HBMA

HBMA healthcare system. We are a non-profit professional trade association for RCM.

HBMA is a recognized revenue cycle management (RCM) authority by both the commercial insurance industry and the governmental agencies that regulate or otherwise affect the U.S. Founded in 1993, the Healthcare Business Management Association (HBMA) is the only trade association representing third-party medical billers. HBMA members process physician and other provider claims integral to the health

care delivery system. They not only bill for medical services, but frequently perform all of the physician's administrative functions. Three out of four HBMA members are expanding their business to include accounts receivable management, consulting and practice management services. Constant changes in Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurance legislation and regulations make it essential for third-party billers to maintain a presence in Washington, D.C. The HBMA was created to work with and educate Congress and the Administration on issues affecting third-party billers. HBMA members typically provide services to specialty physician groups and primary care practices and process Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance claims. A typical HBMA member processes approximately 20,000 claims per month, totaling $20 million per year; some do much more. The association is deeply involved in legislative and regulatory issues affecting physicians, Medicare, Medicaid and the managed care industry.

We're excited to highlight our September 23 session:

"The Rural Health Revenue Problem No Dashboard Shows"
Presented by Jessica Phillips & Deepak Sharma

Rural healthcare revenue challenges are often not caused by competency gaps—they’re caused by visibility gaps. In this insightful session, Jessica and Deepak will uncover three critical bottlenecks that quietly slow cash flow and erode collectability, even when traditional RCM metrics appear healthy.

Attendees will learn how to:
✔️ Identify hidden revenue cycle bottlenecks impacting rural healthcare organizations
✔️ Understand why standard dashboards often miss the true drivers of cash performance
✔️ Apply practical, low-complexity strategies to improve cash flow without adding staff, technology, or operational burden

Beyond this session, HBMA’s premier annual event features expert-led education, networking opportunities, an expansive exhibit hall with leading RCM vendors, and this year’s exciting carnival-themed experience.
