WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 10, 2022 – AGS Health, the tech-enabled revenue cycle management solution provider for major healthcare organizations across the U.S., has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s Medical Coding Operations PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2023. The company, which was recognized in the top quartile of the market, was also recognized by Everest Group earlier this year as a Leader and a Star Performer in the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Operations PEAK Matrix Assessment 2022.
The report assesses 22 operations service providers based on an evaluation of relative strengths, limitations relative to market impact, vision and capability, and the ability to successfully deliver services. AGS Health was highlighted as one of only five organizations to have strengthened their market presence with year-over-year revenue growth of more than 20%.
Everest Group analysts note that market changes, including a rapidly growing geriatric population and rising incidence of chronic diseases coupled with the ongoing shortage of qualified coders, are driving demand for outsourced medical coding services. Additionally, the transition from an inpatient to a home-based care delivery model, adoption of telehealth and remote patient monitoring, and release of new code sets have increased the complexity associated with medical coding processes – causing gradual shifts in medical coding services that are prompting healthcare providers to leverage AGS Health and other third-party providers for support.
“Given that coding is one of the most outsourced segments in the RCM space, we are proud to have achieved this notable industry recognition in a highly competitive market,” said Patrice Wolfe, CEO of AGS Health. “It is a testament to our focus on providing quality services and the importance we place on staying current in a rapidly evolving coding landscape. We are committed to providing our customers with a strategic mix of technology, analytics, and process improvement to help ease their administrative and financial burdens so they can focus on their core mission of providing quality patient care.”
