Revenue Cycle Management
Why Top Practices Outsource RCM
Are billing tasks stealing hours from your day? A healthy practice needs strong finances—but administrative work shouldn’t control your schedule.
Managing the revenue cycle efficiently is crucial for the financial health of any healthcare practice. But, for many inpatient providers, handling these tasks in-house can lead to unnecessary strain on resources and team members. Outsourcing Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the practical solution, helping practices simplify operations, improve cash flow, and free up valuable time. Let’s explore how outsourcing your RCM can help you streamline operations and improve your bottom line.
What is Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)?
Revenue cycle management is the backbone of healthcare billing—tracking patient care from check-in to final payment. It’s a complex process involving claims, payments, and everything in between. When done right, RCM reduces errors, speeds up payments, and ensures every dollar earned is collected, allowing doctors to reclaim their time. In fact, according to the Healthcare Financial Management Association, outsourcing RCM can boost collections by up to 15%. This shows just how effective outsourcing can be, helping practices simplify operations and increase revenue.
Why Outsource RCM?
Outsourcing RCM can transform the way your healthcare practice operates. Here are the key reasons providers are making the switch:
Leverage Expert Knowledge and Tools
Outsourcing RCM with partners can bring years of expertise and innovative technology to your practice. Advanced tools like AI-powered charge capture not only boost efficiency but also address common pain points like coding errors and incomplete patient information. At Claimocity, we use AI solutions to help practices submit claims more accurately and efficiently, removing guesswork and minimizing errors.
Save Money
Maintaining an in-house RCM team comes with significant expenses, including salaries, training, and software. Outsourcing eliminates these costs and offers a flexible solution that can grow with your practice. Studies show that outsourcing can reduce billing costs by 30% to 40%. When you outsource, you’ll lower your overhead, improve cash flow, and bypass the ongoing challenges of staffing and training.
Streamline Your Workflow
Billing tasks can eat up a significant amount of staff time. Outsourcing simplifies these processes by automating tasks like claims submission and payment posting. A reliable system will reduce delays and speed up reimbursements, making your workflow smoother and less stressful for your team. With Claimocity’s tools, providers can achieve a 99.6% clean claim rate, meaning fewer delays and faster payments.
Minimize Errors and Denials
Billing and coding errors don’t just hurt your revenue—they create unnecessary stress for your entire practice. While 86% of claim denials are avoidable, according to Becker’s Hospital Review, most practices lack the tools to prevent them. Outsourcing these tasks reduces these mistakes by leveraging skilled professionals and automated systems like Claimocity’s AI Charge Capture, which identifies and addresses potential issues before they become claims are submitted—ensuring smoother operations and maximum reimbursement.
Simplify Compliance
Staying compliant with healthcare regulations can be overwhelming, especially with the constantly evolving coding regulations. These changes make it challenging for in-house staff to stay updated, leading to potential errors and compliance risks. Outsourcing RCM allows practices to tap into specialized expertise that stays ahead of industry updates, reducing the risk of penalties and ensuring operations run smoothly.
Speed Up Payments
Getting paid on time keeps your practice running smoothly. The right RCM process focuses on speeding up payments by identifying bottlenecks. Outsourcing will allow you to delegate time-consuming tasks like claims processing, following up on overdue balances, and resolving billing issues. Your outsourcing experts can take care of the details so you can enjoy consistent, predictable payments without the headaches.
