Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management is a key financial process that helps healthcare organizations to manage their administrative and clinical functions. The process used encompasses the identification, management, and collection of patient service revenue.

If a healthcare organization or hospital is not using this process, it might get tricky to treat their patients correctly since they’re using their full attention on them. Healthcare revenue cycle management is the strategy that healthcare organizations use to pay the bills.

How can RCM help the Healthcare industry?

When a patient schedules an appointment, the physician’s office or the hospital staff typically checks the patient’s reported insurance coverage before the visit.

After an insured patient receives treatment for a given condition and supplies any applicable copayment, a healthcare provider or coder categorizes the nature of the treatment according to ICD-10 codes. The hospital or care facility then sends the care summary with ICD and Current Procedural Technology codes to the patient’s insurance company to see what portion of the care will be covered by insurance, with the patient billed for the remainder.
