Change has always been a constant in healthcare RCM. However, as 2026 approaches, the pace and complexity of this change have shifted into a noticeably higher gear.
Between the expanding role of AI, the effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), and ongoing staffing pressures, hospitals and health systems are being tested in new ways.
This edition of Cycle Up, Meduit’s award-winning RCM magazine, explores how preparation, resilience, and adaptability can turn uncertainty about the future into opportunity.
Inside this issue:
• How to prepare your revenue cycle for the impact of the OBBB
• A look at how the next wave of AI is reshaping the future of RCM
• Revenue cycle “resolutions” to make (and keep) for 2026
There’s no stopping change in healthcare RCM, but preparation and resilience are what anchor organizations when the pressure mounts. We hope this issue of Cycle Up provides practical steps, useful insights, and a sense of confidence heading into a new year and set of challenges.
