EnableComp's Strategic Move to Boost Revenue Cycle Management

In a significant move aimed at revolutionizing the complex landscape of health revenue cycle management, EnableComp has recently acquired Health Resources Optimization, Inc. (H/ROI). This strategic acquisition, announced on January 12, 2026, centers around addressing the growing challenges faced by healthcare providers concerning complex clinical denials, particularly DRG (Diagnosis-Related Group) validation and revenue recovery.

EnableComp, known for tackling the most intricate challenges in revenue cycle management, positions this acquisition as a crucial enhancement of its capabilities to capture hidden revenue amidst the sustained margin pressures that hospitals are confronting today. As denials from payers continue to escalate, the integration of H/ROI’s expertise is expected to significantly bolster EnableComp's ability to recover lost revenue and tackle difficult clinical denials.

The Context of the Acquisition

Healthcare providers, especially hospitals, are currently grappling with intense scrutiny from payers and the resulting pressure on their profit margins due to increased clinical denials. In this context, EnableComp’s acquisition of H/ROI—a well-regarded clinical denials and revenue recovery firm—becomes a vital aspect of its strategy to offer enhanced revenue cycle solutions.

H/ROI brings over three decades of specialized experience in resolving the complexities surrounding clinical denials, making it an ideal fit for EnableComp. The partnership aims to combine H/ROI’s rich experience with EnableComp’s AI-driven technology and national reach, ultimately creating a robust framework for revenue recovery that is capable of addressing the most sophisticated challenges in the healthcare revenue cycle.

A New Era of Complex Revenue Intelligence

The newly formed synergy emphasizes EnableComp’s commitment to redefining revenue cycle management specifically for complex claims and intricate denials. With the launch of their Complex Revenue Intelligence™ approach, the partnership aims to enhance revenue recovery through intelligent technology that can identify revenue risks and guide recovery efforts more effectively.

Frank Forte, the CEO of EnableComp, stated, “This acquisition enhances our ability to drive revenue improvement across the most complex parts of the revenue cycle — areas where missing a single opportunity can lead to substantial revenue loss for hospitals.” He emphasized that the evolving landscape of healthcare requires a partner equipped to handle the intricacies associated with complex clinical denials, a need that EnableComp is well-prepared to meet.

Enhanced Capabilities and Client Benefits

The integration of H/ROI’s expertise is already benefiting existing clients by providing deeper clinical insights and creating more refined processes for navigating the challenging aspects of the revenue cycle. This, they assert, will empower clients to improve their financial performance with heightened confidence and efficiency.

Ann Russo, Co-Founder of H/ROI, remarked that joining forces with EnableComp is a natural evolution that enhances their ability to impact healthcare providers positively. “By combining our expertise with EnableComp's AI-driven platform and national scale, we can help our clients achieve faster resolutions, higher recovery rates, and the confidence that comes from having the industry's leading specialists backing them,” she added.

EnableComp currently serves over 1,000 hospitals and has successfully recovered $3 billion annually through its e360 RCM® platform, enhancing accuracy and operational speed in managing complex claims and denials.

Looking Ahead

As EnableComp continues to invest in clinical expertise and specialized technologies, the firm aims to empower healthcare providers to protect their profit margins and recover revenues that might otherwise be lost. Emphasizing the importance of strong partnerships with healthcare providers, EnableComp is committed to transforming the revenue cycle from a regular source of headaches into a stable, reliable component of a healthcare organization's financial framework.

With the completion of this acquisition, EnableComp is not only consolidating its position as a leader in the revenue cycle management space but is also setting new standards for financial stability in healthcare. The fusion of advanced technological solutions with deep clinical knowledge marks a promising development for the future of healthcare financial management.
