The main types of services in medical billing outsourcing are the front end and back end.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The medical billing outsourcing market is expected to grow from $23.76 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 12.0%. The rising need for error minimization contributed to the growth of the medical billing outsourcing market. It is estimated that, in the US, 80% of medical bills contain errors. For instance, Equifax, a credit agency firm, found in its audit that hospital bills ranging above $10,000 have an average error amount of $1,300. It is also estimated that doctors lose around $125 billion each year due to poor billing practices in the USA. The rising need for error minimization and optimization of the billing process drove the medical billing outsourcing market. Major players in the medical billing outsourcing market are Experian Information Solutions, Cerner, Kareo, GE Healthcare, Genpact, Quest Diagnostics, McKesson, EClinicalWorks, The SSI Group, HCL and Allscripts. The variable cost charged in the medical billing services by the service provider is expected to limit the medical billing outsourcing market. According to the Medical Billing Service Review, there is a price for every service provided by medical billing service providers. The charge on the billing services is a percentage ranging between 3% to 10% per bill indicating more the number of patients, more the hospital or clinic should pay to the service providers.

The medical billing service providers are expanding their service through cloud-based medical billing software and Electronic Health Record (EHR) services. Cloud-based medical billing software provides more security with the patient details compared to the alternatives and companies are launching cloud-based software to provide enhanced security to their clients. For instance, in 2021, Epic Systems, a US based software company providing cloud-based medical software that may be used by a wide range of practice kinds and sizes. With built-in EHR, medical billing and coding, patient management features, and more, their platform provides complete Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) capability.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the retail and wholesale markets in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the retail and wholesale markets will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
