RCM trend report: How leaders can protect revenue + adapt to disruption


Thursday, February 19th, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

As 2026 approaches, practices face growing pressure on all sides — from tighter reimbursements and unpredictable payer behavior to increasing patient affordability challenges and rapid shifts in technology.

This webinar will break down key findings from a 2026 revenue cycle management trend report — featured in Becker's Hospital Review — highlighting the most pressing threats and where forward-looking practices are finding opportunity.

You'll learn how to:
 
  • Navigate top-of-mind pressures, including tighter margins, provider recruitment challenges and why scale matters more than ever
  • Use benchmarking data and the independent dispute resolution (IDR) process to challenge underpayments and strengthen payer negotiations
  • Treat AI and automation as strategic investments — to reduce denials, speed claims, improve cash flow and stay ahead of payer-driven disruption
