Industry Challenges
The healthcare industry has been through tremendous changes in the past decade and continues to face many challenges, including staffing shortages, reimbursement complexity, and administrative burden.
Also, there has been a gradual shift from fee-for-service payments to value-based and clinical outcomes-based care payments. This requires more risk-taking and a different model for care delivery for many providers.
There also has been a rise in patient consumerism in healthcare as patients demand an overall better experience.
Healthcare organizations are aggressively addressing these realities and are finding opportunities for growth and expansion through investing in information technology and digital assets and transforming their data strategy at an accelerated pace. CareCloud solutions facilitate the necessary transition.
CareCloud’s End-to-End Solutions
The end-to-end solutions allow the company to be both methodical and nimble across a broad spectrum of clients and partners. CareCloud currently serves ~2,600 large & small medical practices, hospitals and health systems nationwide.
Cloud-based Software - the core systems that power medical practices across clinical, financial, and patient workflows, including practice management systems, EHR solutions and patient experience applications or customized purpose-built applications.
Technology-enabled Services - software-enabled revenue cycle management offerings, business intelligence, robotic process automation, medical coding, etc.
Digital Health Offering - chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, and telemedicine solutions
Healthcare IT Consulting & Staffing - an extensive set of services including EHR vendor-agnostic optimization and activation, project management, IT transformation consulting, process improvement, training, education, and staffing for large healthcare organizations including health systems and hospitals.
Workforce augmentation leverages the company’s unique resources, and in turn selling this capacity at scale directly to partners and clients at a reduced rate compared to other competitors in the same space. These workforce augmentation capabilities include offshore engineering capacity for development and offshore revenue cycle management operations personnel.
Additional Provider Services - medical practice management services to a select group of medical practices, a group purchasing organization with negotiated discounts with pharmaceutical manufactures containing more than 4,000 physician and mid-level provider members and other ancillary services.
Sizable and Growing Markets
The opportunity is sizable with over 1 million physicians, 6,000 hospitals and 500 EHR vendors, and 1,500 billing companies.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Delotte, national healthcare spending in the U.S. was $4.1 trillion in 2020, and will grow at a 5.4% compounded annual rate, reaching $6.2 trillion by 2028.
Fortune Business Insights predicts physician revenue (CareCloud’s business is largely driven by client’s volume or revenue) will expand from $252 billion in 2021 to $288 billion in 2029.
Grand View Research expects a 7.6% CAGR in hospital spending in 2022 to 2030.
Offshore Footprint as a Competitive Edge
CareCloud offshore presence (3,500+ English-speaking, college-educated employees in Pakistan and Sri Lanka and 500 dedicated technology professionals) has two key advantages:
-
Provides a competitive advantage on costs
-
CareCloud utilizes four offshore delivery centers in Pakistan and Sri Lanka
-
Most medical billing companies that CareCloud has acquired used domestic labor or subcontractors from higher cost locations to provide a substantial portion of their services. CareCloud is able to achieve significant cost reductions and high quality by shifting these labor to its own offshore employees.
-
-
Gains access to a professional workforce as talent (especially in the technology field) continues to experience global shortages.

M&A - Has Been A Key Driver of Growth
CareCloud was historically highly active in M&A to achieve growth. Most acquisitions are for adding customers, revenue, and occasionally extra capabilities. It has a solid track record in acquiring value creating assets and companies and integrating them to drive profitability improvements.
When integrating the businesses, the company’s playbook is to quickly reduce the cost structure of the acquirees, Integral to its success is replacing offshore subcontractors with the company’s global team and greater use of its technology. The company has completed 17 acquisitions since its IPO in 2014.
The following are the most recent acquisitions:
Acquired in June 2020; spin-off of GE Healthcare in 2013 and went private.
-
Leading healthcare technology and RCM solutions provider to large, complex, multi-specialty physician groups, prestigious healthcare systems, and national healthcare IT vendors
-
Robust robotic process automation business line
-
Proprietary, cloud-based business intelligence software
Acquired in June 2021 after having combined with two well-known healthcare system consulting brands.
-
Deep relationships in the health system / hospital space
-
Ability to drive new and large growth opportunities for CareCloud (BI, RPA, RCM, etc.)
-
Expands CareCloud footprint in enterprise and health system verticals
-
Enables broader portfolio of solutions for current CareCloud clients
Organic Growth & Partnerships Will be Key Contributors of Future Growth
In the recent past, CareCloud started utilizing a more balanced approach in expanding the business and will be focusing on organic growth, and strategic initiatives, as well.
For partnerships, CareCloud maintains business relationships with third parties that utilize, promote, or support its sales or services within specific industries or geographic regions.
Some of these partners are customers through CareCloud Force which the company leverages its technology and/or on-demand workforce capabilities of its global team. This is particularly useful at times like post Covid-19 when hospitals and large practices need additional staff and they can’t hire as easily as due to labor shortage.
Other partners are more traditional channel partners who help promote CareCloud solutions.
The company has expanded its sales and marketing team to support future organic growth; its global sales team has grown by 11x since 2019 and measurable metrics and analysis such as quota, customer acquisition costs, close rate analysis and loss reason analysis have been established to closely track and ensure optimum performance.
With an expanded sales force, CareCloud is well positioned to acquire new customers and expand the share of wallet of existing customers through cross-selling new solutions. In 2022, CareCloud introduced CareCloud Wellness solution suite, which consists of Chronic Care Management and Remote Patient Monitoring, which could serve as a catalyst for future organic growth. New business bookings in Q3 2022 come largely from these capability launches.
A high-single-digit long-term annual organic revenue growth rate is reasonable target
The engagement reduction of two large hospital customers who were acquired and migrated to their acquirers' systems in mid-2022 will be a headwind for 2023 performance, but a high single-digit long term annual organic revenue growth rate beyond 2023 is reasonable. It is broken down into the following components: 1) new client additions could drive 10%, assuming the same number of percent of investment in sales and marketing, and similar customer acquisition costs as in 2022, 2) cross-sells existing customers with CareCloud Wellness and other solutions could drive 4-8%, 3) the natural client churn from physicians retiring, and selling practices, etc. could be an 8% headwind.
Deep Dive of Wellness & Digital Health
The burden of chronic diseases is sizable; healthcare expenditure from chronic and mental conditions represents 90% of total spend and stands at $3.7 trillion. CareCloud Wellness offers tremendous value for patients and healthcare providers.
Wellness services and offerings are reimbursed by Medicare and private insurance and CareCloud expects the solution to help drive meaningful revenue growth for healthcare practices. Care providers do not incur any additional costs to sign up for the solutions. CareCloud provides the software, devices that are FDA-approved and covered by Medicare, appointment setup, and remote care managers.
