RCM companies wiring automation into prior auth, claims scrubbing, denials, and patient collections, then asking a simple question: did cash come in faster with fewer touches?

This market isn’t about swapping out one billing system for another. It’s about unlocking operating leverage—more cash, faster, at a lower cost to collect—by combining intelligent automation, trustworthy analytics, and competent delivery. Vendors that pair real software with real services will set the pace. Integrated platforms that reduce the number of handoffs—CureMD among them in ambulatory—are well placed to ride the next wave. At the end of the day, the test is simple: did your revenue cycle get leaner, smarter, and more patient-friendly? If not, keep looking.
