Reem Hospital, Ntigra team-up to elevate RCM through AI-powered solutions

Reem Hospital, a leading private-sector healthcare provider in the UAE, has teamed up with Ntigra AI Applications to shake up how revenue cycle management (RCM) is handled. This powerhouse collaboration isn't just about technology; it's about turning complex processes into seamless operations that prioritize patients while ensuring financial sustainability.

As Zaid Siksek, Chairman of Reem Hospital, puts it, this partnership "demonstrates our commitment to embracing cutting-edge AI technologies that improve patient care and drive sustainable growth."

How does it work?

At the heart of this groundbreaking alliance are Ntigra's flagship tools: Discovery AI-powered Auto Coding & Claim Validation and Octopus Autonomous Biller. These solutions act like turbochargers for Reem Hospital's operations, automating tedious billing tasks and cutting down on pesky claim denials. The Octopus' zero-code connectivity ensures these tools fit right into the hospital's existing systems without a hitch.

Here's the magic in action: predictive analytics catch errors before claims are submitted, ensuring compliance and reducing delays. Accurate coding speeds up reimbursement, while automation streamlines workflows. In short, these AI tools don't just crunch numbers-they empower hospital staff to focus on what they do best: caring for patients.

Naushad Mohammed, the hospital's Director of IT, calls it "transformative," noting how the platforms have "streamlined critical workflows, enhanced data accuracy, and ensured a seamless claims process."

Why does it matter?

For hospitals, revenue isn't just a bottom line; it's the oxygen that keeps the system running. Esam Hassoun, CEO of Ntigra, sums it up perfectly: "Oxygen matters, and so does revenue." By bolstering Reem Hospital's financial health, Ntigra's tools ensure resources are available to invest back into patient care and cutting-edge treatments.

The impact is tangible: fewer claim denials, faster reimbursements, and improved cash flow. That means fewer headaches for hospital administrators and more time for doctors to do what they're trained for. It also signals a broader trend — AI isn't just for tech giants; it's carving out its niche in healthcare, making life better for both patients and providers.

The context

This partnership is the latest chapter in Reem Hospital's ongoing mission to lead the UAE in healthcare innovation. Situated on Reem Island, the facility boasts over 200 beds and more than 35 specialties. With a history of embracing new technologies, the hospital's collaboration with Ntigra feels like a natural next step.

Globally, healthcare systems are under pressure to do more with less. Rising costs and administrative burdens make efficient revenue management a must. That's where Ntigra steps in, offering AI-driven solutions that are as practical as they are powerful. Their track record with tools like Checkmate and PowerDoc underscores their knack for solving real-world problems.

For Reem Hospital, this partnership is more than a business deal; it's a statement. As COO Alaa Obeid notes, "By integrating Ntigra's AI-driven tools, we are optimizing critical workflows and building a robust foundation for sustained operational and financial excellence."

Later this year, Reem Hospital plans to integrate more of Ntigra's solutions in 2025, including AI-powered eligibility verification and resubmission tools.
