The average margin was 3.96% for February before the Change Healthcare data breach, which has impacted claims processing. The report authors noted gross revenues are rising faster than net revenue, driven by payer mix changes. Bad debt is also up, the report found.
The authors also highlighted a shift in revenue source.
“Revenue growth is primarily being driven from the outpatient setting. There continues to be a decline in inpatient revenue and increase in outpatient revenue,” the report authors wrote.
