The healthcare industry is undergoing rapid evolution, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), telehealth, and value-based care. Amid these changes, medical billing remains a critical yet complex component of revenue cycle management (RCM). Many healthcare providers struggle with denials, coding errors, and inefficient workflows, resulting in revenue leakage and increased administrative burdens.
Outsourced medical billing has emerged as a powerful solution, especially when enhanced by AI-driven automation and telehealth integrations. Here’s how partnering with a specialised billing service, such as XyberMed, can optimise your revenue cycle in today’s digital healthcare landscape.
