Small-to-medium sized hospital system in the southern US. Operating at a loss — like the majority of hospitals in their size category. Revenue cycle was bleeding money: charge capture gaps, coding errors, denied claims sitting unworked, and an EMR system that created more administrative burden than clinical value.
An operational assessment revealed they were leaving $4M+ annually on the table — charge capture leakage alone accounted for $1.6M. Their existing RCM vendor had been providing reports for three years but operating margins hadn't moved. The CEO realized they were paying for analysis of a problem without anyone actually fixing it.
They needed engineering, not consulting. They needed a platform that would identify revenue leakage in real time and give their team the tools to close the gaps — not a quarterly report that documented losses after the fact.
Cloud-based RCM intelligence platform. Real-time charge capture monitoring that flags missed charges at the point of service — not after the billing cycle. Automated claims scrubbing with payer-specific rule engines. Denial management workflow with automated appeal generation for common denial patterns. EMR integration layer pulling clinical documentation directly into the coding workflow. Analytics dashboard showing real-time revenue cycle performance by department, payer, and service line.
Operating margin improvement exceeding 5% of net revenues within the first year. Charge capture leakage reduced by 78%. Clean claims rate improved from 82% to 96%. Denial rate dropped from 12% to 4.3%. The hospital went from losing money on operations to sustainable profitability — without cutting clinical staff or reducing services.
