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.
