The Hidden Cost of Medical Billing Software

Episode 12 of Services Economy with Fexingo dives into the often-overlooked world of medical billing software—a $15 billion industry that touches every healthcare transaction. Lucas and Luna explore how companies like Epic Systems and Change Healthcare have built duopolies that inflate administrative costs, and how one startup, Alleviate AI, is trying to undercut them by automating prior authorization. They walk through a single claim's journey from doctor's office to insurer, revealing why U.S. healthcare spends $1,000 per patient annually on billing alone. A specific look at how software middlemen shape the cost of care, and whether new entrants can break the grip of legacy vendors. #MedicalBilling #HealthcareEconomics #EpicSystems #ChangeHealthcare #AlleviateAI #PriorAuthorization #AdministrativeCosts #HealthIT #Duopoly #RevenueCycleManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ServiceSector #HealthcareSoftware #CostTransparency #Cerner #Interoperability #BillingReform Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
