With net revenues of $5.5 billion and more than 30,000 employees, BJC serves patients and their families in urban, suburban and rural communities through its 15 hospitals and multiple community health locations.

That includes $410.6 million in charity care and other financial assistance to patients to ensure medical care regardless of their ability to pay. In addition, BJC provides additional community benefits through commitments to research, emergency preparedness, regional health care safety net services, health literacy, community outreach and community health programs and regional economic development.

BJC’s patients have access to the latest advances in medical science and technology through a formal affiliation between Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital with the renowned Washington University School of Medicine, which consistently ranks among the top medical schools in the country.

Revenue Cycle Management at BJC HealthCare starts from the time a patient makes an appointment and continues until his or her account is paid. It includes the scheduling, insurance authorization and registration of patients, and ends with coding claims for insurance and finally billing and collecting payments. It bridges the gap between the clinical and business sides of health care and provides patients and families with a seamless and easy process when moving through the health care system.
