Introduction
Hospital CFOs are at the forefront of driving financial sustainability in an increasingly challenging healthcare environment. At MBC, we recognize the critical role wound care billing plays in achieving stronger margins, optimizing the revenue cycle, and supporting organizational growth. In this article, we break down the market opportunity, financial impact, and practical strategies to maximize wound care billing outcomes.
Understanding the Wound Care Billing Opportunity
The U.S. chronic wound care market is valued at approximately $25 billion and continues to grow rapidly due to aging populations and chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity.
Hospitals with comprehensive wound care programs:
- Improve clinical outcomes.
- Capture significant revenue streams.
- Strengthen patient loyalty and retention.
However, many hospitals leave money on the table — with studies showing up to 15% of wound care revenue lost annually due to billing inefficiencies.
Financial Risks of Inefficient Wound Care Billing
Hospitals lacking an optimized wound care billing experience:
- 5-10% revenue loss annually.
- Increased days in accounts receivable (A/R).
- Higher compliance risks and audit vulnerabilities.
- Declines in cash flow and predictability.
At MBC, we ensure hospitals capture and retain every dollar through our specialized wound care billing solutions.
