While traditional sources for revenue cycle best practice research and education exist, many of these sources represent an uncontrollable cost for healthcare providers, who must often purchase research and educational items one at a time as needs are identified.

At the foundation of Zimmerman lies membership in The Academy of Healthcare Revenue.  The Academy is focused on the identification of revenue management best practices and education for all areas of the revenue cycle.  The Academy provides a unique membership offering tailored to all key stakeholders throughout the revenue cycle, from executive leadership to patient access, coding, billing, collections, and clinical staff.
