Sure.

Thank you, Tim.

Thank you, Lucas.

Yeah, as Tim stated, my name is Amanda Whitener, Senior Director of Client Development here at Nimble.

Been in the RCM space and the healthcare space over a decade now, most of that time being spent with Nimble.

I love this industry.

ASC is ever changing and working for a group that

stays apprised of those changes and disseminates it to the industry accordingly is always just very exciting and very rewarding.

I'm very blessed to be here with this group and looking forward to having this conversation today.

Yeah, and so that's a great question.

And Tim, that was a great outline.

I would say two key avenues to accelerate cashflow are developing strategies for managed care contracting and coding integrity.

Those are two topics we speak on quite a bit.

With regards to contracts,

This is something we at Nimble place a huge emphasis on.

We actually want our clients to be very knowledgeable with regards to their contracts.

We engage with many ASCs nationwide, and I would say a common denominator is they, well, in fact, around 95 plus percent don't have complete copies of their contracts when we initially engage them.

which immediately tells me a few things.

One, their contracts are likely out of date.

So that to me means less than par fee schedules, which is a huge opportunity for improvement of cash by way of payer negotiations.
