(PharmaNewsWire.Com, December 11, 2020 ) Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) in healthcare industry has fast become a buzzword over the past few years. It enables the healthcare organizations to manage payments, claims processing, and revenue generation, thereby accelerating the whole revenue cycle in an efficient manner. RCM solution begins when a patient enters or schedules an appointment. It automates the whole procedure with initiation of the process by the patient, quick follow ups, determining the eligibility of the patient, collecting their payment, effective tracking of the claims process, and working on rejected claims among others. The rising need for streamlining the whole process has further boosted the demand for RCM solutions, thereby triggering the growth of the RCM market.
