8 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Revenue Management Solutions

It usually starts small—a few more claim denials than usual, a delay in patient payments, or that nagging sense your RCM team is buried under work. But if you’re seeing these signs consistently, they’re symptoms of something much bigger: outdated or underperforming revenue management solutions.

Healthcare leaders can’t afford to ignore these red flags. Revenue cycle inefficiencies aren’t just annoying—they cost providers millions, hurt margins, and ultimately delay patient care. At Jorie AI, we’ve seen these breakdowns firsthand and built our automation platform to solve them.

‍

Let’s dig into the 8 major signs your system is no longer serving you—and what Jorie AI is doing to change that for providers nationwide.

‍

1. Your denial rate keeps climbing

Even a small uptick in denials can create ripple effects throughout your organization. One rural hospital partnered with Jorie AI and reduced its authorization denial rate to just 0.21%, drastically improving its revenue retention margin. Another gastroenterology group brought their eligibility denial rate down to 0.3% by automating front-end eligibility checks. High denial rates aren’t just frustrating—they’re fixable.

‍

2. Your clean claim rate is below industry benchmarks

Industry average clean claim rates hover around 75-85%, but best-in-class organizations push that above 95%. One orthopedic group using Jorie AI’s solutions achieved a 98% clean claim rate, boosting their claim success margin and reducing rework. If you're seeing avoidable rejections, your revenue management software likely isn't doing enough.

3. Payment delays are the norm, not the exception.

If you’re consistently waiting weeks—or even months—to collect payments, something’s broken. Payment delays directly impact cash flow and operating margins, forcing CFOs to make tough budget calls. Many of Jorie AI’s clients came to us with AR aging over 90 days and staff overwhelmed with manual collections. After implementing Jorie's platform, one rural hospital saw a 15% increase in collected payments and 3% year-over-year growth.

4. Your cost to collect is going up

Traditional RCM often comes with hidden labor costs. One large orthopedic group saw a 63% reduction in their cost to collect, while a separate GI group saved $691K annually by reducing FTEs by 72 roles. Jorie’s automation-first approach eliminates repetitive tasks and minimizes human error, freeing up staff to focus on value-based work.

5. Cash flow feels unpredictable

RCM inefficiencies often result in unpredictable or stagnant cash flow. One rural hospital working with Jorie AI reported a $2.28M increase in cash flow and a more consistent payment cadence after optimizing their back-end processes.

Whether you're waiting on prior authorizations or resubmitting claims manually, the wrong system delays the revenue you’ve earned.

6. You’re stuck in outdated, disconnected systems

Still toggling between EMRs, clearinghouses, payer portals, and Excel sheets? That’s more than a time suck—it’s a risk. Manual entry leads to errors, delays, and inconsistent data, which affects everything from denial management to reporting. Jorie’s automation agents work across systems, reducing friction and giving clients centralized visibility into the full revenue cycle.

7. You lack real-time visibility

Flying blind with outdated reports or waiting until month-end to identify problems? Without real-time analytics, it’s impossible to pivot fast or identify what’s actually working. That lag costs your team time—and your org, revenue. Jorie’s dashboards let clients monitor KPIs in real time—clean claim rate, cost to collect, denial types—empowering smarter, faster decisions.

‍

‍

8. You’re still using software that’s not built for healthcare

Generic ERP or billing tools weren’t designed for the complexity of the healthcare revenue cycle. If your tech stack wasn’t built with claims, denials, and payer-specific nuances in mind, it’s working against you. Jorie’s founders came from dialysis operations—they experienced these gaps firsthand and created a platform that understands the healthcare RCM ecosystem inside and out.
