Annual healthcare spending is $2.7 trillion in the United States. The cost of getting paid is more than 17%, or about $460 billion. Compared to other industries, healthcare payment processing is extremely inefficient; e.g., retail settles payments for less than 2% of revenue, and financial services settles payments for less than 1%. If healthcare could settle payments for 10%, savings would exceed $150 billion.”
