The company will be the health system’s exclusive revenue cycle management provider for the next 10 years, according to a July 14 R1 RCM news release. Sutter Health and R1 RCM estimate the deal will save the provider $400 million over that span.
As part of the agreement, about 1,150 Sutter revenue cycle employees will be offered comparable positions, pay and benefits with R1 RCM, according to the news release.
