What is RCM? Revenue Cycle Management in Healthcare

RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) is the end-to-end financial process in healthcare — from patient registration and insurance eligibility, through coding and claim submission, to payment posting and denial management.

Strong RCM means clean claims the first time, fewer rejections, and faster reimbursement. In Saudi Arabia this runs through NPHIES; in Egypt through Universal Health Insurance; in the UAE through the emirate payers.

SBS implements RCM within HIS/EMR and adds denial-management and analytics so providers collect more, faster. See our RCM solution.
