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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Reduce Turnover and Training Costs With the Right Healthcare Talent
Staff turnover is one of the most costly challenges in healthcare, and burnout plays a major role. Research published through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that burnout significantly increases the likelihood that nurses will leave their organizations. Much of this burnout stems from workload overload, especially when nurses spend too much time on administrative tasks. By shifting documentation, scheduling, and other non-clinical work to qualified remote nurses, healthcare organizations can […]
Offload Admin Work With Remote Healthcare Staff
If you work in healthcare today, you already know this truth: the work that matters most is not always the work that takes up most of your day. Patient care, clinical decisions, and meaningful interactions are often squeezed between paperwork, phone calls, insurance follow-ups, scheduling issues, and system updates. According to research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, […]
How Remote A/R Specialists Recover Revenue Faster
For many healthcare providers, revenue doesn’t disappear all at once. It leaks out slowly through unpaid claims, delayed follow-ups, and denials. Research from Umbrex shows that around 15% of healthcare claims are denied on first submission, a sharp increase from previous years, creating costly delays and rework for in-house teams. You can deliver excellent patient […]
