With a good RCM system in place, it should handle the following: collect payments as they are due, charge for patient services, ensure billing is done in a timely fashion and that all claims submissions are accurate.

According to Research and Markets, the industry market for these software solutions is projected to surpass $90 million worldwide by 2022.

Potential Struggles?
Excellent customer service is critical in every industry. With the implementation of new technologies, providers are going to need to be focused on the interactions they have with customers. By developing a healthy relationship, it makes the transition to new processes significantly easier.
