from billing and insurance claims processing to managing patient payments and helping to keep healthcare organizations financially sound.
