Rick Tsupros, President, Match Point Solutions |
Mr. Tsupros is the president and primary delivery
professional for Match Point Solutions Inc., an
Indianapolis-area company delivering revenue cycle and
contact center operations consulting to the healthcare
industry. He has 35 years of business experience; serving as a human resource professional, internal process improvement officer, and an executive with P&L accountability. He has worked in multiple industries including insurance, healthcare, financial services, transportation, travel and retail. This broad level of experience has given Mr. Tsupros the ability to apply best practices crossing traditional industry boundaries, and uses this expertise to deliver added value to his clients. Six years ago he observed the growing trend for patients to assume an increasing share of their healthcare expenses and realized this trend would adversely impact provider cash flow, bad debt expense and patient satisfaction. This trend, along with government and media attention on healthcare costs, collections practices and charity has placed additional demands on the health care industry to implement more effective and efficient solutions to the self-pay collections process. For the past five years Mr. Tsupros has focused his practice exclusively on helping providers deal with this very real yet sensitive issue by assessing current processes and implementing solutions to improve cash collections and reduce operating overhead and bad debt expense. |
