From an inside look at Cleveland Clinic’s revenue cycle AI literacy program, to IKS Health completing its acquisition of TruBridge, here are 10 revenue cycle updates Becker’s reported in April:
1. Cleveland Clinic System Vice President of Revenue Cycle Management Tracy Peffley discussed the system’s revenue cycle AI literacy program with Becker’s.
2. Revenue cycle management company Waystar named Alpana Wegner as its next CFO.
3. Six revenue cycle leaders shared the best advice they received early in their careers.
4. Community Health Systems is watching its accounts receivable grow as insurers slow down claims payments and pile on more pre-payment scrutiny, CFO Jason Johnson said on the Franklin, Tenn.-based health system’s second-quarter earnings call July 23.
5. Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health is eliminating 31 revenue cycle positions to prevent redundancy, a health system spokesperson confirmed to Becker’s July 22.
6. Three revenue cycle leaders shared their top priorities for the second half of 2026.
7. The American Medical Association’s push to create new billing codes for autonomous AI is drawing concern from nursing leaders, who argue hospitals could soon be reimbursed for clinical work performed by algorithms while registered nurses remain excluded from direct payment mechanisms.
8. Health systems spent years decentralizing revenue cycle operations to give hospitals, physician groups and service lines greater autonomy. Now, many of the country’s largest health systems are moving in the opposite direction.
9. IKS Health completed its $557 million acquisition of TruBridge, which provides revenue cycle management and EHR services for rural and community hospitals.
10. West Des Moines, Iowa-based UnityPoint Health said that it is proceeding to transition certain revenue cycle functions to Omega Healthcare later this year.
