Understanding Revenue Cycle Management in Healthcare

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is the backbone of a successful healthcare practice. It involves the financial process of managing patient service revenue from appointment scheduling to final payment collection.

Key Stages of Revenue Cycle Management

1. Patient Registration – Collecting and verifying patient information before providing services.
2. Insurance Verification – Confirming patient eligibility and insurance coverage to avoid claim denials.
3. Charge Capture & Coding – Accurately documenting medical procedures using standardized codes.
4. Claims Submission – Sending claims to insurance companies for reimbursement.
5. Payment Posting & Denial Management – Processing payments and resolving denied claims efficiently.
6. Patient Billing & Collections – Issuing invoices and ensuring timely payment collection.
