Omega Healthcare, a leading provider of technology-enabled RCM services, announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to further enhance its advanced AI capabilities across the revenue cycle. Through the integration of Microsoft Azure cutting-edge AI models through Azure AI Foundry, and the company’s proprietary Omega Digital Platform (ODP), Omega Healthcare launched more than 20 generative and agentic AI solutions to help healthcare organizations enhance revenue cycle operations and improve financial performance.
Since
establishing the relationship with Microsoft in 2023, Omega Healthcare has
rapidly deployed these solutions leveraging intelligent automation within its
ODP framework helping healthcare organizations automate complex workflows, such
as correspondence processing, appeal filing, denial management, and call center
support—while increasing accuracy, compliance, and profitability for its
customers.
“By
combining the strength of our RCM and healthcare expertise with Microsoft’s
advanced large language models, we are unlocking new efficiencies, previously
considered by the market as too complex to automate,” said Anurag Mehta, CEO
and Co-Founder, Omega Healthcare. “We are bringing scalable, tech-enabled
services without requiring healthcare leaders to take on large, risky
technology investments, freeing them up to focus on what matters most –
delivering exceptional patient care.”
“Omega
Healthcare is one of the most innovative partners we’ve worked with in applying
Microsoft Azure AI Foundry capabilities – including Azure OpenAI in Foundry
Models – to revenue cycle management and other real-world healthcare challenges,”
said Elena Bonfiglioli, General Manager, Worldwide Healthcare at Microsoft.
“Their ability to translate AI innovation into practical, high-impact solutions
across the entire revenue cycle and beyond, has positioned them as a clear
leader in tech-enabled RCM transformation.”
The
AI solutions incorporate Microsoft Azure’s intelligent automation engines that
are seamlessly integrated across the ODP, supporting the full revenue cycle:
patient access, mid-cycle operations, and back-end processes. These modules
combine advanced AI models in Azure AI Foundry with Omega Healthcare’s deep
domain expertise to automate routine processes, such as medical coding and
integrate with ODP’s AI/ML models to support key services for customers, such
as clinical documentation improvement (CDI), denials management and prevention.
For example, ODP can automate routine tasks across the revenue cycle, including
standard denial processes, evidence retrieval, and appeal submission. Key
outcomes include up to 75% reductions in AR follow-up days, faster resolution
times, and improved compliance.
Omega
Healthcare has also launched additional solutions for payers unleashing new
potential for retrospective HCC coding automation and has deployed solutions
for areas like data curation for life sciences.
“The
possibilities are endless as we continue building new AI-powered capabilities
across the healthcare ecosystem in collaboration with Microsoft and our
customers,” added Mehta.
Highlighting
the additional promise for the future of AI innovation in healthcare, a recent Everest Group
survey, concluded
an overwhelming majority (85%) of senior healthcare executives surveyed believe
AI will improve efficiencies in RCM operations over the next five years.
“We
are thrilled to be a pioneer in driving RCM transformation,” emphasized Mehta.
“Our customers are already experiencing the benefits of generative and agentic
AI and are excited about future developments as we work together and continue
to innovate.”
