CUSTOMER SERVICE WEEK 2023
Thousands of companies across the United States and around the world are recognizing Customer Service Week, October 2-6, 2023. In 1992, the U.S. Congress proclaimed Customer Service Week a nationally recognized event, to be celebrated annually during the first full week in October. This year, the theme for Customer Service Week is “team service.”
FRESH PERSPECTIVES ON LEADERSHIP WITH HFMA’S IDAHO CONFERENCE SPEAKERS
Last week, Invicta’s leadership team participated in the HFMA Idaho Chapter’s Summer Conference in picturesque McCall. Invicta’s Chief Client Officer, Jude Crowell, served as one of the speakers for the annual event, and our Chief Executive Officer, Donny Zamora, shared his takeaways with us.
INVICTA TURNED IT UP AT HFMA
Members of Invicta’s leadership team participated in the HFMA 2023 Conference in Nashville that began this past Sunday. The conference theme this year was “Cost Effective Health: Turn It Up,” a perfect fit considering the post-COVID Medicaid coverage roll-backs and skyrocketing insurer costs. We asked Invicta’s Chief Executive Officer, Donny Zamora, to recap.
Managing 2023 Medicaid Changes State-by-State, Client-by-Client, Patient-by-Patient
In the spring of 2020, Congress passed the “Medicaid continuous coverage requirement,” which asserted that all states were required to keep Medicaid enrollees in the program until the end of the public health emergency (PHE) related to COVID. In December of 2022, Congress advised that the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement would be winding down. As early as February of this year, many states started reviewing Medicaid enrollees for benefits. As a result of this “back to business” adjustment, sources indicate that 15-20 million Medicaid beneficiaries are at risk of losing coverage, and hospitals are at risk of losing Medicaid reimbursement revenue for previously eligible patients.

Last week, members of Invicta’s leadership team from around the country converged in Washington, D.C. for Inovalon’s Customer Congress and again in Chicago, Illinois for Becker’s Healthcare 7th Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Annual Meeting. We asked Derek Shaw, Invicta’s President, to outline key takeaways from both events.
The Case for Volunteerism in Employee Engagement at Invicta
Employee retention and engagement is top of mind for executives across all industries. The “great resignation,” “quiet quitting,” “upskilling,” “reskilling,” and many other hot terms have arisen in strategic discussions about the psyche of the current workforce. Donny Zamora, Invicta’s Chief Executive Officer, shares some insights from Invicta’s leadership team.
Invicta Travels Above and Beyond with HFMA
Last week, members of Invicta’s leadership team from around the country converged in Denver, Colorado to attend the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s 2022 Annual Conference, “Above and Beyond,” and several associated events and activities. Upon reflection, those who participated collectively agreed that “above and beyond” was a truly fitting title to capture the spirit of the events. The conference kicked off with a stimulating keynote address by Dr. Zeev Neuwirth, who serves as the Clinical Chief of Care Transformation & Strategic Services for Atrium Health. Neuwirth provided insights on how the current healthcare system can and should shift to embrace disruption and create new value.
JUDE CROWELL RECEIVES HFMA INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Technology Intellect and RCM Automation Accessibility
Collaboration in Revenue Cycle Management
At Invicta Health Solutions, our culture is based on an active service model that is directed to serve our employees, our healthcare system clients and their patients, and our communities around the nation. Early in the Company’s inception, the executive team defined six Guiding Principles that are core to the very foundation of our Brand: Integrity, Innovation, Collaboration, Value, Respect, and Trust. I would like to focus on Collaboration in this brief missive.
Out-of-State Medicaid Billing
Successful execution and measurable results from Out-of-State Medicaid Billing activity hinge on two related challenges: State Registration and Enrollment, and Regulatory nuances and changes. To receive payments for a state’s Medicaid services, a provider must enroll in the patient’s respective “home” state program and provide an often extensive amount of proprietary and/or confidential data. Further, each state sets its own payment rates for out-of-state providers. Not surprisingly, out-of-state payment rates are typically lower than in-state. Providers can get ahead of the process by working with a trusted partner like Invicta to break through roadblocks and stay abreast of continuous state-by-state changes.
Is there a Secret Sauce for Best Practice RCM Implementation?
Creating new systems and working on the deployment of new revenue cycle management services and solutions can be equally frustrating for health care administrators and for service partners and vendors. A smooth implementation execution sets the tone for the relationship going forward.
New Year, New Goals
Now that we’ve ushered in 2022 with shiny new goals and KPIs, what will we do to ensure that we meet or exceed these ambitious goals? How can we arm our clients with the right services to match their most pressing needs and improve their net financial performance?
Season’s Greetings from Team Invicta
Invicta’s CEO Highlights 2021
As we move toward the end of 2021, we have grown tired of hearing the catch phrases of 2021 – “pivot,” “unprecedented times,” “meet people where they are,” “virtual,” “big data,” and so forth. And yet, there is a reason these overused words continue to populate the conversations in Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management and across all other industries: They are what we’ve lived this year.
We asked our Chief Executive Officer, Donny Zamora, for his thoughts on 2021 – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
GAMIFICATION IN REVENUE CYCLE PRODUCTIVITY
Last month, Invicta’s President, Derek Shaw, participated in a Modern Healthcare webinar along with Dawn Lunde, Senior Director of Sales Engineering for ABILITY Network, and Tony Rinkenberger, Revenue Cycle Executive & Management Consultant with Innovo Advisors. Dawn Lunde led Derek and Tony through a lively conversation focused on improving productivity in the Revenue Cycle Management process. You can watch the webinar here and/or read the abstract of the webinar in this month’s issue of Modern Healthcare, which published yesterday.
Invicta Gets Real on Primary Enrollment in 2021
The field of healthcare revenue cycle management continues to rapidly change as technology and pressure from external forces create opportunity for greater impact with both patients and their families, as well as the hospital facilities that care for them.

DISRUPTING DENIAL MANAGEMENT
Denial Management is the process of investigating every unpaid claim a hospital receives from payers, identifying and preventing or correcting human error, and appealing to the insurance carrier. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? In fact, Denial Management is one of the most challenging and time-consuming processes in revenue cycle management services. We recently asked Invicta’s Chief Client Officer, Jude Crowell, to share his experiences with Denial Management in the field and to articulate what differentiates Invicta Health Solutions as a service provider for hospitals and health systems in this specialized discipline.
INVICTA MAKES THE CASE FOR REAL TIME CLAIM STATUS SOLUTIONS
As creators and early adopters in Robotic Process Automation development, API design and development, and systems integration technology, Invicta’s technology engineers approach their work in the revenue cycle management field with a mandate from leadership to “innovate and automate.” Our engineers are deployed to every project to ensure seamless data transfers between Invicta and clients and to ensure that every project aligns with Invicta’s best practices in process development. Our RCM methodology originates from a migration plan model with an evolving suite of Solutions and Services to amplify areas of work that have the highest return on investment and lowest cost impacts for Invicta as well as our clients.
INVICTA’S FIVE THINGS TO CONSIDER IN YOUR REVENUE CYCLE MANAGEMENT JOURNEY
In the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s 2021 Health IT & Corporate Services survey, the responses and expressed needs perfectly mirrored the trend-setting automation experience that Invicta has traversed with its clients. Becker’s Hospital Review’s article calls out top survey insights from Guidehouse.
Most notably, about 50% of executives surveyed said their “hospitals are monitoring the use of automation technologies to improve accuracy and reduce costs,” a near triple digit increase from 2020. Also notable, almost half of those respondents are not seeing profitable results yet. That’s where we can help.
REAL-TIME CLAIM STATUS AND ELIGIBILITY CHECKS ARE BUSINESS AS USUAL AT INVICTA
Invicta’s technology solutions for revenue cycle management are all about optimizing processes, saving time and increasing revenue. We asked Invicta’s Division President, Derek Shaw, to talk to us about what’s on his mind these days in the tech solutions space.
What are you most excited about right now?
That’s a loaded question! We definitely have some new services and solutions in the pipeline. That said, I think one of our best technology solutions for clients right now is access to real-time claim status to 700+ payers nationwide and real-time eligibility checks for more than 1,000 payers.
HOLIDAY GREETINGS FROM INVICTA
As we wrap up this most extraordinary year, we’d like to extend our thanks and good wishes for you and yours. At Invicta Health Solutions, we are invested in the success of the communities in which we live and work. Our culture is based on an active service model that is directed to serve our employees, our healthcare system clients and their patients, and our communities around the nation. As part of our holiday “giveback,” Invicta employees across the United States volunteered during the first two weeks of December to: pack/prep more than 5,000 meals; pack 3,000 bags of apples and corn into sustainable meal packages; move nearly 1 ton of food; complete numerous contact-free activities through our InvictaSERV community service initiative. Since food banking organizations have greatly struggled this year with inventory needs and reduced volunteerism, we selected non-profits focused on food insecurity.
Best wishes for 2021 from all of us #behindtheshield at Invicta Health Solutions!
