Accordion has acquired Pinnacle Healthcare Advisors, significantly expanding its Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) capabilities as health systems and investors face mounting margin pressure. The deal strengthens Accordion’s RCM Center of Excellence by adding Pinnacle’s deep expertise in cash collections, accounts receivable reduction, EHR optimization, and long-term revenue operations, complementing Accordion’s AI- and data-powered financial consulting platform. Together, the firms create one of the most comprehensive RCM platforms in the market, addressing rising denial rates, reimbursement delays, labor shortages, and payer complexity that have elevated RCM from a back-office function to a strategic priority.
