Healthcare

How do Dedicated Teams and Managed Operations differ in healthcare?

Dedicated Teams add healthcare professionals who work in the client’s systems under the client’s daily direction. Managed Operations transfer an agreed workflow to CF, including staffing, supervision, quality assurance, reporting, escalation, and operating accountability.

What is the difference between medical and medication prior authorization support?

Medical prior authorization supports services such as procedures, therapy, imaging, and DME. Medication prior authorization supports formulary review, documentation collection, submission, payer follow-up, renewals, and provider-approved appeal coordination.

How does CF handle PHI and BAAs?

Healthcare scopes define approved channels, role-based access, handling procedures, escalation, and client-system requirements. CF executes Business Associate Agreements when required by the parties, data access, and agreed scope.

Who owns a managed revenue cycle engagement?

CF Revenue Cycle Solutions owns agreed managed RCM execution, supervision, quality assurance, reporting, escalation, and service accountability. A dedicated billing professional remains client-directed when the client chooses Dedicated Teams.

Who owns credentialing and provider readiness?

CF Credentialing Solutions manages agreed credentialing, payer enrollment, licensing, privileging, and provider-readiness workflows. A dedicated credentialing coordinator remains under the client’s daily direction.

Which care-management programs can CF support?

CF Care Connect supports agreed CCM, RPM, RTM, PCM, APCM, BHI, and CoCM programs with dedicated care teams, structured workflows, patient engagement, documentation support, human oversight, and reporting.

Delivery Models, Ownership, and Pricing

What is the difference between Dedicated Teams and Managed Operations?

With Dedicated Teams, professionals work in your systems and follow your day-to-day direction. With Managed Operations, CF owns the agreed workflow, staffing, supervision, quality assurance, reporting, technology support, and accountability.

What does CF manage for a dedicated employee?

CF manages recruitment, candidate screening, employment, payroll and benefits, HR support, Philippines infrastructure, employee engagement and retention, supervisor support, performance visibility, training, and career development.

What does the client manage?

The client directs daily priorities, task assignments, systems and tools, workflows, performance expectations, and direct feedback for dedicated employees.

Can an engagement combine Dedicated Teams and Managed Operations?

Yes. Hybrid Models can combine dedicated professionals with CF-managed workflows, supervision, quality assurance, reporting, technology support, or Specialized Healthcare Solutions.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is customized based on the role or function, required expertise, staffing level, workflow scope, volume, operating coverage, systems, reporting, service levels, and accountability model.

Is there a minimum engagement commitment?

Minimum staffing, schedule, and term requirements depend on the role, delivery model, recruiting investment, and operating coverage. CF confirms any minimum commitment in the written proposal before the client proceeds.

Can CF support part-time roles?

Part-time requirements are reviewed case by case because role continuity, candidate availability, schedule coverage, and supervision needs vary. CF confirms feasibility during scoping rather than promising a part-time structure before the role is defined.

Recruiting, Onboarding, and Locations

How long does recruiting typically take?

Timing varies by role complexity, experience requirements, schedule, candidate availability, assessment needs, and the client interview process. CF confirms an expected recruiting plan after the role and selection process are defined.

Can clients interview candidates?

Yes. Client interviews are part of the Dedicated Teams process so the client can assess experience, communication, and fit before selection.

Where are CF employees located?

CF combines Las Vegas-based client leadership with Philippines delivery operations in Eastwood City, Quezon City, Metro Manila.

Can CF support U.S. business hours?

Yes. Schedules and coverage can be aligned to U.S. business hours based on the role, workflow, staffing plan, and agreed operating requirements.

How are employees trained and supervised?

CF supports role-based onboarding, HR, employee development, supervisor infrastructure, and performance visibility. In a dedicated model, the client directs the daily work and provides workflow-specific guidance. In a managed model, CF also owns day-to-day supervision and quality assurance for the agreed function.

What happens if a dedicated employee needs to be replaced?

CF reviews the situation with the client, addresses immediate continuity and access needs, and agrees on a replacement or transition plan. Timing depends on the role, notice circumstances, required experience, and the client interview process.

Technology and AI

Can CF work in the client's existing systems?

Yes. Dedicated teams typically work in the client’s approved systems, tools, communication channels, and workflows, with access aligned to role and engagement requirements.

How does CF use AI?

CF uses AI and automation to support research, production assistance, workflow efficiency, quality review, reporting, and visibility where appropriate. People remain accountable for judgment, approvals, escalation, and outcomes.
