The U.S. revenue cycle management for oncology and urology market size was valued at USD 7.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7% from 2023 to 2030. Growing instances of RCM outsourcing by healthcare facilities, technological advancements, and growing awareness about software among healthcare professionals are expected to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) includes a combination of third-party payers, payment models, guidelines, and codes. The market is estimated to witness considerable growth during the forecast period owing to efforts to increase the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) by healthcare delivery networks are projected to drive the RCM market. Moreover, reducing healthcare expenditure, emphasis on providing value-based care & technological advancements, and outsourcing health information technology services are the major factors boosting overall growth. Stage three of Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs focus on improving the use of Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT) to enhance health outcomes. This is likely to drive the demand for RCM systems, which can be integrated with EHR systems to streamline workflow and curb rising healthcare costs.
Moreover, the market is also anticipated to witness considerable growth due to the increasing adoption of mHealth applications which help patients to track their health condition with the help of mobile technology such as wearables and health-tracking applications. The rising penetration of the internet and smartphones in the region is attributed to positively contribute to the growth of the market. For instance, 90% of physicians in the U.S. use smartphones to access patient electronic medical records and communicate with patients at work. Furthermore, most of the applications are free to use and provide benefits such as enhanced accessibility, cost reduction & communication services between remote patients and healthcare providers.
Despite several advantages, the adoption of these solutions is expected to be restrained by the shortage of skilled professionals with technical knowledge. Health Information Technology (HIT) systems deployed at healthcare facilities that are required for managing the complex functions of the software required skilled professionals and hence, the lack of professionals hampers the market growth. However, the growing adoption of technologically advanced solutions for streamlining revenue management is anticipated to reduce the hurdles and aid in the market growth over the forecast period. As per a Black Book survey, over one-third of the hospitals based in the U.S. are focusing on incorporating integrated digital health solutions comprising EHR, RCM, and practice management solutions. The survey further stated that 40% of the large-sized hospitals are devising strategies to either incorporate or replace existing platforms with integrated technologies by 2020-2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the growth of the market. Due to the sudden spike in patient volume, there was a considerable increase in healthcare expenses and medical billing complications, which directly contributed to an upsurge in the demand for outsourced RCM solutions across the U.S. Some of the challenges faced by key healthcare RCM vendors were new billing guidelines & codes laid down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and revised ICD-10 Codes, with several other CPT & HCPCS Codes specific to COVID-19 testing being revised. The increasing demand for RCM services and systems drove market players to integrate value-added features, such as remote payer connect, coding services, audit, reporting, and analytics, to meet the growing demand.
The in-house segment held the largest share of 72.9% in 2022. The increasing use of in-house RCM solutions to manage the financials of healthcare facilities contributed to market growth. The in-house solutions offer advantages such as flexibility over functioning, direct control of the platform, and high return on investments which increased the adoption of the in-house RCM solutions. Furthermore, the availability of players providing the solutions such as Flatiron, Connect LLC; Gentem Health, Inc., and BillingParadise has increased the demand for the solutions.
The outsourced RCM services segment is anticipated to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period due to the increased number of healthcare facilities outsourcing RCM services to the market players due to the reduced costs and higher efficiency. Moreover, the incorporation of the ICD-10 coding structure, the shortage of healthcare staff, and the growing expansion of outpatient services boosted the demand for outsourced RCM services. Furthermore, outsourcing RCM lowers staff responsibility and improves collection level & pace by decreasing denials, thereby aiding the segment growth.
The hospitals segment accounted for the largest share of 58.6% in 2022. The RCM solutions help healthcare facilities to manage clinical and administrative functions associated with payment, claims processing, and revenue generation which is expected to contribute to the growth of the segment. Moreover, increasing collaborations of the hospitals with RCM providers in order to implement innovative solutions for effective management of reimbursements and related claims is expected to boost the adoption of RCM solutions in the facilities.
The physicians and clinical services segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of RCM solutions by private physicians in order to manage the medical and financial results. Moreover, the incorporation of RCM helps to reduce operational costs, manage reimbursements and boost patient and provider revenue which is expected to drive the adoption by physicians.
The key players in the market have been involved in mergers and acquisitions to increase their share in the market and provide innovative solutions to the end-users which is anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period. In June 2022, R1RCM, Inc. acquired Cloudmed, wherein both companies would focus on developing and delivering innovative revenue cycle management platforms for healthcare providers to boost digital transformation in the form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) & automation across the healthcare industry.
