MURRAY, Utah, Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — R1 RCM Inc. (NASDAQ: RCM) (“R1”), announced today a 10-year partnership with St. Clair Health to serve as its primary provider of end-to-end revenue cycle management (RCM) services.  St. Clair Health is a nationally recognized, integrated health system serving residents of Southwestern Pennsylvania. It is the parent organization of St. Clair Hospital; St. Clair Medical Group, a multispecialty group encompassing 150 primary and specialty care physicians; and a growing number of outpatient care locations across the region.

R1’s fully integrated, purpose-built technology platform, operating methods, enterprise-wide analytics and intelligent automation are designed to seamlessly integrate with St. Clair Health’s current infrastructure. The top goals of the partnership include optimizing revenue cycle processes, improving patient access platforms and strengthening workflow standardization.

St. Clair Health chose to partner with R1 because of its proven ability to deliver better outcomes and improve the patient experience. Another key factor was the alignment of culture between the two organizations, as both R1 and St. Clair Health value the contributions of current revenue cycle team members. As such, approximately 150 St. Clair Health revenue cycle employees will be welcomed into the R1 workforce with comparable positions, pay and benefits, as well as additional growth opportunities based on R1’s size, scale and resources.

“With R1, we have found an innovative, experienced partner who prioritizes investments in both people and technology,” said Eric Luttringer, senior vice president and chief financial officer at St. Clair Health. “We are confident this partnership will build on our team’s high-quality work and equip us with new technology and tools that will strengthen St. Clair Health’s position as a regional leader in quality, patient satisfaction and value.”
