What is Revenue Cycle in Healthcare?

The practice of healthcare concerns itself with achieving the best outcomes for patients. How healthcare companies deliver care and get reimbursed for services provided often depends upon well-honed processes. To be successful, the business side of providers’ systems must be operationally solid to ensure that billing and claims management deliver the capital needed. That means an unwavering focus on the revenue cycle, from start to finish, along the patient-care continuum.
