Revenue Cycle Management Market

The global revenue cycle management market is projected to reach USD 132.06 billion by 2031 from USD 73.61 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 12.4% during the forecast period. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), its Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule took effect in January 2026, requiring payers to decide claims-related requests within seven days. In July 2026, Optum Insight disclosed a USD 3 billion program to automate claims processing across UnitedHealth Group. Tightening reimbursement rules and the rising adoption of value-based care are accelerating RCM adoption worldwide.

Key strategies driving the global revenue cycle management (RCM) market include outsourcing and automation-led transformation. In October 2025, R1 RCM acquired Phare Health, a healthcare AI company, to build an agentic platform that routes claims work between AI agents and staff. In July 2026, Optum announced a partnership with Anthropic to deploy AI across claims and revenue workflows. Epic Systems has also expanded its Payer Platform with predictive tools for prior authorization and claim-status checks, helping hospitals and physician groups accelerate reimbursement and reduce denials.
