Back-end Revenue Cycle Management Market

Back-end Revenue Cycle Management Market by Product and Services (Claim Processing, Denial Management, Payment Integrity), Delivery Mode (On-Premise, Cloud Based), End-User (Payer, Provider (Inpatient, Outpatient)), and Region - Global Forecasts to 2023

Report Code: HIT 6861 Jan, 2019, by marketsandmarkets.com

The back-end revenue cycle management market is projected to reach USD 10.4 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.0%. Factors such as the growing importance of denials management, increasing patient volume, process improvements in healthcare organizations, and declining reimbursement rates are driving the growth of the market. However, the high cost of deployment, integration of back-end revenue cycle management solutions, data breaches and loss of confidentiality, and lack of skilled IT professionals in healthcare are expected to limit market growth to a certain extent in the coming years.

Back-End Revenue Cycle Management Market

Back-end Revenue Cycle Management Market Dynamics

Growing importance of denials management

To reduce costs and maximize profits, insurance companies are increasingly denying claims as well as coverage to patients being treated for chronic or persistent illnesses. This is putting an extra burden on healthcare providers to manage operating costs, and in turn is supporting the adoption of back-end revenue cycle management solutions (with a growing number of healthcare providers focusing on properly analyzing denied claims and appealing them).

Many healthcare providers across the globe still use manual and paper-oriented approaches to manage denials. This results in errors, delayed follow-ups, and miscommunication between healthcare providers and insurance companies. The use of back-end revenue cycle management solutions over manual and paper-oriented approaches can not only help healthcare providers overcome these issues but also help them save significant costs. As a result, the demand for back-end revenue cycle management solutions is expected to increase among end users during the forecast period.

High cost of deployment

Back-end revenue cycle management solutions are fairly high-priced, and the maintenance and software update costs of these tools may be greater than the actual price of the software. Support and maintenance services, which include software upgrades, represent a recurring expenditure amounting to around 30% of the total cost of ownership. Moreover, a lack of internal IT expertise in the healthcare industry necessitates training for end users to maximize the efficiency of back-end revenue cycle management solutions, thereby adding to the cost of ownership.

Hospitals often prefer investing in core technologies directly linked to the quality of care for patients than on investing in technologies for allied departments. Thus, the high cost of deployment and maintenance and the low inclination on spending on non-core technologies is restricting the adoption of back-end revenue cycle management solutions, especially among smaller healthcare organizations. This trend is more evident in emerging markets across Asia and Latin America.

Emerging countries

In Asia and Australasia, the rollout of public healthcare programs, combined with the growing consumer wealth, is expected to boost healthcare spending at an average of 8.1% from 2014 to 2018 (Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit). Government initiatives for the implementation of HCIT solutions and rising government spending on healthcare systems are the major factors favoring the adoption of back-end revenue cycle management solutions in several emerging countries across the Asia Pacific region.

Mentioned below is an indicative list of pointers that showcase the potential of the Asia Pacific back-end revenue cycle management solutions market:

  • The percentage of primary care physicians adopting EMR in Australia (92%) exceeded the adoption rate in the US (84%) (Source: OECD, 2015 International Profiles of Health Care Systems).
  • China’s 13th Five-Year Plan (FYP), initiated in November 2015, focuses on changes in the areas of healthcare services. Government healthcare spending in China increased from 15% in 1999 to 30% in 2013, and out-of-pocket spending dropped from 60% to 34%. Also, in China, IT is being leveraged to revolutionize healthcare, drug development, and distribution. The use of mobile health technologies (mHealth) is also increasing in China to improve connectivity with rural/remote areas. Additionally, the “Big Three” Chinese internet and e-commerce companies (Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent) are also investing in the healthcare industry (Source: China’s Healthcare Sector and US-China Health Cooperation, Council on Foreign Relations).
  • The Indian Government started the Digital India campaign in 2015 to ensure that government services are made available to citizens electronically by improving IT infrastructure and improving internet connectivity. These factors are likely to encourage the adoption of healthcare IT solutions among hospitals in the country.
  • Government initiatives in Japan, such as the e-Japan policy, the New IT Reform Strategy, and the iJapan Strategy 2015, are expected to encourage the adoption of back-end revenue cycle management solutions driven by the enhanced penetration of claim management solutions in hospitals.

Rapid growth in healthcare spending is expected in the Middle East and Africa, with an annual average increase of 8.7% from 2014 to 2018 (Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit, May 2014). Also, healthcare spending in Latin America is projected to increase at an average of 4.6% per annum from 2014 to 2018 (Source: World Health Organization). With the growth in healthcare spending, the healthcare infrastructure (including the HCIT infrastructure) in several countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America is expected to improve in the coming years. This, in turn, is expected to provide significant growth opportunities to players operating in the back-end revenue cycle management market in the coming years.

Integration of back-end revenue cycle management solutions

The information-intensive nature of data in the healthcare industry has highlighted a need for integration at all levels to ensure that data is collated and compiled into a single exhaustive and accurate patient record. This also applies to back-end revenue cycle management solutions due to the need to maintain end-to-end records—from registration and appointment scheduling to final payment. However, integrating a new back-end revenue cycle management solution with a healthcare organization’s legacy information management systems is a difficult task for market players. This is because of the differences in data communication standards, owing to which a number of information systems are unable to exchange data. Issues related to effective integration are thus a major challenge limiting the successful utilization of back-end revenue cycle management solutions.

By product & service, the services segment is expected grow at the highest rate during the forecast period

On the basis of product & service, the market is segmented into software and services. The services segment is estimated to witness the highest CAGR during 2018–2023. The high growth of this segment is primarily due to the recurring nature of services such as training and development, installation, software upgrades, consulting, and maintenance.

By software type, the integrated software segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period

By software, the market is broadly segmented into integrated and standalone software. In 2018, the integrated software segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the ability of integrated solutions to help users to streamline and coordinate multiple financial functions through a single platform.

By end user, healthcare payers are expected to be the largest contributors to the market

By end user, the market is segmented into healthcare payers and healthcare providers. In 2018, the healthcare payers segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. Insurance providers need to comply with various federal and regional laws and regulations. Many of these regulations have privacy and security concerns relating to patient information and strict auditing and reporting requirements. With the help of back-end revenue cycle management solutions, insurance providers adhere to regulatory requirements and reduce unnecessary penalties and punishments. The growing stringency of regulations for payers is thus driving the adoption of back-end revenue cycle management by healthcare payers.

North America is expected to hold a significant share in the back-end revenue cycle management market during the forecast period

Geographically, the North American market is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2018. The large share of North America in the market can be attributed to factors such as growing HCIT investments in the region, the presence of regulatory mandates supporting market growth in the US, and increasing digitalization and favorable funding initiatives by the Canadian government.
