What Triage Consulting Group does

Triage Consulting Group is a privately held healthcare services firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, that provides payment and collection services for hospitals. The firm historically specialized in identifying and recovering underpaid, denied, and complex claims on behalf of hospital clients, a function that positioned it within the broader hospital revenue cycle management (RCM) services market.

According to the structured data, Triage Consulting Group now operates as a subsidiary or business unit under R1 RCM, having been integrated into the Cloudmed brand (Cloudmed was previously known as Revint). In its current form, the Triage/Cloudmed offering is organized around a platform-plus-modules architecture called the CloudmedAI Platform, which delivers four integrated solution suites: an Acceleration Suite (denials recovery, complex claim referrals, accounts receivable (AR) recovery, and physician advisory); an Optimization Suite (diagnosis-related group (DRG) validation, charge capture, underpayment recovery, transfer DRG); a Government Navigation Suite (Medicare bad debt, disproportionate share hospital (DSH), Worksheet S-10, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) redetermination, 340B recovery); and an Automation Suite. The firm employs 501–1,000 people and serves large enterprise healthcare providers, with named customers including HCA Healthcare, Baylor Scott & White Health, Yale New Haven Health, Sutter Health, and OSF Healthcare.

The business model is managed services-oriented, with revenue tied to recovery-based or contracted service fees rather than publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is direct enterprise sales, supplemented by the channel and market reach of its parent, R1 RCM. The firm holds HITRUST CSF certification and has received Best in KLAS recognition in 2023 across Robotic Process Automation, Denials Management Services, and Ambulatory RCM Services categories.
