Healthcare Claims Payments: Sizing the U.S. Small-Provider Market
Banks that can ease claims payments for small healthcare providers position themselves to control U.S. claims payments.
Boston, June 11, 2014 – As ACA makes its needs known, non-banks are emerging as developers of an early stage business-to-business card market. To get in this game, ease patient accounting, and reach commercial payer customers, banks must enhance healthcare electronic funds transfer, virtual cards, and paper check business-to-business payments. Over the next three years, banks offering all three claims payment products will be positioned to achieve their ultimate objective—controlling all U.S. healthcare claims payments in a US$92 billion GDV commercial payments market—while replicating healthcare institutions' electronic payment adoption success for physicians and specialists.
Based on a Q1 2014 Aite Group survey of 142 U.S. small-provider healthcare businesses, this Aite Group Impact Report projects U.S. small-provider healthcare business claims payments, sizes the U.S. small-provider healthcare business market (remittance and commercial) in terms of the GDV and claims payments, and provides unique insight into where small healthcare businesses project they will receive future payments.
