The Revenue Cycle Group

The Revenue Cycle Group provides operational and consulting services focused exclusively on healthcare revenue cycle management for hospitals, medical clinics, and physician practices. Founded by Keith Bull, who brings over 29 years of healthcare finance experience, the firm positions itself as a solutions-based alternative to traditional consulting by not only identifying problems but implementing fixes directly.

The company offers comprehensive revenue cycle services including interim C-suite staffing, financial turnaround management, medical coding and billing, patient access optimization, compliance reviews, and charge integrity assessments. Their approach emphasizes customized solutions over standardized methodologies, with particular expertise in coding instruction through their affiliated Coding At Best program and AI-based workflow automation powered by CognitiveHealthIT.

The team includes specialized healthcare professionals with backgrounds in healthcare administration, medical coding certification, and compliance management. They maintain active involvement in professional organizations including HFMA, AAHAM, MGMA, and AAPC.

Organizations should consider The Revenue Cycle Group when they need rapid intervention for revenue cycle problems combined with direct operational support. Their boutique approach allows for highly customized solutions rather than standardized consulting frameworks, making them particularly valuable for organizations with unique operational challenges or those requiring immediate staffing solutions.

Expect a collaborative engagement model where consultants work alongside existing staff to implement improvements, with particular strength in coding operations, patient access workflows, and financial turnaround situations requiring quick cash collection improvement.

The Revenue Cycle Group works exclusively with healthcare providers, focusing specifically on the financial operations that support patient care delivery. Their healthcare specialization encompasses both hospital and physician practice environments, with deep expertise in healthcare-specific compliance requirements, medical coding systems (ICD-10, CPT), and payer contract management.

The firm addresses healthcare-specific challenges including HEDIS record reviews, Community Health Needs Assessments, and workers' compensation services, demonstrating understanding of the regulatory and operational complexity unique to healthcare revenue cycle management.

Ideal clients are community hospitals, independent medical clinics, or physician practice groups with 50-500 beds or providers who are struggling with specific revenue cycle bottlenecks, experiencing staffing shortages in critical billing or coding roles, or facing financial pressure requiring rapid improvement in cash collections and claim approval rates.
