In the dynamic environment of healthcare today, most healthcare providers are walking a tightrope between maximizing revenue and reducing administrative burdens. Every minute won from this complex game of billing processes is another minute taken away from time that could have been used in dispensing quality patient care. This is where RCM comes in—an end-to-end process powering patient registration and insurance verification all the way to medical coding, billing, claim processing, and collection.
The whole process of in-house Revenue Cycle Management can be time-consuming and tricky. This requires a well-trained team of medical coders, billers, and people with excellent knowledge about insurance companies. For most healthcare providers, especially smaller practices, building and maintaining such an in-house team can be cost-prohibitive and resource-intensive. In addition, the constantly changing landscape of healthcare further complicates it with evolving regulations and coding changes.
This is where outsourced RCM is going to be such a strong solution. By partnering with a dedicated RCM provider, healthcare organizations can open themselves up to a great many benefits, everything from radical improvements in their respective financial health and operational efficiency.

Cost: Generating a qualified RCM team entails huge investment in salaries, benefits, training, and technology.
Expertise Required: The RCM specialists are expected to have extensive knowledge of medical coding and billing regulations. Not to mention the insurance payer guidelines that are constantly being updated. It becomes challenging for in-house staff to keep up with the additions.
Technology Required: Active RCM requires strong software and automation tools for its working. Such technology is expensive for smaller practices to invest in and maintain.
Productivity: With increasing pressure, it is possible that the in-house RCM team may not be able to handle the patients' volume and may miss deadlines. This delay may result in the processing of claims and loss of revenue.
