According to the American Medical Association, medical practices lose around 10 to 30% of their total revenue due to poor bookkeeping, coding, and documentation errors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid such common losses, clinics need to incorporate a&nbsp;healthcare bookkeeping and&nbsp;accounting system that has the capacity to handle the financial complexity of healthcare. An ideal&nbsp;<strong>accounting<\/strong>&nbsp;system has three sides: it records your past transactions,&nbsp;maintains&nbsp;your current financial&nbsp;operatives,&nbsp;and&nbsp;helps accommodate the future&nbsp;financial management&nbsp;of the clinic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporation of such a system&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;happen&nbsp;overnight;&nbsp;it&nbsp;requires a gradual shift from general to specialized&nbsp;<strong>healthcare accounting<\/strong>. A strategic shift requires understanding what makes healthcare accounting different from general accounting and how to bridge that gap while&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;current operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog discusses the key differences between the various accounting systems in detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_50

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare accounting is a specialized form of accounting that involves managing and documenting the financial activities of healthcare institutions. These institutions include, but are not limited to, hospitals, clinics, and doctors\u2019 offices. Healthcare accounting entails the analysis of the special revenue cycle, which requires dealing with various complexities associated with insurance payments. Additionally, healthcare accounting involves adherence to certain compliance standards such as ASC 954.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the duties performed by the healthcare accountant are handling large volumes of data from transactions, such as accounts receivable, inventory, and even payroll. Cash and accrual accounting are some of the techniques used by the healthcare accountant to measure how well the organization is performing. The healthcare accountant ensures compliance&nbsp;to&nbsp;the laws and regulations governing the organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_healthcare_accounting_and_general_accounting\"><\/span>What is the difference between healthcare accounting and general accounting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The significant differences between health care accounting and general accounting include that the former is specially designed to cater to the reimbursement process, regulatory requirements, and\u00a0earning\u00a0revenue for the health care sector. The latter focuses on accounting records, which involve recording revenues and expenditures,\u00a0considering the previously recorded financial transactions. Differences between health care accounting and general accounting are illustrated below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Feature<\/strong>\u00a0<\/th><th><strong>Healthcare Accounting<\/strong>\u00a0<\/th><th><strong>General Accounting<\/strong>\u00a0<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Revenue Source<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Complex: Multiple payers (Medicare, Medicaid, Private Insurance, Patients)&nbsp;<\/td><td>Simple: Direct customer payments or straightforward client billing&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Revenue Recognition<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Accrual-based; complex due to lag between service and payment&nbsp;<\/td><td>Can be cash or accrual-based; revenue typically matches invoice time&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Regulatory Focus<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Intense: HIPAA, Stark Law, Medicare\/Medicaid compliance&nbsp;<\/td><td>General: Tax law, GAAP, and corporate reporting standards&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cost Tracking<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Department-specific (e.g., radiology vs. nursing), patient-specific, and DRG tracking&nbsp;<\/td><td>Broad, company-wide cost tracking&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Metrics (KPIs)<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Value-based care, RVUs, cost per case, payer-level dashboards&nbsp;<\/td><td>Revenue growth, gross margin, operating margin&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Unique Challenges<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td>High&nbsp;bad debt, charity care, contract adjustments, regulatory changes&nbsp;<\/td><td>Standard&nbsp;bad debt&nbsp;expense, standard inventory management&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Healthcare_Accounting_is_Different_from_General_Accounting\"><\/span>Why Healthcare Accounting is Different from General Accounting\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Differences between&nbsp;<strong>healthcare accounting<\/strong>&nbsp;and general accounting arise because of the above-mentioned structural, systematic, risk, and social elements. Some of them include the need to combine clinical operation information with financial information, as well as the fact that reporting of information concerning patient safety is a matter of life and death and thus cannot be compromised in any way. Its structure has high fixed costs that make it unlike commercial operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Complicated Billing and Reimbursement<\/strong>: Whereas in other sectors there may be&nbsp;a relatively uncomplicated&nbsp;payment system, in the healthcare sector, payment is much more complicated due to the involvement of many payors, which include Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies that have their own different fees. Payment is not usually equivalent to the total bill charged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integration of clinical information with financials<\/strong>: Accounting in healthcare needs to incorporate financial indicators with clinical indicators like volume, turnovers, and acuities. This helps tie the performance (for instance, staffing) to the financials and helps&nbsp;identify&nbsp;how costs arise, as opposed to focusing only on the total amount spent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost Structure with High Fixed Costs<\/strong>: The healthcare sector features cost structures characterized by&nbsp;very high&nbsp;levels of fixed costs, such as salaries, specialized medical equipment, and infrastructure maintenance costs, which remain&nbsp;relatively constant&nbsp;regardless of changes in the number of patients being attended to. This cost structure demands highly advanced approaches to cost accounting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regulatory Overlap<\/strong>: The financial recording and reporting in&nbsp;<strong>healthcare accounting<\/strong>&nbsp;is highly regulated by many regulatory bodies that provide guidelines on how the accounting information should be recorded and made available. Non-compliance attracts serious sanctions, thus making financial reporting inseparable from the law of healthcare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revenue Cycle Issues<\/strong>: In the field of healthcare, revenue cycles are long and convoluted, starting from the appointment at the front end, medical coding in the middle end, and finally claims processing at the back end. It becomes necessary for accounting to handle complex claim denials and patient payments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/contact-us\/?utm_medium=orgnc&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=us&amp;utm_content=consulting&amp;utm_term=in-content-cta-blog-banner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Outsource-Accounting-Services-CTA-1024x367.jpg\" alt=\"Outsourcing Revenue Cycle Management\" class=\"wp-image-2783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Outsource-Accounting-Services-CTA-1024x367.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Outsource-Accounting-Services-CTA-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Outsource-Accounting-Services-CTA-768x276.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Outsource-Accounting-Services-CTA-1536x551.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.acobloom.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Outsource-Accounting-Services-CTA.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_Before_Transitioning_from_General_Accounting_to_Healthcare_Accounting\"><\/span>Best Practices Before Transitioning from General Accounting to Healthcare Accounting\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to seeking the services of a healthcare accounting system, healthcare facilities&nbsp;have to&nbsp;create&nbsp;an appropriate working&nbsp;environment and adopt certain strategies.
