Allscripts RCM Services provides physician practices of every size and specialty with a complete outsourced business office that is paid for on an ongoing basis, as a percentage of their monthly collections. The turnkey, full-service billing and settlement solution integrates the market-leading Allscripts practice management technology with professional services and a full claims management, patient payment and clearinghouse suite.
A cloud-based business solution requiring no new hardware or up-front costs, Allscripts RCM Services manages the entire revenue cycle continuum, from operational planning to scheduling to final collections and denials management-all working in synch to drive out costs and drive in cash flow. Allscripts RCM Services leverages the Allscripts solution set along with the company’s proven expertise in revenue cycle management:
- Practice Management technology used by more than 100,000 U.S. physicians and staff, and integrated with the nation’s leading Electronic Health Record

In addition to its solutions for the physician office, Allscripts will also showcase at HFMA its full line of hospital revenue cycle solutions including Sunrise Financial Manager(TM), as well as the “HFMA Peer Reviewed” Sunrise EPSi(TM) business decision support and performance management solution.
Sunrise Financial Manager(TM) delivers end-to-end management of the revenue cycle and infuses automated workflow into every aspect of the business office for those hospitals that maintain their own records as opposed to outsourcing billings and collections. The full suite of solutions is integrated with Sunrise Clinical Manager(TM), the Allscripts acute care Electronic Health Record. Sunrise Financial Manager promotes compliance, billing and collections accuracy, and revenue cycle optimization through process automation and visual workflow powered by Sunrise Visual Workflow(TM). As a result, hospitals receive a single, seamless solution for both institutional and professional billing and receivables management.
The flexible Allscripts platform enables the company to continually evolve its Revenue Cycle solutions to support transformations in healthcare such as bundled payments, accountable care organizations and general reimbursement reform.
One of the requirements from healthcare organizations is an integrated set of tools for forecasting that leads to documented performance improvement. Sunrise EPSi combines financial and clinical information to identify opportunities for growth or re-engineering. Sunrise EPSi leverages web-based technology to provide anytime desktop access to critical management information, empowering decision makers from senior management to departmental managers to take control of financial, clinical and operational performance.
