In 2024, financial pressures on providers are intensifying. A surge in claim denials—caused by patient access inaccuracies, coding errors, policy changes, and payer misalignment—has led to longer reimbursement times for 67% of healthcare providers. Coupled with a shortage in the RCM workforce in an already complex administrative environment, it's clear there are significant hurdles to overcome.
The 2025 RCM Summit brings together senior RCM executives from leading U.S. healthcare providers, payers and vendors to address these challenges and explore innovative strategies for maximizing revenue cycle performance. By focusing on accelerating reimbursements, safeguarding patient data, and fostering collaboration between all stakeholders, we'll future-proof revenue cycles for sustained success.
