    Author: Pellar JR, MacFarlane WA.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1991 Apr; 45(4):60, 62, 64 passim. PubMed ID: 10145417.
    Abstract:
    As hospitals begin to see their accounts receivable as a sleeping giant, the role of patient accounts managers may increase in importance. A 1991 survey of patient accounts managers reveals a 25 percent average salary increase over the 1988 figure. The responsibilities of patient accounts managers have remained much the same, with increased emphasis on the basics: receivables management, billing, and collection. A majority of patient accounts managers aspire to higher positions within healthcare finance and management. Most aspirants are well qualified in terms of education but may require professional certification before advancing.
