Why AI Alone Won’t Fix Denials, Backlogs, or AR Delays
Healthcare organizations everywhere are under pressure, and many are turning to healthcare AI for relief. Claims are piling up, denials keep returning, and accounts receivable continue to stretch. As a result, 59% of healthcare organizations report near-term plans to invest in denial reduction technology, reflecting the urgency to address rising denials and revenue delays, according to Experian Health’s The State […]
AI Is Speeding Up RCM, But Only for Teams Built to Use It
Revenue cycle management (RCM) has always been one of the most challenging parts of running a healthcare organization. It’s detailed, repetitive, and deeply tied to both patient care and financial stability. Today, artificial intelligence is changing how RCM works, but not always in the way teams expect. In fact, an AKASA and HFMA Pulse Survey found that about 46% of […]
How Rural Hospitals Are Stabilizing RCM Without Local Hiring
Rural hospitals are the backbone of their communities. They deliver essential care, often with limited staff, smaller budgets, and fewer nearby resources. Yet financial pressure continues to mount. An analysis by Chartis found that 46% of rural hospitals are operating with negative margins, making it increasingly difficult for facilities to keep their revenue cycle stable without the ability to […]
5 RCM Warning Signs We See in Rural Hospitals Every Week
Rural hospitals are the backbone of healthcare in many American communities, serving entire counties with limited resources and lean teams. Yet behind the scenes, many struggle with revenue cycle management (RCM) challenges and billing errors in healthcare that directly affect financial stability. The pressure is real. The Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform reports […]
The Challenge of RCM for Rural Hospitals
Rural hospitals play a critical role in the US healthcare system and are often the only source of care for entire communities, from emergency services to chronic disease management. Yet many rural hospitals are struggling financially. According to the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform (CHQPR), more than 700 rural hospitals, about one-third nationwide, are […]
Protecting Revenue with Remote, Audit-Ready Coding Teams
Revenue loss in healthcare often starts quietly. A missed code, an unclear note, or a delayed claim can slowly chip away at cash flow without anyone noticing until the impact is already there. What seems like a small issue on the surface can turn into denied claims, payment delays, or audit concerns that take weeks or months […]
High RCM Costs? Go Remote
Healthcare providers today are under immense pressure. Patient volumes are rising, reimbursements feel tighter, and expectations for accuracy and speed keep increasing. In the middle of all this, one challenge continues to grow quietly but consistently: RCM costs. Revenue cycle management touches every part of a healthcare organization, from patient intake and insurance verification to billing, coding, […]
Cut Coding Risk with Skilled Remote Medical Coders
Medical coding errors don’t usually happen because people don’t care. They happen because teams are stretched thin, rules change constantly, and documentation demands keep growing. But even small coding mistakes can lead to denied claims, delayed payments, compliance risks, and frustrated staff. For healthcare providers, coding risk isn’t just a back-office issue. It affects revenue, audit exposure, and the overall stability of […]
Turning AI Tools into Results with the Right RCM Support
Artificial intelligence is everywhere in healthcare right now. From automated coding tools to denial prediction software and patient payment platforms, AI promises faster workflows, fewer errors, and stronger financial performance. Yet many healthcare providers are asking the same question: If AI is so powerful, why aren’t we seeing the results we expected? The answer is simpler than it sounds. […]
Faster Claims Start With Better Remote Medical Coders
Few things frustrate healthcare providers more than slow claims. Payments drag on. Follow-ups pile up. Revenue becomes unpredictable. And while the problem often shows up at the end of the process, the cause usually starts much earlier. Claims do not slow down randomly. They slow down when coding is inconsistent, rushed, or understaffed. Industry data from Experian shows that coding and documentation mistakes […]
