Catch the buzz online at HIMSS 2018 this week.
RCM teams are finding success with tech tools that improve the patient financial experience. Portal billing tools are part of bigger patient engagement strategies:

- This strategy is key, citing how patient and provider needs around billing are converging with both populations desiring the earliest possible engagement around discussions of cost.
