Market Dynamic

The market dynamic is influenced by the increasing cost of healthcare services and government programs, which drive the growth of this market. The growing occurrence of chronic disease requires continuous medical care, and treatment like doctor visits, and medication besides that, the demand for this disease is rising continually which consequently results in the rise of health spending, thus accelerating the market growth, too. Moreover, the rise in the cost of prescription medicine alongside growing patient numbers will lead to a burden on patients, hence the growth potential of the market is improved. The stakeholders are also, increasingly involved in payment, because of high medical costs.
However, low quality of care, high cost of treatment, and similar administrative load are keeping this market from doing accomplishments.

Research Scope and Analysis

By Claim

The underpaid segment is expected to account for the revenue share of 53.1% in 2024 due to the rising number of false claims and unnecessary utilization of healthcare services resulting in underpaid settlements. Also, there are many cases of people and companies scamming federal and state healthcare systems. 

This segment includes placing a claim for medicines, medical equipment, services, and treatment that was never given. Further, consumers are not paying the entire cost of services, they are more inclined to use them, which fuels the market. Some intentionally utilize medical services that are not necessary for their health.
 
Full-paid claims are processed where the payer has reimbursed the provider according to the contracted rates or fee schedules without any discrepancies or underpayments.

By Payers

Based on payers, the market is divided into private and public payers, private payers are expected to dominate the market with the largest revenue share in 2024 due to the presence of a large number of private organizations in the market. These are insurance companies that are privately owned and operated and provide health insurance plans to individuals and groups, such as employers or associations. 

Half of the American population is insured which provides private health coverage.
Growing policies and acts regarding healthcare services increase the size of the private insurance market. This segment forces those who are not covered by company insurance programs to acquire private health insurance and creates incentives for employers to offer insurance. 

These are elements responsible for the segment's expansion. Furthermore, the public segment is growing due to government-funded healthcare programs that provide coverage to eligible individuals.

By Providers

The hospital segment is expected to grow with the largest revenue share of 37.1% in 2024 due to the increasing old population along with a rising number of surgeries as these are medical facilities that provide several healthcare services, including emergency care, surgery, inpatient care, and more which are based on their size, scope of services, and ownership. 

Reimbursement in this segment involves a complex system of payments based on diagnosis-related groups for inpatient care, fee-for-service payments for outpatient services, or bundled payments for episodes of care. The physician offices segment is predicted to dominate the market due to reimbursement based on fee-for-service payments, where healthcare providers are reimbursed based on the services they offer, like office visits, consultations, procedures, and tests.
