Season’s Greetings from the QMC family to Yours
BY S. MARK TALLEY, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER *
Greetings QMC Clients and Friends,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. With 2023 drawing to a close, I want to thank you all for allowing us to serve you. 2023 was a year where we saw the most “normalcy” we have seen since the COVID pandemic began. Slowly but surely, we watched the “in-person” meeting augment the “video call” and we loved each opportunity we had to visit with you. Many of those opportunities to have “in-person” interaction and meetings occurred at the many conferences we attended, which were full of attendees for the first time since 2019. We look forward to more opportunities to meet with you in person in the coming year.
2023 also saw a Medicare increase (great news), but the excitement around that news was blunted for many with the increasing challenges of NSA and the chatter about potential steep declines in VA reimbursement. Labor shortages and the rising costs of just about everything also impacted us all.
The coming year remains uncertain, as always, but we know that effective revenue cycle management will be more important than ever. QMC is determined to do all we can to fill that important role for you and we take that job very seriously. In 2023 QMC made major investments in our technology, processes, and people and we expect those investments to benefit our clients greatly. We know the awesome responsibility you have entrusted to us, and we look forward to continuing the partnership with you in 2024.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for an excellent New Year in 2024.
