Case Study: CHRISTUS Health achieves financial turnaround and scalable growth with AthenaHealth Inc.

CHRISTUS Health - Customer Case Study

CHRISTUS Health, a rapidly growing Catholic nonprofit health system with more than 300 providers across 72 practices, faced serious financial stability issues after losing its entire revenue cycle management team during a headquarters move. To rebuild operations and protect cash flow, CHRISTUS partnered with AthenaHealth Inc. and used its cloud-based revenue cycle, EMR, and practice management services.

AthenaHealth Inc. helped CHRISTUS maintain consistency in billing and operations while supporting growth across multiple markets. The results were significant: CHRISTUS cut expenses by more than $10 million per year, increased collection per encounter from $65 to nearly $90, and reduced days in accounts receivable from 53.5 to 33.5 days.
