Discuss the two reasons that support the importance of provider involvement in revenue cycle management.

One hot topic in many healthcare organizations today is revenue cycle management. We typically do not get paid when services are rendered, nor do we get the full cost of providing that care. As a result, we incur costs for facilities, supplies, and labor that must be covered.
