McKesson Corporation (US), Epic Systems Corporation (US), Cerner Corporation (US), Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (US), and Experian plc. (Ireland) are the Leading Players in the Patient Access Solutions Market

The global patient access solutions market is projected to reach USD 1.74 Billion by 2022 from USD 1.21 Billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 7.6%. Rise in healthcare claims denials, growing importance of denial management, and need to curtail escalating healthcare costs are the major factors driving the growth of the patient access solutions market. In addition, the transition of the healthcare insurance industry toward high co-pay health plans is expected to make the front-end revenue cycle very complex in nature which in turn is expected to boost the adoption of patient access solutions among healthcare providers. However, the increase in patient data breaches & loss of confidentiality of patient data, high deployment costs of these solutions, and lack of standard IT infrastructure in many developing countries are hindering the greater adoption of these solutions among healthcare providers.

The global patient access solutions market is fragmented in nature with many local, regional, and global players. However, on the global scenario, the market is led by few big market players such as McKesson (US), Epic Systems (US), Cerner (US), Cognizant (US), and Experian (Ireland). The companies are mainly focusing on alliances, partnerships, collaborations, and agreements.
