Medical billing outsourcing is the process of outsourcing billing and finance-related functions. In this system, a hospital or healthcare organization utilizes a third-party software application to process bills and files, obtain accurate payments for the services rendered and follow up on medical insurance claims. Healthcare organizations can improve operational efficiencies, minimize administrative workload, and boost revenue generation by streamlining complex processes.

Before Covid-19, there was a significant rise in the outsourcing of clinical billing services by healthcare organizations and doctors due to several factors, including – a federal mandate to implement Electronic Medical Records (EMR), obligatory implementation of complex ICD-11 coding systems, and increasing healthcare costs.

But after the pandemic outbreak, the market was negatively affected due to the enormous burden on the healthcare providers. The recovery from the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic will require patient-centric collections to rise above the challenges of COVID-19 and the creation of new policies/strategies powered by telemedicine solutions.

A very effective measure to cut unnecessary costs, prevent the burden of managing an administrative team, and effectively handle in-house billing functions is outsourcing revenue management.

Some factors that will drive the medical billing outsourcing market’s growth include the need to minimize in-house processing costs and reduce errors. The consolidation of large healthcare practices in a bid to reduce costs will also fuel the market growth.
