Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone who wants a clear, practical understanding of how revenue really works in digital health. It’s especially helpful for:

  • Operators, finance leaders, and cross-functional teammates who rely on billing performance but aren’t RCM experts
  • Early-stage teams standing up billing for the first time
  • Organizations troubleshooting denials, A/R issues, or unclear workflows

If you touch revenue even indirectly, you’ll benefit from this course.

How much is it?

The course is free to attend thanks to our sponsors at Joyful Health.

Do I have to be at every session? How long are they?

Each session is 90 minutes, and while recordings will be available, the material builds from one day to the next and the sessions are built to be interactive—so we strongly recommend attending all three live to get the full value.

Is there a lot of work?

Nope — this is meant to be approachable. There’s no homework, and any extra resources are completely optional. You’ll get the most value by joining live and engaging with the examples and Q&A, but you can still follow along easily without doing anything outside the sessions.

Will I be a digital health RCM expert after this course?

Not yet—but you will walk away with a strong foundation. This course gives you the core concepts, frameworks, and real-world patterns you need to understand how revenue works, why it breaks, and how to build it the right way. True expertise comes from applying these skills over time, but this is the roadmap that gets you started quickly and confidently.
