Demographic and economic factors are the driving forces behind the rising number of medical claims submitted annually. An aging population's expanding medical needs are increasing the cost and complexity of claims while rising incomes and broader insurance coverage facilitate more visits to healthcare providers. Medical claims processing companies had to adapt quickly to the changes brought on by the pandemic. Swift regulatory changes created challenges for claims processing. Yet, other pandemic effects, like labor shortages, have benefited companies as healthcare providers outsource to alleviate burdens on their workforce. However, recession concerns and inflation pressures will restrict healthcare expenditure growth in 2024, limiting the volume of claims. In all, industry-wide revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 3.0% to $5.4 billion over the past five years, including an expected jump of 1.0% in 2024 alone.
