Your revenue cycle called. It wants a do-over.
The revenue cycle trap you’re up against
Running revenue cycle at scale is brutal. Every missed claim or manual task slows cash, rework drives up cost-to-collect, and compliance risk puts margin at stake.
Legacy systems weren’t built for this level of complexity, which is why many health systems are stuck in survival mode.
athenahealth changes that story. Automation, analytics, and scalable infrastructure turn your revenue cycle management (RCM) into a systemwide growth engine.
The proof is in the numbers:
- Top quartile clients see an 87.9%–94.2% first claim success rate within three months.1
- Over 200,000 providers2 trust us to process millions of claims and remits every year.3
- Ambulatory clients in the top quartile maintain AR days between 27.0-36.7 days.4
Smarter hospital revenue cycle management
Imagine RCM software and services that easily slip into your ecosystem, take care of the tedious work, and give you full visibility into every dollar.
athenaIDX™ does exactly that. Here’s how:
Low-touch, high impact
Automation and AI handle routine A/R follow-up — improving clean claims, preventing denials, resolving issues faster, and reducing write-offs to lift net revenue.
Interoperable by design
Integrate easily with your EMR (or switch to athenaOne®). We support third-party system connections without disruption, ensuring scalability across your network.
Built to evolve
Adapt to reimbursement models, onboard acquisitions, and automate workflows like prior authorization and eligibility checks to improve cash flow and cut costs.
It’s no wonder athenaIDX ranked #2 in the 2024 Best in KLAS for Health System Owned Practice Management.5
Why large health systems switch… and stay
“Good enough” RCM isn’t enough for fewer claim denials, faster cash flow, and less admin.
athenahealth delivers it all in one platform. You get a clear view of financial data moving through your organization. Actionable dashboards track payer performance and revenue leakage while accurate coding and clean claims help minimize costly errors.
Whether you’re a small organization, community hospital, or an enterprise, our EHR, patient engagement, revenue cycle and practice management solutions are built to make sure you get paid what you’ve earned.
That’s why health systems work with us to optimize their revenue.
