eCareHealth Revenue Cycle Management is an EHR module for insurance eligibility checks, claims, denials, payment posting and revenue reporting. It verifies coverage in real time before visits. The built-in claim scrubber is stated to catch 94% of common rejection reasons before submission, and the company reports a first-pass clean-claim rate above 99%. Denials move through a workqueue with payer-specific playbooks and automated routing; the system suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes from documentation with compliance checks. It automatically posts electronic remittance advice and provides dashboards for A/R aging by provider and payer, days in A/R, denial trends and net collection rate. Connections include Change Healthcare, Waystar, Availity, Office Ally and other clearinghouses, with direct payer links available for high-volume payers. An optional managed service covers claims, follow-up and appeals. Credentialing is not part of the base module and is offered separately. The broader platform lists FHIR R4 API, HL7 v2 and other integrations. A two-week trial includes Group-tier feature access and does not require a credit card. Solo costs $99 a month; Group costs $129 a month. Pricing for Enterprise is custom.
