Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the financial backbone of healthcare practices. Efficient RCM ensures providers are paid accurately and on time for services delivered.
What is Revenue Cycle Management?
RCM covers the entire financial lifecycle of patient care, including:
- Patient registration
- Insurance verification
- Coding and billing
- Claim submission
- Payment posting
- Accounts receivable follow-up
Why RCM Matters
Poor revenue cycle processes lead to:
- Increased claim denials
- Revenue delays
- Billing errors
- Administrative overload
Efficient RCM ensures consistent revenue flow and operational stability.
