Rural hospitals feel financial pressure differently. With less room for error and fewer resources to draw on, they still have so much at stake. Most rural hospitals anchor not just one community, but several.
What these hospitals need from an RCM partner isn’t anything out of the ordinary—it’s commitment, communication, and meaningful results.
Unfortunately, that was exactly what was missing for a rural hospital in the western U.S. in early 2024.
The hospital was facing a backlog of aging AR, growing patient balances, and long stretches of silence from its RCM vendor, who mainly focused on splashy, high-dollar claims instead of building a foundation for long-term success.
It was a frustrating experience for hospital leadership, who felt the weight of the community on their shoulders and knew they needed a new partner who would treat their challenges with the urgency and respect they deserved. Within a month, they began working with Meduit.
The relationship was hands-on from the start, highlighted by weekly check-ins and active collaboration that made charting a path forward easier. By outsourcing key business office functions to Meduit, the hospital was able to reverse its financial course and begin to see the benefits of a more stable revenue cycle.
This was the power of a real partnership.
It wasn’t anything flashy — just consistent effort, clear communication, and a Meduit team that followed through on its promises.
And in less than a year: revenue cycle transformation that delivered a $10.5M lift to EBITDA, a 7.6% increase in net patient revenue, and a 30% reduction in AR days.
