CASE STUDY 2
Ambulatory Surgery Center | EM Surgery Center
The Challenge
Net collection improved to 96.5%. Bad debt dropped to 1.95%.
Ambulatory surgery centers operate on tight margins. Billing errors, slow collections, and high bad debt ratios compound quickly. EM Surgery Center partnered with MHS to bring discipline and expertise to their revenue cycle — and saw results across every key metric.

What This Means In Practice
A 9-day reduction in AR means cash arrives faster and stays in the practice longer. The difference between 93% and 96.5% net collection represents significant revenue recovered annually. The reduction in bad debt reflects cleaner upfront processes and stronger follow-through on outstanding balances — not just faster billing, but better billing.
