A: No.

The RFP Access Network represents years of development, programming, research, and database security investment. It is a proprietary, subscription-based resource built specifically for our healthcare Revenue Cycle CommUnity.

Because of the level of infrastructure, data curation, and security required to maintain the Network, we do not offer free trials.

No. Bulk export, scraping, automation, or redistribution of RFP data is strictly prohibited.

The Hospital Directory is a strategic research tool. Not every healthcare organization maintains a public RFP portal, and procurement processes vary widely.

With over 6,500 U.S. healthcare organizations identified, the Directory helps Business Partners research systems, locate vendor registration pages when available, and understand procurement structures.

Even when a formal RFP process is not publicly listed, the Directory supports proactive positioning, targeted outreach, and informed engagement within the healthcare Revenue Cycle market.

A: RCR|HUB uses a hybrid research approach to identify healthcare Revenue Cycle opportunities. Our human-led research team works alongside dozens of AI agents that continuously scan public procurement sources, healthcare organizations, and industry resources for relevant RFP and RFI opportunities. This combination of human expertise and AI assistance helps the HUB identify opportunities across the Revenue Cycle landscape and bring them together in one centralized network for our members.

A: RFP opportunities shared in the RCR|HUB RFP Access Network may come from a variety of sources including healthcare organizations, consulting firms, procurement advisors, and other industry resources. These opportunities may be shared directly with the HUB or identified through publicly available procurement channels. description

Q: Why is the RFP available through the RCR|HUB RFP Access Network?

A: The RFP Access Network exists to help Business Partners discover healthcare Revenue Cycle opportunities in one centralized location. The HUB provides access to the RFP information and related opportunity details as part of the network's resources for members.

The RFP Access Network was not built overnight. It was built with intention.

In 2020, early draft RFP templates were submitted to JER Marketing by providers as part of the original concept development. The goal was clear but ambitious: create a centralized, organized system that would bring structure, transparency, and accessibility to Revenue Cycle specific procurement opportunities.

By September of 2023, that concept became a formal initiative.

Vice Presidents of Revenue Cycle, C-suite leaders, and experienced vendor members participated in collaborative roundtables to shape what the Network should become. These were working sessions focused on real operational gaps:

• Fragmented procurement visibility
• Hours spent monitoring scattered portals
• Missed opportunities due to lack of specialization
• Over-reliance on generic RFP aggregation platforms

The consensus was clear. The Revenue Cycle CommUnity needed its own dedicated network.

On July 23, 2025, the RFP Access Network officially launched in structured table form. The initial release represented approximately 700 hospitals and health systems.

By December 2025, the Network evolved into full App form within RCR|HUB, creating a more scalable and organized user experience.

As of February 2026, the hospital research database has grown to include over 6,500 U.S. healthcare facilities. While portal links are not yet available for every organization, a dedicated research team leveraging AI-assisted tools continues to expand and verify procurement access weekly.

The development of the Network has been iterative and deliberate. Structure, compliance safeguards, sourcing standards, and security protocols have been continuously refined to protect both providers and Business Partners.

Today, the RFP Access Network represents:

• Years of collaboration
• Direct input from Revenue Cycle leadership
• Structured sourcing standards
• Ongoing AI-supported research expansion
• A dedicated focus on U.S. healthcare Revenue Cycle opportunities

Unlike broad procurement platforms, the RFP Access Network exists solely to support Business Partners and providers operating within the Revenue Cycle ecosystem.

It was built by the CommUnity, for the CommUnity, and it continues to grow with it.

Many revenue cycle vendors lose bids not because they aren’t qualified but because they approach the RFP process reactively.

A winning RFP strategy includes:

1. Opportunity Discovery (What the RFP Access Network solves)

• Monitor hospital RFP portals regularly

• Track new sourcing pages and portal changes

• Identify warm opportunities through leadership movement and system growth

2. Pre-Qualification

Before committing resources, ask:

• Are we a strong fit for the service category?

• Do we have reference clients similar to the issuing organization?

• Can we meet the timeline?

• Do we understand payer mix, volumes, and integration needs?

3. Bid/No-Bid Decision

Smart vendors decline 30–50% of RFPs.
Declining weak fits increases win rates dramatically.

4. Proposal Development

• Standard templates for scope, pricing, SLAs

• Clear differentiation points

• Case studies specific to hospital type (rural, urban, academic, IDN)

5. Follow-Up & Relationship Building

Winning the bid isn’t the final step implementation and ongoing metrics alignment matter.

Use these questions as a simple selection checklist:

Vendor Selection Questions (for yourself)

• Does the scope match your strongest service line?

• Do you have documented results for similar clients?

• Can your team handle the expected volumes?

• Do you integrate with the hospital’s EHR?

• Are there regulatory or compliance complexities?

• Can you deliver pricing that’s competitive for the hospital’s size?
