- Pick Omega Healthcare if you want to hand entire revenue cycle functions to a proven large-scale outsourcer rather than buy and staff more software.
Conifer Health Solutions
End-to-end revenue cycle services from a Tenet subsidiary
- Founded
- 2008
- HQ
- Frisco, TX
- Stage
- Subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare
- Raised
- n/a
What it does
- Full and co-sourced revenue cycle outsourcing
- Patient access, eligibility, and financial clearance
- Coding, billing, and AR management
- Denials prevention and appeals
- Value-based care and population health administration
Where it's strong
- Operates at true enterprise scale, supporting over 600 clients and more than $30 billion in net patient revenue annually.
- Decades of running Tenet's own hospitals means its playbooks are tested on real acute-care operations.
- Can take on the whole revenue cycle including staff, which few vendors besides Optum and R1 can do.
What buyers should weigh
- Its largest external client, CommonSpirit, paid roughly $1.9 billion to exit its contract and insource RCM, a signal worth probing in diligence.
- Ownership by Tenet, a hospital operator, gives some competing health systems pause about strategic alignment.
- Full outsourcing engagements are long, hard to unwind, and transfer significant operational control to the vendor.

Omega Healthcare
Global outsourced revenue cycle, coding, and clinical services
- Founded
- 2003
- HQ
- Boca Raton, FL
- Stage
- PE-owned (Ontario Teachers', Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Everstone)
- Raised
- n/a
What it does
- Medical coding at one of the industry's largest scales
- Billing, charge entry, and AR follow-up
- Denials management and appeals support
- Payer operations and clinical data abstraction
- Workflow automation and analytics over service delivery
Where it's strong
- Scale is the draw: roughly 35,000 trained staff serving 350+ healthcare organizations, with capacity to absorb large coding and AR volumes fast.
- Analyst recognition, including Leader placements in the Everest medical coding PEAK Matrix and the 2025-2026 IDC MarketScape for US RCM services.
- Pairs offshore labor arbitrage with automation, so unit costs are hard for onshore vendors to match.
What buyers should weigh
- Delivery is heavily offshore, which some organizations restrict for PHI handling or contract policy reasons; review data governance closely.
- It is a services company, not a software product, so results depend on the specific team and account management you get.
- Private equity ownership with a 2025 stake sale means strategy and pricing pressure can shift with the ownership cycle.
