What to look for in an urgent care RCM vendor

For urgent care specifically, make sure the provider can handle:

• High patient volume
• Walk-in / episodic billing
• Frequent eligibility verification
• Urgent care coding complexity
• Fast claims turnaround
• Robust self-pay and point-of-service collections
• Denial management and appeals
• Payment plans and text/email billing for patients

Questions to ask vendors

Before choosing one, ask:

• What urgent care clients do you currently support?
• What is your clean claims rate?
• How do you handle denials and appeals?
• What’s your process for self-pay collections?
• Do you support point-of-service collections?
• What reporting will I get on days in A/R, collection rate, and bad debt?
• Are there setup fees, minimums, or long-term contracts?
• Do you provide coding review or audit support?

If you want a short list by clinic size

• Small urgent care clinic: AdvancedMD, Tebra, BillFlash
• Mid-sized / multi-site urgent care: CareCloud, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth
