Collections Partner for R1 RCM Clients

R1 RCM is one of the largest technology-driven revenue cycle management companies in the United States, providing end-to-end RCM services to hospitals and health systems. Their platform combines automation, analytics, and operational expertise to manage everything from patient registration through claims adjudication. Yet even the most sophisticated RCM operation produces accounts that require the specialized intervention of a licensed collection agency — and that's where MSB steps in.

Why R1 RCM Clients Need a Collections Partner

R1 RCM's technology platform handles enormous claim volumes with impressive efficiency. However, a percentage of accounts inevitably age beyond the point where RCM follow-up is cost-effective. These accounts require a different approach:

• Persistent patient outreach — Dedicated collectors who work accounts with focused attention, not as one item in a queue of thousands.
• Skip tracing and location services — Finding patients who've relocated or changed their contact information since their encounter.
• Credit reporting leverage — Motivating payment through the legitimate use of credit bureau reporting, which requires collection agency licensing.
• Legal escalation pathways — For high-balance accounts where litigation is the appropriate recovery mechanism.
• Settlement authority — Negotiating and executing payment arrangements, hardship settlements, and compromise agreements on behalf of the provider.

Scale That Matches R1 RCM's Volume

R1 RCM serves large health systems that generate significant account volumes. MSB has the capacity and infrastructure to absorb high-volume placements without degrading performance. Our collection platform scales dynamically, and our staffing model ensures that even during peak placement periods, every account receives timely initial contact and systematic follow-up.

Data Integration and Reporting

Health systems using R1 RCM expect sophisticated data handling. MSB delivers. We accept batch placements via SFTP, API, or direct integration with common RCM data export formats. Our reporting mirrors the granularity that R1 RCM clients are accustomed to — filterable by facility, service line, payer class, account age, and balance tier. Recovery performance data feeds back into your revenue cycle analytics so you maintain full visibility across the entire AR lifecycle.

MSB maintains enterprise-grade compliance infrastructure: SOC 2 Type II aligned controls, comprehensive HIPAA safeguards, FDCPA and Regulation F compliance programs, recorded calls, and documented workflows for every patient interaction. Our compliance posture meets the vendor management requirements of major health systems and academic medical centers.
