Here are five health systems that have selected Cincinnati-based Ensemble Health Partners for revenue cycle management services in the past year:
1. Chillicothe, Ohio-based Adena Health System announced Jan. 19 that it is sending 340 revenue cycle department employees to Ensemble's payroll as part of a plan to boost the system's financial stability. The employees who are transitioning will maintain their current salary and seniority when the change goes into effect March 5. Adena has partnered with Ensemble since 2018, and many of the transitioning employees are remote.
2. Winchester, Va.-based Valley Health System selected Ensemble on Nov. 2 to optimize its revenue cycle operations. Valley Health said it is working to rebound from financial losses due to lower procedural volumes, supply chain issues and staffing challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Nashville, Tenn.-based Ardent Health Services, a network of 30 hospitals in six states, expanded its revenue cycle management partnership with Ensemble on May 11. Ensemble has provided RCM services to Ardent locations in Idaho, New Jersey and Texas since 2017. The partnership will be expanded to include all Ardent markets.
4. Miami-based Nicklaus Children's Health System said May 2 it is transitioning all revenue cycle management operations to Ensemble.
5. Campbell County Health in Gillette, Wyo., said April 28 it will outsource its revenue cycle operations to Ensemble. The health system said in 2021 it planned to outsource its revenue cycle operations, including registration, prior authorization, coding, scanning and billing. Ensemble won a competitive bid and worked to negotiate a contract with the health system.
