Conifer Health Solutions has added and expanded several revenue cycle partnerships in 2024, many of which were part of hospital sales involving its parent company, Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare.
Here are four revenue cycle management outsourcing partnerships health systems struck with Conifer in 2024:
1. Tenet Healthcare and Roseville, Calif.-based Adventist Health announced Feb. 29 that Tenet's Conifer Health Solutions subsidiary will enter into an agreement to provide hospital and physician revenue cycle services for Adventist. Adventist also signed a definitive agreement to purchase two California hospitals from Tenet.
2. Conifer and Lebanon, N.H.-based Dartmouth Health extended their partnership through a new multiyear deal Feb. 5. Conifer will continue to provide Dartmouth Health with comprehensive RCM services that include patient access, financial clearance, coding and patient financial services.
3. Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health completed its deal to acquire three South Carolina hospitals from Tenet on Feb. 1. As part of the deal, Conifer has entered into a new and expanded 15-year contract to provide RCM services to the three hospitals and related operations.
4. Orange, Calif.-based UCI Health reached a definitive agreement Feb. 1 to acquire Tenet Healthcare's Pacific Coast Network, which includes four hospitals in Southern California and their associated outpatient locations.
