What is Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management?
Revenue cycle management (RCM) is the process of tracking the financial relationship between a medical patient and the healthcare system. While the cycle has historically started at the point of rendered services, shifts to value-based care have also pushed the beginning of the RCM cycle earlier to the point of appointment scheduling and patient registration.
Proper revenue cycle management will include rendering all medical services into billable charges, proper coding, payment collections, and more, eventually concluding with the review of outstanding accounts receivable and analysis of medical services rendered.
RCM is a key aspect of your practice administration and our primary service.

Revenue Cycle Management Services
For the past several years, HIS has been a specialized revenue cycle management company for both orthopedic and radiology practices. Now we’re expanding our services to medical practices of all kinds. When you sign on for revenue cycle management, some of the primary services you’ll receive support for include:
Claims Submission
Before a claim becomes eligible for payment, it must go through a multi-step procedure. A main factor in determining the speed of the claims process is how quickly you and/or your patients provide the necessary documentation to the insurance company. If you have the tools in place to weed out common errors, most claims should be processed within a few weeks.
Cash Posting
Once a claim has been submitted and reviewed, the payment will be posted and able to be paid by your patient. It is vital for your practice to utilize fee schedules, since they are the basis for how much a physician can make on a procedure. Working with HIS for your revenue cycle management will make this a seamless process for you, the provider, and the patient.
Denials Management/Resolution
Are you keeping track of how many claims get denied for your services? Overlooked claims can cost your practice a significant amount of revenue. HIS can take the burden off of your shoulders by executing denial management and resolving incorrectly filed claims. This may bring light to patterns of inconsistency, which can help you improve workflow.
Appeal Management/Resolution
It is important to ask “Why?” when a claim gets denied. Sometimes a denied claim can be appealed, however it should be submitted to the insurer in a timely manner to avoid missing a filing deadline. HIS will review the insurance company’s rationale for denial and provide a thorough list of reasons why we disagree, backed by supporting evidence. Be sure to follow up after submitting an appeal to determine whether it has made a real impact.
Medical Coding and Billing Support
Coding is a crucial element in the revenue cycle. It starts with a patient encounter in a physician’s office, hospital, or other medical care facility. Then, a provider details the visit or service in the patient’s medical record to explain why certain services, items, or procedures took place. Accuracy in clinical documentation is imperative for coding – especially when a claim arises. HIS offers surgical coding and coding education services to clients, which many other physician management companies do not.
How Much ROI Will You See With HIS?
At HIS, we have three decades of experience working with medical professionals from orthopedic and radiology practices. Our goal is to provide clients with comprehensive revenue cycle management and billing solutions that will make your practice more efficient, increase compliance, and boost profitability.
Our partners see on average an increase of 11.2% in reimbursements.
