According to a study from CWH Advisors conducted November 2022 through December 2022, 61% of healthcare providers expect to outsource their revenue cycle management (RCM) to external parties.
Let’s explore the array of advantages associated with outsourcing RCM services and how partnering with industry leaders like CBE Companies can enhance operational efficiency and boost financial outcomes:
