Healthcare Management
Healthcare Management (HCM) was formed in 1992 by a group of rural hospitals and healthcare organizations. This innovative and collaborative group of providers sought to take control of their bad debt collections and improve how accounts were collected in their communities. Their first step was to purchase A-1 Collection Agency and subsequently formed AR Services in 2001 to provide extended business office services. Today HCM is owned and governed by 20 rural hospitals and healthcare organizations in Colorado and Utah and provides services to over 150 clients.
