Admissions Is the Financial Front Door of Every Treatment Platform
THE MOST UNDERVALUED REVENUE SYSTEM IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
Admissions determines:
• Census stability
• Payer mix
• Length of stay
• Margin predictability
• Referral trust
The admissions team is the front-line crew, the first impression, the front door managers. It doesn’t matter how good the product is if the client can’t get past the front door.
