Revenue cycle management (RCM) is the process healthcare organizations use to track patient care episodes from appointment scheduling through final payment. It includes front-end processes like insurance verification and coding, as well as back-end functions such as claims submission, payment posting, denial management, and patient collections.
Revenue Cycle Blog is built for healthcare professionals involved in billing, coding, and financial operations — including independent medical practices, group practices, hospital revenue cycle leaders, and medical billing company owners looking to improve performance, compliance, and cash flow.
We publish in-depth, practical content on all aspects of healthcare RCM, including medical billing, coding updates, payer policies, credentialing, prior authorization, denial management, compliance, automation, and best practices for optimizing revenue and reducing administrative burden.
Efficient RCM helps practices get paid faster, reduce claim denials, improve cash flow, and lower operational costs. Even small improvements — such as cleaner claims or faster eligibility verification — can significantly increase net collections and financial stability.
No. While hospital and enterprise RCM leaders will find value here, much of our content is specifically tailored for small to mid-sized practices and independent billing companies that need scalable, practical strategies without enterprise-level budgets.
Our primary goal is education. Revenue Cycle Blog focuses on clear, unbiased insights to help readers understand and improve their revenue cycle. When relevant, we may reference trusted industry solutions or partners, but education always comes first.
