Close the month in two business days, with no surprises. Excalibur embeds revenue cycle experts who have run hospital business offices, makes their work visible through the AskMerlin analytics platform, and hardwires the result into your income statement. We call it Merlin as a Service.
Hard ROI, documented across client engagements. Not a sales projection. See results.
Seven steps, one spine. Click any seat at the table to see what happens there, and what it means on your income statement.
Excalibur measures and calculates your organization's real economic opportunity: the gap between the net revenue you book and the net revenue your contracts, volumes and payer mix should produce. A precise economic opportunity analysis, not a generic assessment.
You get a number you can defend to the board.
From the assessment, Excalibur suggests powerful targets at both an executive level (cash, net days, A/R over 90, net denial impact) and a tactical level (payer-specific, function-specific), so every leader knows the where and the why.
Targets that reconcile to the income statement, not to a dashboard.
Excalibur teaches, or helps implement, an approach and a cadence for measuring key leading and lagging indicators against the recommended targets. Daily, weekly and monthly. Before the first cup of coffee.
The story of the month is visible on day six, not day thirty-two.
Where opportunities arise, Excalibur applies Pillars, Objectives, Strategies and Tactics (POST) to solve complex business challenges and improve cash flow, net revenue, realization and receivables.
Operators who have run the business office, not a slide deck.
Where desired, Excalibur provides staff augmentation or strategic outsourcing to help you resolve business challenges and hardwire success. Full back-end revenue cycle, self-pay, payment discrepancy resolution, legacy A/R run-out and more.
Capacity on demand, measured against the same targets.
As a trusted revenue cycle adviser, Excalibur delivers industry-leading, account-level A/R valuation and the actionable insights that maximize financial performance. Multiple methods, triangulated, so Finance sees its largest asset from more than one angle.
Reserves your auditors, your board and your bond rating can rely on.
Excalibur partners with CFOs and revenue cycle teams to accelerate month-end close with proactive insights and a Revenue Cycle Income Statement delivered in two business days or less.
Manage cash instead of answering month-end questions for ten days.
We do not sell software with services attached. We sell embedded revenue cycle expertise, illuminated and hardwired by AskMerlin, our analytics platform. The expertise is the product. The platform is how you see it working.
Embedded, consultative healthcare finance professionals who have run hospital business offices. Not a software vendor with a support line.
See professional servicesOur analytics platform does not replace the expertise. It makes the outcome visible every month, at the payer level, down to the account.
See the platformNot a dashboard to interpret. A result, delivered and sustained, with the discipline of daily measurement behind it.
See resultsAskMerlin anticipates how different roles consume data. Each application is built for the person who lives in it every day, from the CFO's daily summary to the analyst's unlimited drill-down.
Excalibur works with providers of every size and type, from Critical Access and rural facilities to large for-profit systems. The fit is about the leader, not the logo.
Top performers at systems of any size who want a trusted second set of eyes. The best athletes keep a small circle of coaches.
Schedule a conversationData-driven leaders whose revenue cycle or finance team is struggling and who cannot justify a Big 5 engagement.
Schedule a conversationBright and capable, but not yet sure what to measure, at what frequency, or how to drive the revenue cycle team through indicators.
Schedule a conversationOur leadership and staff built their careers inside provider revenue cycle teams, not in a classroom. That is what lets us combine custom solutions with universally proven revenue cycle principles, instead of recommending a cookie-cutter approach from a firm that has never worked a Friday close.
“Every employee at Excalibur, from the janitor to the CEO, knows that allowance volatility is the enemy.”Zane Newitt, CEO and Founder
Income Statement Aligned Revenue Cycle Management is Excalibur's approach of synchronizing every revenue cycle strategy, campaign, method and measurement with the provider's income statement and balance sheet. Instead of managing by days in A/R alone, leaders manage cash, contractuals, bad debt and net revenue at the payer level, daily, so the month-end close holds no surprises.
Merlin as a Service (MaaS) is Excalibur's engagement model: embedded revenue cycle expertise delivered alongside the AskMerlin analytics platform as one engagement. It is not software as a service. The expertise is the product; AskMerlin is how the outcome is illuminated and hardwired.
