HGS Healthcare Gains Momentum in Revenue Cycle Management as Providers Look Beyond Pandemic and Focus on Financial Recovery
Company to present on strategies to overturn clinical denials at HFMA Annual Conference
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HGS Healthcare announced today its momentum in the revenue cycle management (RCM) space as health systems look to strengthen the balance sheet and recover financially from the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the combination of mounting inflation, labor shortages and global supply chain disruptions could continue to pose challenges to financial stability. Providers doubling down on RCM strategies such as clinical denials recovery are positioned to regain financial stability.
“From talent gaps to surging patient volumes that require the delay of elective surgeries, no matter what providers are facing, we support their financial health so they can focus on what they do best: patient care,” said Titus Leo, SVP and head of Healthcare Provider Practice, HGS Healthcare.
