Hidden Costs of the Cheapest Choice for HH Reviews

In today’s world, where budget constraints are a reality for many, opting for the cheapest option can seem like a good decision. However, the old adage “you get what you pay for” often rings true. While the initial savings can be tempting, the long-term consequences may not always align with the value you expect.

• Quality and Consistency – the cheaper alternatives are often sent off shore to cheaper labor.  You often do not know who is in your records at any given time.

• Limited Access and Responsiveness to Issues – You often get the “run around” when an issue arises.  Due to shear number of reviewers it is a “pass the buck” mentality.

• Ethical and Compliance Considerations – There is no proof that using off-shore companies is safe for PHI and patient data safety.

• Opportunity Cost – With the cheaper companies you get “what you pay for” and nothing else.  As a partner with K&K we take your agency’s success personally and will help you get your processes in line and we often provide free education/training designed to keep your staff up to date.
