In just the past thirty years there has been a major shift seen in the healthcare industry regarding the rise of post-acute care. From 2000 to 2021, post-acute care has increased from approximately 21% to 30%, which is a huge jump and data reports it’s not slowing down anytime soon. The American Hospital Association has even stated, “post-acute care is a growing and essential health and social service, accounting for more than 2.7 trillion spent on personal health care, and, of that, almost 15% of total Medicare spending.”
As healthcare organizations are taking on this new norm it has also brought on a heap of new challenges for their revenue cycle management. Thankfully, here at Credence Global Solutions we know exactly how to face these challenges head on to maximize your revenue stream.
Unified Billing System

Post-acute care covers a myriad of services such as outpatient rehabilitation, palliative care, and home health.
