The outsourcing of RCM by U.S. players is growing due to its increasing popularity. The market is expected to grow significantly due to the complexity and labor-intensive nature of RCM processes, the scarcity of skilled healthcare professionals, the need for cost-effective solutions, and the challenges posed by stringent regulations, financial pressures, staff shortages in the healthcare industry. As a result, healthcare providers are increasingly opting to outsource RCM tasks to specialized companies to streamline processes, reduce costs, improve accuracy, focus on patient care over administrative tasks. This trend is expected to continue as providers seek efficient cash flow, cost savings, and enhanced value-based care delivery.

Moreover, market players are strengthening revenue cycle platforms by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), electronic health records systems, and data analytics, which contributes to reducing administrative burdens, streamlining workflows, improving revenue capture. For instance, in September 2022, AGS Health, an RCM solutions provider, launched the AGS AI Platform. This solution blends AI and automation with human-in-the-loop services and experts to maximize revenue cycle performance. This platform can enhance visibility into the day-to-day performance and operations of the revenue cycle, including productivity reports, root cause analysis, intelligent worklists, executive reporting, customizable dashboards. The growing adoption of telemedicine and homecare offering value-based care is expected to support market growth.
