The Revenue Cycle focuses on collecting payment. The Revenue Re-cycle is the ongoing process of protecting that payment after it has been earned. From Medicare audits like RAC, QIO, TPE, and CERT to commercial auditors like Optum, MedReview, Humana, and Cotiviti, OnTarget Revenue replaces fragmented audit handling across facilities with a unified, enterprise-wide process—from audit intake through appeal management—delivering permanent, organized, and consistent revenue preservation at scale.
Most organizations divide post-payment audits into administrative work and clinical review. OnTarget Revenue eliminates much of the administrative workload by receiving Medicare correspondence directly from CMS through esMD and automatically processing commercial documents placed in your secure Dropbox. The platform identifies, organizes, routes, tracks, and manages each case, while AXIS | Audit Intelligence performs the detailed clinical analysis. Your team can focus on reviewing recommendations and moving more appeals forward instead of performing repetitive intake, data entry, and case administration.
