Forcura Circle is an e-signature solution that is really catching on among signing providers around the country; more than $729 million in cash has been brought forward to home-based care agencies from providers using it, and that total continues to grow. Knowing how often busy clinicians are hesitant to try new, non-medically related technology, why is this the case?
One reason is that unlike other e-signature products, Circle is creating a growing network of providers and the multiple post-acute care agencies for whom they sign. That means providers can use a single, easy tool to quickly log in, review, sign and return orders and other documents not just for one agency, but all agencies using Circle. Every time a new agency adds Circle to their Forcura solution equates to these providers receiving fewer faxes and phone calls, saving them time and money as they sign and return even more documents in Circle.
This benefit goes both ways. The more physicians and other licensed clinicians using Circle, the greater the chance your agency’s signing providers are already active in Circle. It only takes a quick electronic invite for those providers to start signing your orders in Circle too.
What about your signing providers who aren’t yet in the Circle network? Is it worth waiting for other agencies to get those providers registered before you sign on for Circle?
Here’s where Circle can become your competitive – and financial – advantage. Knowing providers have already declared that Circle is saving their offices time and money by reviewing and signing documents from multiple agencies in a single platform from a single login, your agency can be the first to modernize your relationships with your most strategic provider partners when you introduce Circle to your business process.
Like you, these providers prefer to work with agencies that make it easy to do business. Like you, they must consider their bottom line and determine where they can cut costs and prioritize business partners who don’t have a negative impact on their finances. Circle is the win-win that not only delivers both parties lower overhead but also allows you to bill faster when you receive signed orders faster.
Clients using Circle today see orders signed and returned in an average of less than five days. Signing providers, meanwhile, can perform Care Plan Oversight reporting to ensure that they can bill for their time reviewing care plans.
Lindsay Moritz, Forcura’s Account Management and Outreach Sales Manager, says it best: “Your time interacting with providers is precious; you want to maximize the effectiveness of these encounters in developing strong relationships.” She continues, “Focusing less on end-of-cycle requirements and being able to discuss new revenue potential will give your agency the competitive edge it needs in the years ahead.”
A virtuous circle begins with a single step: using technology that doesn’t just help your bottom line, but those of your most important provider partners. Investing in Circle now can yield more streamlined and cost-effective processes in the short term and more productive and lucrative business relationships for years to come.
