Healthcare Claims Management Market Growth & Trends
The global healthcare claims management market size is expected to reach USD 136.67 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 23.4% from 2022 to 2030. The rising complexity of claims administration and the medical billing process is one of the most immediate concerns confronting health insurance companies and other private payers. The capacity to digitize every stage of the claims process, implying process improvement, from data entry to claims management and billing processing, holds enormous promise for increasing medical billing and claims management efficiency and accuracy. When done correctly, the result may be cheaper expenses and a better customer experience. Thus, improvements to the overall healthcare organization’s process are expected to propel industry growth.
Furthermore, the growing importance of denial management is expected to further boost industry growth. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation recent analysis, around 17% of in-network claims were refused across HealthCare.gov issuers in 2019 and approximately 14% were denied in 2018. Specific issuer rates differed greatly from these averages. As a result, financial strategists who are truly focused on the transition from volume to value undervalue it. This is a mistake since dealing with rejections is as important now as it was decades ago.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the overall market. Furthermore, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was designed in developed countries such as the U.S. to provide healthcare resources required to combat COVID-19. The CARES Act incorporated medical billing rules, which increased claim denials and their management. This will further boost the overall market for medical billing and healthcare claims management.
Despite the expected rise in the market, there have been rising concerns in terms of data privacy. For instance, modern technologies such as cloud, mobile, and next-generation databases are increasingly being used to manage, store, and retrieve such claims data as technology advances. These elements have conspired to form healthcare data security an ongoing concern for the overall healthcare industry. To guarantee that patients have the data protection they need and deserve, rules and regulations governing healthcare data are always evolving.
Due to the clear nascent nature of technology innovation in the medical billing and claims processing market, the share is widely distributed across various competitors. This is bolstered by the fact that a large number of businesses have joined the market due to the minimum capital requirements for establishing and maintaining technological infrastructure. However, there has been a reduced risk of entry to some extent due to the complexity in the healthcare medical billing and claims processing market dynamics.
Larger, established players and well-known players have a credibility advantage, which reduces the threat of entry from smaller, less established players with minimal IT experience in healthcare. However, due to the expanding number of advanced solution providers, such as CareCloud, Inc., and AdvancedMD, who are increasingly focusing on lowering claim denial rates and improving the medical billing rates, the industry is set to experience a higher new entrant rate.
