Deviating from this paradigm and indeed fine-tuning the processes to meet the client's exact requirements at micro-levels have made TotalRCM Solutions a Bangalore based end-to-end 360 degree RCM solutions provider to carve its niche in the extremely competitive RCM industry of the US within merely two years after its inception. Chanting loudly the mantra, `your success is our success', TotalRCM banks heavily on its more than 70 people strong team and 100+ years of experience at the management level in different verticals of the US Healthcare business to help its clients focus completely on Patient Care, while the company ascertains that the client optimizes their capabilities and exists as a highly profitable organization.
A Meticulous Approach towards Problem Solving
If an Indian-origin company builds an intact reputation in the competitive US healthcare market, it's beyond any reasonable doubt that the success must have something to do with quality. With TotalRCM, it's not only about the quality of services, but also a meticulous approach and in turn, tangible results. "We do not view our clients as `clients', but as a part of our own company. Having instilled this mentality in our team, it leads to transparent two-way communication & adopting the best practices that suit both the entities. Be it a single provider practice or a large medical group, we, regardless of their size, bank on our extensive experience to make the right decision at the right time to ensure their seamless operation," asserts Prem Kumar, President & COO, TotalRCM Solutions.

A huge chunk of credit however goes to its extremely detailed approach towards tailor-making services. Instead of `selling' its services, TotalRCM, right when it begins, encourages the client to provide all the more information about their workflow, including their precise pain areas, before running their own assessment protocol and research. Such an intensive start acts as an instrumental stride in devising a strategy & solution to address the exact craters. "Amalgamating the collected data with an unparalleled amount of in-house experience and adhering to the workflow followed by the client, we come-up with a suitable operational process, which is agreed & adopted by the client and us, and will benefit both the parties alike," says Vanaraj Baulraj, CEO (India) & President, TotalRCM Solutions. Any further modification on the SOP is subject to a mandatory discussion with and approval of the client before implementation.
"Beyond our intricate approach, the major challenges clients are facing are adapting to the dynamic (operational management) technology landscape and retention of the best talents. We focus extensively on these aspects," asserts Karthik Giriraj, Vice President & Director - Operations, TotalRCM Solutions. He adds, "While we make sure that our employees are always abreast of leveraging the latest technologies like artificial intelligence by encouraging them to constantly attend webinars and conferences, we also give paramount importance to employee satisfaction, alongside ensuring their participation in decision making as the major stakeholders. Hence, they own the responsibilities as well". This proactive thinking ability coupled with its meticulous approach has helped TotalRCM to co-create an overwhelming number of awe-inspiring success stories within the two years of its operation.
A case in point is its recent engagement with one of the reputed healthcare services providers in the US. The client, who ended-up in a blind alley with its previous RCM partner, was struggling with optimizing the revenue potential, and they were collecting only about 60-70 percent of their actual capability. Once TotalRCM came into the picture, it took no time to identify the craters, which included
the issues with Medicaid and a few other insurance programs that drastically pulled back the revenue. It not only fixed the problem, but also executed a process-change that helped monitoring and identifying similar predicaments in the future. "After just two months, we brought-in the highest collection ever in their entire history," adjoins Prem. While the charges remained the same, the financial year ended with the client registering 40 percent more revenue than the previous year.
Making Contributions that Matter
After just three years of its humble beginning registering in the US in 2018 and starting its operations from India in 2019 TotalRCM today is passionate about and obsessed with creating success anecdotes. "Like any other startup, getting our first client on-board and creating successful results to the tune of outperforming our competitors throughout our pilot period were the biggest challenges. Ever since we did that, there was no turning back," adds Vanaraj.

The company gives the lion's share of credit to its workforce that's an ideal balance of fresh and experienced talents. "Our workforce today includes dedicated teams like Appeals Team and specialized Old Accounts Receivable Team. They definitely give us an extra edge to approach problems in a well-informed manner. The sudden outbreak of coronavirus pandemic has posed a big challenge to companies like ours. Total RCM has successfully implemented the work from home option by adopting the latest security standards which have ensured zero loss in productivity and sustaining the same quality of work to the Clients. COVID-19 has increased the scope of TeleHealth wherein the providers and patients interact by means of the latest telecommunication technologies. Debbie has successfully guided the providers in the utilization of TeleHealth and continues to provide current COVID-19 updates," adds Karthik. Above all, while being exemplary in recognizing the hard work and dedication of its employees, the company has also been quite successful in instilling a culture, wherein it encourages employees to respect each other, and work as a team in a transparent environment, which will bring about integrity, innovation, persistence and satisfaction the core values of TotalRCM.
